Stripperg-ram Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Having just looked at @Mostyn6's poll. It seems there's a majority of people who would like to see our 'wardrobe' relieved of his goal scoring duties at Fulham and returned back home, to link up with a hungry McLaren and an attack just waiting for some hold up play, the occassional wonder goal and maybe, (ever so infrequently) a bit of a falling over to give us some free-kick based territorial/possessional advantage. But what if he doesn't come back? What if the big city is doing the big lad some good? What if our sorrowful, back-water province no longer appeals? Who should we go for then? Basically; what next if he's not back by January? Who else is out there in this league, or any other, that can do what he did/does? Do we spend another £8million? Or do we 'Clough-it-up' and find a League One wonder for £200k? Suggestions would be handy. Hugs and Kisses Chris Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiddingsRam Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I think the big guy with the silly hair from QPR would suit us well . Sebastian Polter . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Wayne Rooney- on Loan until the end of the season - he might just fancy it if the finances were appropriate for us and it would be mighty interesting to see how our players performed with that level of player.

dajstrawb Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Wouldn't mind seeing us take a swipe at a foreign target man/hold up player. Always was excited when we were linked with Tomas Necid, the big Czech striker last year. Thought that could have been a really interesting signing and still do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Genuinely think Vydra will prove to be an excellent acquisition. However, if we're looking for a big man option then Sam Gallagher should be (and should have been!) a target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamsPolls Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 There aren't many players out there who could do a job for us at the moment. There are many that are experienced in the championship but don't score enough goals consistently. If we do get the reported £9m fee for Chris Martin from Fulham in January, we should put all of our funds into getting Britt Assombalonga from Forest. He is lethal at this level and if we have moved up the table by January and Forest are still in a relegation battle I can see us been able to tempt him away. Him and Vydra would be one of the best partnerships in this division. We were interested in him back in the summer but left it far too late to get a deal over the line. Also the fact that Fawaz is still in charge doesn't help our chances. If they get this takeover completed I think we would have a great chance at signing him. I think with Fawaz in charge it would take about £12m to get him to sell to us as he would want to pocket the money and then sell the club. If the takeover is done before January I think it would take about £9-10m to tempt Assombalonga away from Forest. It is possible. And I would love to see him here.

Interesting to know how long his loan agreement is. Because I know Marvin Emnes is only on loan there until January. So would be interesting if Gallagher has done the same, If so we could snap him up when that loan agreement has expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a real handful at this level and bring Vydra in to the game as well as scoring a few himself. Would give us the presence we need up top.

Grant's contract expires at the end of the season so would be a good bit of business. But what would happen to Darren Bent. We would need to ship him out somewhere. 2 ex-england players is more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Crouch is 35. He will soon live up to his name. Let's be more ambitious. There are few cut-price forward solutions. A player who has impressed me in highlights is Sam Larsson of Heerenveen. We need flair and whilst I suspect he's out of our budget we need someone to excite the fans again.

Waffle Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Most top scorers in the Bundesliga 2 are of Martin's build. Can't think of anyone who could step up to the plate in League 1 or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I'd not go the ageing PL "quality" striker on the downswing of his career route myself. Any kind of like for like top striker in the division is going to be as much as we get in for martin to get hold of e.g. Britt No, be sensible and buy cheap potential or a bargain from abroad. Buying the best available in the division has got is where we are. I also think Vydra could be excellent and despite poor service, when I've seen him, I think he looksva danger. And Chris/Steve, buy a right back at least as good as Christie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Potters season ticket mate thinks he is unlucky not to be getting more game time with them. In the past we have brought in some other old heads who have mad a real difference, McGrath, Taribo West, Gordon Cowans...I think Crouch could have a similar impact for us....
