Russell Slade Today Speaking to the Press

New Striker
We are confident we will bring someone in.
We’ve looked at the Championship and the Premier League.
We don’t have long list. It’s a short one in terms of an emergency loan list.
We would like a striker in before the Burnley game that’s for sure.

Indeed. I'm going to convince myself that we are signing Lee Trundle purely so I can be pleasantly surprised with whoever we sign

If its an emergency loan we wont have whoever it is for very long though will we?

93 days! problem is we get long term loan what happens to our injured strikers? no game time after jan!

Word on the street is it's Tokelo Rantie, i'd be happy as the guys an absolute menace.

I hope so because i like the look of him aswell.

Rantie? His goal record is shocking though. It's a no thanks from me.

That means we are getting him then Slade has an eye for shit strikers

yeah me too really, though he gets my support if we sign him.


Not sure why people think hes the answer to our problems either.

Hes got pace.

He's never been given a run in any team he's played in, trust me lads, this guy is lightning white and will score a few.

All about delivery so as long as our wingers play nice balls into the box then Tokelo will finish !!

Its only my opinion but I want a mobile striker who scores goals now, not one for the future or one that runs a lot in all the wrong places or one with no pace to get in the right place quick enough or one that blast everything over the bar from 6 yards or we just as well recall one of our loans .

if hes never been given a run in any team hes played in, then what have you seen that makes you think he will score a few?

How can we get an emergency loan striker when we have loaned out 4 strikers (Revel,Healey,Doyle and Le Fondre) and given a free transfer to Guerra?

I agree, we need someone with a proven record that can hit the ground running otherwise we'll be no better off.

We did in Alf and look how that turned out.

He didn't hit the ground running though, another who didn't want to be here that's why I said that otherwise we'd have never loaned him out in the first place. He was proven yes but his head was not right here. He needed to move North he said but an hour and half up the road is hardly North is it.

But the way Slade sets up defensively we'll be lucky if Messi scores in our team.

Him not having his head in the right place doesn't wash with me if he can do well at Reading then he can do well anywhere.

Does anyone else feel tha Rantie is not a good choice.
We need a proven, a talisman who can run and score and whip up the
Players and the fans.

A sub for a championship side just promoted is not the answer

I've been told he is coming by someone who is extremely Good friends with one of the players.. Looks like we have just got him for his pace because his goal scoring record isn't great.. Much rather we try everything to get Grabban.. Proven at this level
