Would you take Taylor as your striker Golfie?golfaddick said:All I can say is if we leave it until deadline day & then a deal for a striker falls apart & we end up not signing one then this season is going to be a waste.
We have had since June to sign a striker and knew we were light up front ever since we let Washington leave.We've signed so many midfielders/wingers we are now having to unload 1 or 2 fringe players just to give us the option of signing someone. With the news that Aneke could be weeks away from even making the bench (thus missing the first 10 or 12 games) means we are going into games with just 2 strikers (one of which is young & inexperienced and imo about as good as Davison). No other League 1 club who is seriously looking at promotion would leave themselves in this position.

Moving goalposts. By the same token there's no reason we need to have 3 senior strikers. We have Stockley, Aneke and Leaburn who at this point is streets ahead of Henry and the rest. Aneke is injury-prone, but then so is JFC, and for longer, sometimes season-long periods. Who was the striker we wanted who was readily available at the same time as McGrandles who we could have signed that we missed out on I wonder? Clare is our right back and a disasterpiece at central midfield, and not only is Sessegnon not actually a centre mid at all, as you say we don't have senior cover at LB. Saying we don't need to have enough midfielders because we could use that money to just about have enough left backs to play one totally out of position is bonkers. May as well say JFC is our senior back up LB by that logic, he's played more senior games there than Sessegnon has at central midfield. Henry is the youngster at central midfield coming through but there aren't any others remotely ready, certainly not looking any more ready than Kanu, and Henry still has a huge amount to show before he's a serious consideration. Central midfield will be the key part of the way Garner plays and he needs options there, and the right player was available. We will rotate massively, we've already seen McGrandles pick up two injuries since he started, we'll need to use a whole squad throughout the season and we'll really feel it if we're light there. I guarantee we'd get by better having to play Clayden at LB all season than we would having to play Henry there all season if it came to it.killerandflash said:
There's no reason that we have to have 6 senior midfielders though, especially as we have youngsters like Henry coming through, and others like Clare and Sessegnon who can also play there IF we had more cover in the full back areas.Garrymanilow said:MuttleyCAFC said:I would rather keep Clare over Egbo in all honesty. No way should we lose Clare and even more crazy to lose Dobson. Why did we sign McGrandles if we were short in other areas, why did we sign Aneke (we haven't had an answer to that one). Why did we take the option on JFC's contract if we want rid?We play with a midfield three, so we need 6 central midfielders to have proper squad cover. Garner has already shown he's big on rotating in the midfield. When we signed McGrandles he became the 6th centre mid in a squad where we were expecting two other midfielders to probably leave. We then signed Payne to make 7, though he's generally been played further forward rather than in the midfield three when he's played. If we hadn't signed McGrandles when we had the chance and he'd gone elsewhere and we'd still be looking to shift the other two but with no-one in. We'll probably shift Gilbey soon and possibly JFC on deadline day, and then we'd be running round feverishly trying to get centre mids in before the window closed while people whined that we always leave our business to the last minute and Sandgaard doesn't know how to build a squad. We'd also likely get a worse player because we shrugged our shoulders and ignored a target becoming available. Matt Smith v.3 anyone?The reason Clare has come up is because we're apparently talking to him about an extension and there's no indication we're going to lose Dobson either, there's not really a lot of need to panic about that just yet..
Players like Dobson and Morgan are the types who are likely to play the full 90 anyway, it's in forward positions where you need impact from the bench.

Scully ran us ragged last season up at their place a real menace when he had the ball in the final third, also very hard working.Then again, there’s a massive list of players who ran us ragged last season.11

We needed a center forward in May. We released Washington, then sold Davison.
If the reason we haven't signed a center foward is purely wage budget, someone has dropped a clanger somewhere. If.
It's a big if because it's all 2+2=5.
Personally I think it's Gilbey out for a center half and then it's either a "money" player out for a striker or a last minute loan.
I don't believe getting JFC or MacGillivray off the wage bill would be enough to bring a decent striker in.0 - Sponsored links:

This. We’ve two players in every position for our current formation except for CB. Midfield we have three for each position (not including CDM). So it makes sense, I think we’re going to have to live with the idea that Leaburn is the back up when the inevitable injury happens/happening to Aneke.Cafc43v3r said:

As it stands we are an injury away from, crisis is to strong a word, trouble at center half and center forward.
The plague of the last two seasons. Fix that and, almost, everyone will be happy. We haven't in the last 3 windows so why should we expect it now?
I really hope we do, I would be over the moon. I really would. I don't expect it though, that's the difference.2 -

If we let JFC and Gilbey go without replacing them, we'd still have 5 senior midfielders for 3 places. Plus Henry, plus the other emergency options, and yes Sessegnon can play in midfield as he said so himself. Henry will be 19 in a week's time, I don't see why he can't get some game time now.Garrymanilow said:

Yes, smaller, well some of the gaps in the squad have been plugged by youngsters such as Clayden and Leaburn. Plus this summer we've had the Pope money, that's not going to happen every window.ShootersHillGuru said:

I think if we had a couple of injuries in midfield we'd see Clare move there as we'd still have Egbo (when he's back of course), Sessegnon and Clayden to fill the full back spots. I can see the argument for keeping one of JFC and Gilbey, but 5 plus Clare/Henry could just about be manageable.killerandflash said:
