I would say the 26m figure rules us out - loan?? but can't see this as a goer.

I suppose we could be desperate to the tune of 26m by the time January comes around!

Would be great, but seems unlikely.

The only problem I have is that why would we buy a striker who can't score goals, when our problem is we can't score goals?

Might thrive here I suppose but could also be another case of expensive non-performer in our set up.

Just what we need, another short, nippy player who rarely scores goals. I'm sure he has a great pass completion %.

Any chance of us being linked with a striker in the Lambert/Pelle mould?

But he scored six goals last season. He's worth every penny

Hardly the full story. 14 appearances only 6 starts. 141 minutes per goal.

13 goals and 7 assists in 2015/16

Yes please!!!! If we got him, though, surely that would spell the end for Shlong?
