Richard Brodie

Richard Brodie leaving York for Scunthorpe in deal worth 100k. I'm guessing we can't afford that?

Scoham

Probably have other targets, Benson for one.

Leroy Ambrose

I'm guessing we don't think he's good enough, are sick of strikers untested at the level we're playing and have already signed Pawel Abbott.

I don't think this is true for a number of reasons.

1. Scunthorpe's manager has flatly denied this rumour
2. York will want more than 100k for their top scorer
3. Colchester apparently had a bid of 200k turned down earlier this summer so York are unlikely to agree a deal of half that.

However Brodie is apparently out of contract next summer so York may well decide he has to be sold now or risk losing him for free next year.

Now we've got Abbott and Sodje, my hunch is that Parky is looking at other types of striker now.

Ones with good goal scoring records then..?

Scunthorpe have sold/lost-on-Bosman all of their strikers from last season (including £2.4m for Gary Hooper), so I would imagine they'd have a bit more to spend than us as well.

I agree we need a goalscorer now, two big lads up front now. We need a young, quick striker who'll get us 20 goals a season.

I agree we need someone direct & pacy upfront. I wonder how much it would cost to prise Jon-Paul Pittman away from Wycombe - I thought he was a handful when we palyed them at their place.

i thought he was real quality and i couldnt believe that he didnt move on when the went down ..


there must be a reason why he has not moved on

That'll do for me too.

Maglor

If we wanted a top Blue Square striker we could have kept Fleetwood? Brodie is a rough diamond with a dodgy first touch. Also a habit of getting himself sent off - so a dodgy temprament too.

I'd be happy with an old quick striker

Does no-one believe Abbott will be our 20 goal striker?Have been surprised that not many see him that way!

cafc_se7

All in all, he seems well capable of hitting the 20 goal mark, depending on level of service and support.

But we still need someone capable of playing off him, probably a nippy channel runner. ..... who might well get his own share of goals.

adamtheaddick

Mick mccarthy wants him at wolves to play alongside kevin Doyle. .....
