Needs to be a proven 20+ Goals championship level striker. Not a league 1 bod with potential as too many fall short. Lambert is a great shout.

So which forward do we want to buy?

The logic is that if Dunk and Goldson carry on playing together, they will be immense. Great defences come from long term partnerships and we have the makings of an excellent one. Since they started playing together, our defence has been better than earlier in the season. We can look at LB as cover for Bong, Bruno/Liam at RB is fine for another season. But we have to keep the CB pairing together.
This is an odd one. We were one of the highest scorers in the division, and Hemed scored 17 goals, yet we all want a goalscorer.
Hardly any of the names mentioned on here inspire me for various reasons. Perhaps Will Grigg?
Because we create a huge amount of chances with the likes of Knocky and Skalak on the pitch yet we are still not taking them clinically enough especially against the top sides.

Indeed, it is an odd one. I think what we really need next season is a bit of luck - shots that deflect in off the woodwork instead of out for a start. I like Baldock, but he is the obvious one that needs replacing - Vydra is not the answer.
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!

Agree completely, all this thread is missing currently is an input from Ben's auntie's father.
We didn't yesterday, but the number of goals we scored over the course of the season suggests we are. When you have a playing budget, you have to decide how it's going to be spent. If you take the view you appear to be taking, we'll want a £9m striker like Gray or Rhodes (who really isn't all that anyway) - so you're waving goodbye to at least TWO key players with that money. Take your pick - two from Kayal, Stephens, Knockaert and Skalak.

two strikers that have impressed me in the play-offs have been Omar Bogle from Grimsby and Jamille Matt on loan at Plymouth from Fleetwood. Yes, I know they're lower league, but are the robust type of nuisance striker I think we need............and we all know about one former Fleetwood striker.

That's what I think, I think he would do great at this level!

Our most potent weapons since Xmas has been the Knockers/Skalak set piece taking ability. How are we going to get those 2 and March (assuming he gets back to his pre-injury form) all in the team at the same time? Skalak up front maybe?

Everybody was turd for tinpot Reading.
Akinfenwa would try to jump at the chance, certainly.
I take your point but we scored a shed load of those mostly against bottom half teams at home who had pretty much given up after we'd gone 2 goals in front. What we need is a player who will take chances when your behind in games or up against opposition who are playing for a point. With regard to the budget, I think the most likely players to get sold are Stephens or Kayal and I can't see either of them going for less than £6million each, with how close we were this season it depends whether TB wants to push the boat out.

How many of Hemeds were from the spot?
This team, especially the wings and Midfield is creating plenty of chances, but still in important games against those at the top we're not converting enough. Hemed is not crap but he's not class either, he flatters to deceive, great with his head but not very good with his feet, he misses a lot of good opportunities and theyre at a premium in this league.
Ulloa and Murray were better and would do better than 17 goals in this current team especially if allocated penalty duties as well. I'd like to keep Hemed, but we need competition for his place.

Please do nothing like a Burnley, except go up. They will play the worst football in the Premier league and will come straight back down. Hoof ball with a decent centre forward doesn't cut it in the Premier League!

A Baldock upgrade. Needs to be stronger, keep the ball better and a more clinical/prolific finisher. I like Nahki Wells at Huddersfield: 18 goals in 47 games this season.
A Bobby replacement as competition for Tomer. Big and strong in the air, we know now that our crosses/set plays are a real strength. I would back our recruitment team to find the right man, almost certainly from abroad.

They had a poor season and have been relegated, probably cos some team keeps nicking their best players...........
Florin Andone of Cordoba had a good season, 18 in 33 for an average side, only 23 and 6ft tall. Romanian so no work permit issues, unless we Brexit.
