Errr, jury out, especially on Big Jurg... and Andone is a nutter, which doesn't help!

Although Brentford do not do
Loans, or they had that policy for quite a well.

In effect we have done that already with the signings of Locadia and Andone, neither are target men but strikers and, (hopefully), goalscorers nonetheless.

I don't know why the jury is out - what are they waiting for? His goals for us show what he's good at, you give him a chance in the box and bang, goal. As we all know, the team wasn't set up to get the best out of individuals last season and we rarely created chances for him. And when he did play, he was marooned out in a deep wide left position which is a comedic waste of his talent - finishing.
Would Ruud van Nistelrooy have been asked to play deep wide left? Never.

Or Ashley Barnes for that matter, regularly played out of position wide left by Gus, one move to Burnley later and he is banging in the goals from his natural position, centre forward.

Dyche didn't start picking him as a CF regularly until last season.

Does anyone actually think we will spend 20+ million on this lad?

Putting it like that I now really really want to see us sing a less mobile centre forward.

Yes, I think we will have to break 20 mill this season for a player...
Not at all.

Nope, but i'd like us to, i dont actually think we will sign a striker at all, i think Andone will be a far better player this season, you could see he was frustrated last season, tactics, Hughton, not enough starts, being substituted earlier than he would have liked when he did start, probably a bit of each.

We do have £50m in the kitty don’t see why not
I'd be surprised if we sign a striker if I'm honest
I'm not meaning to rain on this at all but looking at the YouTube montage of all his goals, aren't they all a bit... sh!t?
Almost all of them are bundled in off his knee, shin, bum, toe poke or a penalty. I don't expect all of them to be worldies but if we're expecting all of our goals to come from poor goalkeeping resulting in the ball falling conveniently at the striker's feet, we're in trouble. There aren't many Wayne Hendersons in the Premier League these days.

IMHO we will wait to see how Locadia and Andone who we have already bought do. Perhaps TB will go back on his views in January if they do not succeed, and look again if needed.

These aren't the players you're looking for.

Goal poachers are worth their weight in gold.
Go and take a look at the show reels of Lineker, Solskjaer, Inzaghi, Klose and Michael Owen. It's about being in the right place at the right time that gets a player 20 goals a season.
