It was also said Wayne would not let dd leave without. Replacement 

They also didnt say whether the replacement would be signed before or after he was sold.

Okay chaps I told the A.I bollocks to find us a specific striker in the mould of Rickie Lambert, I.e someone from the lower leagues who could come in and do the job. 

I wanted good aerial and hold up skills and experience of scoring goals.

Alasanna Jatta - Notts County, 

58 games / 32 goals 

6.4 I height, German.

Lorent Tolaj - Plymouth ( 11 goals ) 

Isac Lidberg - Darmstadt 98 ( 16 games 11 goals )  

( 

Role: Centre-forward & main attacking outlet.

Profile: Strong, physical striker comfortable with aerial duels and hold-up play. Frequently wins headers and is used as a focal point in attack.

Scoring: Among the 2. Bundesliga’s top scorers this season (double-digit goals).

Why he fits: Classic target-man mould — holds the ball, good in the air, and consistently finds the net at this level. )

Noel Futkeu - Greuther Furth 

23 years old, 

Role: Main striker with physical edge.

Attributes: Tall, strong in aerial challenges, and excellent at scoring from crosses/centering moves.

Why he fits: Combines height + aerial prowess + consistent goals — very Lambert-like in style.

Massimo Coda (Sampdoria)

Profile: Classic target man — tall, strong, and often a team’s outlet for long balls and headers.

Goals: Regularly among the top scorers in Serie B.

Why he fits: Physical presence + aerial threat + goals.

 

Any of the above stand out of could do a job ? Should all be realistic

That's you light years ahead of SR's recruitment team. 🙂

[St. Ciervo]

The recruitment team will certainly be watching a youtube highlight of each of these players. Signing announced soon.

Petition to appoint ally to the clubs recruitment team. Done a better job in 5 minutes than they have in 4 years 

[Brumsaint]

Yousef Salech at Cardiff City - scored 8 goals in 20 for a relegated side last year and is now banging them in for them in league one (12 goals and 4 assists in 25). 6 ft 5 but not a bean pole - looks strong and has the pace to run beyond defenders. Only 23 and I'm surprised they held onto him after relegation.

Good call, plus he’s Danish. Come on Ankersen you serial bell end!

some journo trawling the name of Joel Piroe .A success at Swansea during Russell Martin's time

and later at Leeds, but is now out in the cold.   We need another name to replace Damion Downs.

Jovan Makama (21, 6'5'', already 12 goals this season in a poor side) at Norwich has shown recently that there can be value in the lower Leagues. It's not guaranteed though, especially when you factor in that we are Southampton Football Club. 😄

Joel Piroe is the sensible shout, but I expect he'll have more attractive options than ourselves.

Are you the former daveinsweeden out of interest? Haven't seen him around for a while, so wondering if you're back!

[Fabrice29]

Piroe is an interesting one because he plays in similar parts of the pitch as Armstrong which means he’ll drop deep and look to link play. I think we need a channel runner personally but he does have the traits to play that deep/link play that we like with the physical upgrades.

Good to see him back... I've missed

bold highlights in his posts.
