Something that's missed on this is that DK taking over when he did meant we maxed out on the value of Hamer and Gyokores. DK taking over was a 'sliding doors' moment for us, that has put us in this great position right now. If SISU had instead remained at that point they would both been sold...

If Hamer had not previously played for us, most of those against signing him would be creaming their pants at the prospect of bringing in such a player for £6m. Many of the references to his weight are based on bitterness surrounding him leaving us, just as West Ham fans are accused towards FL...

Sakamoto may be out of form at present, but I can't believe how some seem to be writing him off. Even if Esse turns out to be as good as we hope we will still need Tats to play his part, as I'm sure he will.

Not sure I agree with you but if we are going to play 2 up front then there's even more reason to sign a 4th forward.

By adding 'apparently' it seemed like you were questioning if it was correct!

You do know that we weren't the holders when Sutton beat us?

BTA isn't an out and out striker though. When he's fit and in the team he's usually playing with Simms or Wright. It has seemed to me that most promoted sides in recent seasons have had a depth of options up front. One more body gives us more leeway to ride the vagaries of form and injury. The...

If the reports of his huge salary are true he won't be that easy to offload.

I doubt it. Their crossover at Chelsea would have been when Castledine was aged between 6 and 8!

Very sad news. What a signing he was. If I remember right he signed on the same day as Ian Wallace and Bobby McDonald, so probably the best day's transfer business the club has ever done. Despite his hard man on pitch persona he only ever came across as a genuinely nice guy off it. I think he...

Norton-Cuffy was very raw when he was with us but when I saw him play for the under 21's last Summer he looked at a completely different level.

He must have scored a few but the only 1 I remember was one that he knew little about after it smacked him in the face and rebounded into the net. It might have been at Blackpool, but not absolutely sure.

Not many of Viks goals were headers!

Why can't we have both (as long as its not O'Nein!)?

but if that person is the difference in getting you promoted or not you, will have benefited by getting 100k more than you otherwise might have done.

I get that, I just think if its at all possible then signing Wilson is a no brainer. Our squad is strong enough that he wouldn't have to play every minute of every match, so our existing strikers would still get plenty of game time, but he would bring a more clinical edge in front of goal than...

If only it were that simple :rolleyes:

If people wanted us to sign Bamford I don't understand why they wouldn't want Wilson, who is and has been a much better player. I've no idea if it is feasible to sign him, but if we didn't it would be really galling if he went to another Championship club until the end of the season and tore it up.

I wonder what fee they would take for Hughes now?

It will be a real boost if we sign this lad and Esse. It means we don't have to flog Sakamoto & EMC into the ground as we have been in danger of doing, and can make dynamic changes from the bench when needed, that should give us much needed energy as the season grinds to a conclusion.
