Hans Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We aren't getting Juke. Bennett could make the step up but I think he needs maybe one more season to refine himself, but we certainly have a very talented striker on our hands, his just very raw currently. We essentially need a better version of Sammon. For me, our back up striker should have the following attributes: Experienced at Championship level or of a similar league standard if from abroad. Solid goal scoring record- I'm not talking another 20 per season scorer, because I'm not sure a player that scored 20 goals last season would be prepared to sit on the bench. But still a player with a consistent record. A player that is prepared to accept that he is essentially back up to our main striker Relatively good value for money (Under Juke's price) considering we are only buying a squad/bench player. I think it would make more sense to make a back-up striker a loan option rather than spend Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/15578-back-up-striker/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Wouldn't want us to spend any substantial fee so Juke is a definite no. I want to see Bennett given a few more games but I wouldn't be comfortable with him as the only back-up. Loan signing is my solution.

BoylestoneRam Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hmm.. Loan striker, consistent scoring record, relatively injury free. Patrick Bamford anyone? Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/15578-back-up-striker/#findComment-642336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Billy Sharp...Nicky Maynard? Both would fail on the relatively injury free front but would fit the other mentioned criteria!

Scott129 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Probably looking at loaning a Prem youngster if we're not getting Juke. Can't see them getting much game time ahead of Martin anyway, unless he's injured.

Hans Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Agard looks promising. Rejected a new deal too with Rotherham. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/15578-back-up-striker/#findComment-642349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Season starts on 16th August so that's b0llox It's after the start of the season. Wouldn't make sense to have it before the end of the transfer window. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/15578-back-up-striker/#findComment-642504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
