Following the result over the w/end some people on CL were suggesting that we have a lack of teeth up front. I haven't manged any pre-season games owing to work commitments so wondered who people thought we could bring in. Seeing as we have no cash at the moment looks like we'd have to go for freebies.
The loan idea personally has no appeal. Seen enough loan players at the club over the last few years to last me a life time. With that in mind would you have a punt on
Carl Cort.
Released by Norwich, recently trialed with Wycombe, powerful striker, could be what we need at this level.
Just a thought.

I think you've answered your own question there.
That'll be a no then! ;-)
Other ideas?
Any money we have needs to be spent on firepower and even one decent striker may not be enough.

Should be unveiled on Thursday, if medical all goes well.
Not the Charlton way I think
Who edited wikipedia?
Should fit in well then.
Anyone heard anything on Kandol? i think he would be quality in league 1 either him and dicko or burton mix it up a bit
I know some sunday league players better than that lot.
If Kandol was that good he'd still be a regular for Leeds.
Cort, on the other hand, I might have him in the squad. Very unlucky with injuries (sounds like a Charlton player already!) but, provided he put in the effort, would be a more than useful target man at this level. Of course, I couldn't say whether he'd put the effort in - I'm suspecting that on a pay as you play deal he might.
We should take the money and run on Fleetwood, he's poor in the air and offers nothing more than Mcleod or Dixon imo.
Scoham, that was Johnnybev that mentioned Kandol, I'm not overly enamoured of him either, but Leeds have better strikers than Kandol, do we?
That's a fair point, though I don't see Kandol just as a poor player, but not an improvement on what we have. A different option to Burton, that's about it. If he's the best we can get I guess he could be worth trying alongside Dickson again. At least they had one game together in which they looked a dangerous.
And agree about Fleetwood, such a strange signing when he's a very similar player to Dickson and McLeod.
We could look at signing Waghorn again yeah. I think the Championship was a big step up for him but he could be useful in League One.
we've got the best non scoring forwards about
Would agree with that. Was certainly a very promising player once-upon-a-time. Haven't really seen any better suggestions kicking around so I would be willing to take a punt on him, provided any deal was heavily weighted in our favour, i.e. very low basic salary with most of his pay coming from appearance and performance bonuses and on a short term deal with an extension clause triggered by a certain number of games and/or goals.
We'd still need to be looking for another signing though, because we'd be foolish to put all our eggs in such an injury prone basket.
Definitely prefer him to Kandol or Pericard though.
How is it fair to call him a twat?
He got signed by us whether he's good enough or not - Blame Pardew!
God, times is hard.
Calm down Dazzler, I was actually talking about Pericard.
I'd have loved to get Adebola, but we've sunk so far even he's out of our league these days. Grim times indeed.
Sorry Pilchard didn't notice that lol
