If zohore gets injured We're left with just ward maybe pilks, even if warnock has said that we dont need another doesn't mean he doesn't want another for strength in depth, and i agree gestede wasn't the greatest with us but players do improve so you cant judge what he was like with us before, if that was the case wilfried zaha would be in league 2 cuz he was shite for us.

If you think that Warnock wants another striker why in God's name doesn't he try to bring one in or could it be Tan has told him enough is enough

Zaha played in a very poor Cardiff team, was far from being our worse player but seemed to be the scapegoat often.

Where the parent club would want him involved , in every game.
If we bought a striker and paid a fee or even a free, it would cost wages again only to sit on the bench . So that would be another waste of resources.
If any other player comes in , it would be a central midfield player that's where I think we are weakest, but we still need to shift at least four players on, before that happens .
All in all , I think were good to go.
Goalkeepers are good enough,
Defence when all fit , I think is very good.
Midfield , any two from Gunnar,Ralls and Damour. Keep O'Keefe (can't see that) this is where we need cover.
Strikers one up front with Zohore, if he's injured we would have to change that to two up top.

True but if we dont have anyone to really challenge zohore for a starting spot complacency could kick in, anyone remember bothroyd after his England cap?

Ward - seems to be played more out wide than up front. He will work hard and be a nuisance, he will probably set a few up, but he certainly isn't a 20 goal a season striker. I will be surprised if he gets double figures.
Healey - currently injured but came on leaps and bounds for us and hopefully, he can continue improving and be a useful squad player. Seems to know where the back of the net is as well and he is still an unknown quantity who could surprise a few opposing defenders.
Meite - I watched him at Taffs Well, he looks a powerful athlete who will give 100%, but he has an awful lot to learn...with everything really. Needs to be loaned out to a League 2 club for a season so he can learn, improve and bring his game on.
Pilkington - if he stays, he currently seems our best backup option to Zohore. He has so much ability and forged a successful partnership with Lex Immers. He also showed when we won at Wolves 3-1 that he can lead the line very well on his own. I prefer Pilkington more central to on the wing anyway, he has 2 good feet and good enough body strength to hold defenders off, plus he can be a decent outlet running the channels. I think when he plays further forwards, he can focus more on what he's good at and be more of a goal threat.
