Quality Striker/Quality Midfielder

That is what we are crying out for. That will be the difference between us challenging for promotion or having a mid table finish.

We have done nothing in the transfer market so far really, and if it stay that way it is a disgrace by slade and tan, show some ambition and go for it and sign these players.

Slade seems to be turning things around in other areas with our style of play and getting the players geling together as a team and working hard for the cause but all we are missing now is that bit of quality in them areas

I thought whitts and Dikgacoi played well also pilkington ran and ran and created lots. Ralls looked ok but better in the middle ameobi should be on other wing. But agree with striker issues. Mason worked hard but lacked quality finish

Ralls looks like the long term ready replacement for Whitts! I don't see why we can't rotate these two and have Ameobi out wide as he would probably offer a lot more than Ralls.

A striker like Gestede and a midfielder like Adyemi :bluebird:

As long as Slade is our manager, you simply won't get you're wish,a wish I totally support, Slade doesn't do quality, his signing of Revell proves that

Definitely need a midfielder and pacey striker

Neither, we need pace.

Adeyemi would have been perfect. In all fairness Digjakoi when fit could prove a success but we are short on quality in midfield to help out him and Ralls. Oh for a swashbuckling midfield general with grit, vision, power and pace; lots and lots of pace!

Get Joey Barton in, perfect fit for what we need

Fully agree there. Id say with marshall our keeper,defense,wingers,holding midfielder in dikhachoi or gunnar,number 10 role striker in mason, all of that is good enough for a promotion winning team, we are just missing a goalscorer alongside mason and a box to box midfield general, if we get them in we are a dangerous side.

Its now over to slade.

Quality players cost money and it dont seem like we're going to spend any this summer. If Marshall goes hopefully some of that will be used on transfers

I don't normally do postscripts to my postings but I have to respond to KBK laughable posting regarding Kennedy being a quality signing by Slade...2 points to be made,first of all,even if true,its still only one signing, and then you have to ask yourself, why doesn't Slade play him

Dico is like a new signing, he looked a good player considering his lack of football and match fitness. He put a new neat balls through and I think can add that extra creativity we've been lacking. We've been relying to heavily on whitts for basically everything from midfield
