Dartmouth Ram Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 So if Billy Sharp turns us down (Cov still interested apparently) who do you think we'd go for? Who's still left! A quick glance at Tranfermarkt shows the following out of contract players who'd perhaps realistically / maybe sign for the Rams: Connor Wickham Macauley Bonne Lewis Grabban Keyendrah Simmonds Josh Eppiah Nathan Delfouneso Dom Dwyer Lyle Taylor Gary Madine Bright Enobakhare So if we can't spend any money (which it appears we can't) who out of those would you take? If any? Personally I'd try for Macauley Bonne. Right age and has scored goals at this level. Thoughts? Or is it just Billy Sharp or bust at this stage?

That is probably Warnes thinking and may well look to the loan market which should be starting to generate in the next few weeks. I think theres very little available where we are competing financially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Tyler Walker IMO, get him fit and he'll score goals at this level. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's still left! A quick glance at Tranfermarkt shows the following out of contract players who'd perhaps realistically / maybe sign for the Rams: Connor Wickham - Always injured Macauley Bonne - If we had to sign someone from this list Lewis Grabban - High wage demands Keyendrah Simmonds - Not even L2 quality Josh Eppiah - Not even L2 quality Nathan Delfouneso- Not even L2 quality Dom Dwyer - Plays in the MLS for a reason Lyle Taylor - No Gary Madine - Injured until Christmas Bright Enobakhare - Not even good enough for the Indian league. So if we can't spend any money (which it appears we can't) who out of those would you take? If any? Personally I'd try for Macauley Bonne. Right age and has scored goals at this level. Thoughts? Or is it just Billy Sharp or bust at this stage? The obvious one to add to the list is Chris Martin. The only other free agent who I'd be half tempted by is Elvis Manu - previously at Brighton. Awkward, gangly, doesn't look like a football at times, but would add the much desired pace to our forward line. Can also play on either wing. Loan options: Daniel Jebbison - Match time seems limited at Sheff Utd. 1 goal and 2 assists for them in 489 minutes last season, and 7 goals in 1238 minutes for Burton the season before. A Championship loan is more likely. Jay Stansfield - 9 goals and 7 assists in 2505 minutes at Exeter. A Championship loan is more likely. Josh Coburn - 10 goals in 2308 minutes last season at Bristol Rovers Reyes Cleary - 16 goals and 3 assists in 12 games for West Brom u21s. Doesn't appear to be in their first team plans this season. Dickson-Peters - 2 failed loans out so far, but has 18 goals and 7 assists for Norwich U21s over the past 2 seasons Dom Ballard - 13 goals and 4 assists for Southampton U21s last season. Still only 18. Divin Mubama - 13 goals and 2 assists for West Ham U21s. Played twice in the Conference League, scoring 1 and assisting 1 Dane Scarlett - Didn't quite work for him at Portsmouth last season. 4 goals and 1 assist in 1719 minutes (3 goals and 1 assist in 1032 mins when starting CF) with little impact when on the wing Nathan Young-Combes - a goal contribution every 65 minutes when on loan at Wimbledon last season. 3 goals and 3 assists prior to picking up an injury, resulting in a recall in January.

GenBr Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Do I think we need a striker? Yes Do I think any of those listed would improve us? No If they are our only options may as well just save the money Grimbeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No If they are our only options may as well just save the money That's what Warne thought in January, hence us not signings a 3rd CF to compete with McGoldrick and Collins. Since our forward options are currently: Sibley, Barkhuizen, Mendez-Laing, Waghorn, Washington and Collins, we definitely need someone. As promising as DBrown is, he needs a full season at U21 level before being a full time member of the first team squad. DCFC1388 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
