I think I've found us just the answer, a player with Premier League experience, I think within our wage structure and shouldn't break the bank.
Has averaged a league goal every 2.5 games and has masses of experience - added to that he should fit in perfectly!
Oh, sorry forgot to mention his name....
Glenn Murray

Muzza is good for coming off the bench, but agree not starting striker in PL.

Cameron Jerome looked better than anything we've got today. Yes, Cameron Jerome.
I reckon the only reason the club offered Baldock an extension to his stay in sickbay was because they knew they couldn't sign 2 strikers.
Usual trouble - different division.

There is the right striker out there for us, we are not going to spend 10-15 million on someone we don't actually want just because fans on NSC want a striker ASAP. As premier league teams and other top European teams finalise there squads there are going to be a number of good strikers that will become available as clubs look to get them off the wage bill before the transfer window closes. We will have the number 9 CH wants. Hopefully he will be good enough to score a few goals that assist in keeping us up or better. Murray, Baldock, Hemed all good enough to play but parts especially if we play 4-4-2 anytime through the season.

He didn't fail with Palace. His goal scoring record for them was excellent. Just wasn't going to get a game after a change of manager and signing of Benteke.

Baldock back up? Three years and counting. Find it hard to believe that any Albion fan doesn't think we need cover for our most injury prone player, when he is the only player in the club who can play in his position.

So far down the pecking order at Bournemouth that they were happy to loan him it. Not really what you want from your main striker.
And his backup? Shiver.

As much as most of us love Murray, Baldock and Hemed, as starting strikers against top flight defenders, they aren't going to score the vital goals that propel us to safety. Scoring a stack of goals is vital - Sunderland, Boro and Hull scored the fewest goals and all went down.
We need two new strikers of the required quality. Should either get injured or suspended, then we will have quality cover. In addition, if they offer differing qualities, it gives variety to our attack, so opposing coaches can't work out a single copycat game plan to frustrate us.
We've spent bugger all money out of the huge new riches, so the club has the money to invest.

I'd say our frontline is upper championship at best and still can't believe we've got the same strikers and only 3 in the premiership
Murrays old now and should be a sub and baldock has numerous injury issues....that leaves 3rd choice hemed as the likely key striker

Spot on.....awful frontline and by far the worst in the division and must confess if we was in the championship I'd prefer better this season.

If it wasn't such a serious problem, it would almost be comical. But I'm just a bed wetter so what do I know.

Quality strikers and goals keep teams up in the PL. Simple.
Without that against 19 brilliant, to bloody well organised, teams with their own match winners, a squad is toothless.

Agree, we're very exposed, hope I'm wrong. Everything has to go right, and don't think Hemed is PL

I really hope hemed and co do the business but Murray has been released by Bournemouth and palace in the prem when younger so doesn't bode well.
Can't see many goals next season sadly with these three but underneath you know they deserve a crack....very tricky situation !!
