"Why have we signed Washington, he doesn't score goals. We need a goal scorer"

Get linked with a 1 in 2 striker with nearly 250 career goals who is widely regarded as a goal scorer.

"Yeah not him"

Not in the last 7 seasons though. Crap footballer small old and slow. Don’t get this one. I get Washington because he can run behind and stretch teams/create space for others.

No imagination? Imagine the uproar on here if we sign a striker no ducker has of 😂😂😂

I’d probably have a w***!

This is a similar feeling to when that starting line up at Wembley came out in the concourses!

A fox in the box 7 times or less for the last 7 seasons. More like a squirrel in a box 

Clowes did say with have a sizeable budget in comparison to the rest of the league. 
And we haven’t spent a fee on any transfers thus far so maybe we have a bit to get that elusive striker we need!

Who has no imagination: our recruitment team or the press?

Hopefully the press! 
We could be in for a surprise with a bit of luck!

Am finding it so depressing that every striker we’re linked with is over 30.

out squad doesn’t feel any younger or quicker than last year. We’ve lost knights energy so far. 

these were all the excuses given as to why ended the season so poorly. 

Akinfenwa next…

Why can’t we find a striker no one has heard of?
Especially with this recruitment guy who is supposed to be so highly rated? 
Just journeyman old strikers being linked.

No imagination.

Good start 

Definitely Wilson’s hand!

Doesn’t even make the N Ireland bench so was he ever that good? Washington starts!
Never understood the hype on here

Guesswork or ITK? 

Guesswork I don’t know left from right half the time!

Bradley and Nombe are the ones! Would be ok with Washington if we landed Nombe!

Don’t get many 19 year olds called “Tony” anymore!

Interest for Sam Nombe seems to be picking up, really hope derby are in for him he’s a great player at this level and would be brilliant as a striker in a 2. Only 24 with one year left on his contract wouldn't be an astronomical fee. 43 appearances last year (34 starts) with 15 goals and 7 assists.

This is more like it! 👍🏻

more likely we need to know if he’ll be sold, and for how much, before we can decide whom we most want to buy and how much we can pay  

Well only Bristol have been linked that was weeks ago and he has since been pictured smiling in training so would it be best to assume he staying and build the rest of the team

We will want to sign the best players available to us … selling Knight would alter our budget and we may be able to sign better players than if we didn’t sell him. 

But our chairman has already indicated we have the best budget in the league so what difference wound it make?

Knight is Warnes favourite so doubt he falls in the category of wanting to sell Knight.

Why is there an assumption that we have to sell Knight before we buy anyone?

Clowes indicated we have a sizeable budget and it would be enough to get out of this league!

He didn’t mention selling anyone?

The way he ‘spotted’’ Tony Springett?

 

Last years budget doesn’t compare to this seasons though. He spotted enough for Rotherham 3 times!

As long as he is the right age 😉

Maybe warne thinks he can improve him. Better having a 24 year old with questionable stats than say a 31 year old with no resale value in the same position and no great stats throughout his career also.

If we’re looking at bringing in 3 forwards he fits the age profile as long as we’re going to sign a more reliable goal scorer.

I hope he's a winger with them awful stats 👀

Says forward/winger on wiki. 5 caps for Wales
