King's replacement (1 Viewer)

I would love King to stay but have resigned myself to the fact that he is going now and therefore started to think not just about strikers, but the type of striker that we need. In my opinion anything in our budget would be a gamble and I can't think of anyone better than someone we already have at the club.

Not Eastwood, Platt or O'Dononvan, but Sheffers. In this formation and with the work that Juke does to create space, I can't think of a better option. I'm sure with a regular run through the middle he would score plenty. He doesn't have that yard of pace but he is clever enough and experienced enough now to get around that and he is proven at this level.

If I'm honest I don't think he ever worked back hard enough in midfield but to expect him to, takes something away from his game. Make him 'the man' and find him. If we create enough chances like we were at the end of the season I'm confident he can put them away. It also affords Baker a run in his favoured position in behind the front two.

Does anyone agree?

We're definitely short and I would like another. In fact as I would happily see Eastwood, the luckless R O'D and Plattini all leave I think we need two more at least. I woudl like to have seen a big, young back up for Juke (like Gary Madine who is now at Wednesday) and someone with pace to offer us options. A premier league loan would be where I was targeting but who kows what AT has lined up.
