I know I will get slated but I do not think that Vokes is the answer to our goalscoring problems whether it be in The Championship or more so in the Premier League. I am sure that there are better about for the same sort of money and if not there will be in the summer.

And it's all gone quiet..
Technically Liverpool have only put 5 past us this season...
For the first game our back line was Ankergren, Greer, Calderon, Cook, Vincelot.
For the second game Mattock and Reyes who we'd grown accustomed to somewhat were both cuptied, so we played a centre back as a full back.
Oh, and 4 of the goals we conceded were while we had a left winger at left-back.
I think we can be excused for letting in a few goals against one of the best sides in the country, and I'd say we could survive being promoted.

When Wolves get relegated and Lose Doyle and Fletcher, Vokes wont be available.
I rate Vokes. And will get better, but I think we may go for something a bit better over the summer.
Im desperate to see him and CMS play together though before the end of the season, as a genuine 2 up top.
I think we only may see it if we are needing victories though, while its tight and we are in solid contention we will stick with the current formation.

If we can't keep Vokes then maybe Hoskins will come back a better player anyway?
I would prefer that option but it does away with a different option of a target man. Having said that I would like to play Hoskins and CMS and have an older possibly past his best, big target man to bring on for 20 mins as an option if needed somebody like John Carew.

I nearly went for you then..... hehe then read the word LIKE Jon Carew, who quite possibly was the worst striker I have seen this season.

I would agree but was thinking of somebody of his size etc, but not him. I am sure there will be one become available in the summer with Premier experience but at the moment cant think of a name.

Always Jordan Rhodes, scored a lot at Huddersfield. Would be hard to get him with the Premier League clubs looking at him, he has no higher league experience and whether he will still perform at another club is a risk. Then theres the money.

Given that strikers tend to be far and away the most expensive players on the pitch, I'm not convinced that we'll be able to get in any proven Premiership goalscorers if we go up. I think that's one area where we might have to go with Championship players with the potential to step up, and I'd still put Vokes in that category, so it's a yes from me.

Peace out.
I'd keep him even if we did go up. He has been playing well here and on Saturday was my MOTM.

Can't understand the attraction of Brighton and Hove againts the environs of Wolverhampton and district?
Reminds me of the classic Peter Sellers, him dressed up as a cloth capped Londoner.

A relative of mine who lives in Wolverhamptonm reckons when they get relegated they will take offers for all of their players in order to balance their books. He reckons Vokes would be available at about the £1m mark.

Get Hooper and all our problems are solved.
I wonder how much Wayne Hennessey would go for. A keeper of his calibre would be essential, in my opinion, if we were to fluke promotion this year.
Also, I would love Elikobi. Not only is he the biggest lump of muscle ever to play football, but he also scored against Man United last season... twice!

He's been their best player this season, not saying much considering they've absolutely stunk the EPL out, but still he's been playing top teams every week who will be sniffing in the summer, I think we'll struggle to get him. Elokobi would be very much within reach but he's a bit of a donkey by all accounts in a team of hoofball, I don't think he'd be Gus's type of player at all.
