Reid will be number one striker this season and I can see tomlin playing in the hole
I’m more concerned about centre midfield than up front tbh
We have bacuna vaulks and ralls that’s it we need minimum of 2 more in those positions
We may not have the best strikers in the world but we have 4 still after offloading two
Ward
Boyle
Madine
That Irish lad forgot his name
Personally as I said if tomlin is playing to well not to start Bobby will play up top with tomlin in behind and Patto on the bench to replace either of them and a striking option still as well
If the money is there then of course I’d love a striker but I think money needs to be spent in midfield first few injuries and we are fucked in midfield

None of those strikers are good enough and I include Reid in that if he is played upfront in our system, he will be totally lost.
Need a minim of 2 strikers in my opinion.

I agree I’d like a good forward but people have short memories we got promoted with Paterson up front
We got promoted malky time with top scorer of 8 or 9 goals who again wasn’t a striker
As I’ve said I’m more concerned about having 3 players who can play between Dm/Cm and two of those most people do not rate that highly championship you need a minimum of 5 players that can play in those two positions to cover injuries and suspension just about personally I feel 5 and a fringe or younger player is needed to be absolutely sure
We may not have good enough strikers but we at least have strikers we don’t have anywhere near enough midfields and it’s a massive concern for me
I want two Cm in before we even think about a striker cos if that midfield 3 ain’t working we won’t be anywhere near the top end of the league

The same players who replaced him last season would be my guess. I'd have put anyone willing to head the ball up top before Zahore.
On his day he was great but lets face it...he was not on his day very often.
May have been injuries and may have been lack of confidence but no one can dispute the fact that his performances were pretty poor in general.

Who looked decent upfront last season then?
As far as I can remember the service was awful and everyone struggled upfront. Niasse probably fitted and got the team playing as well as they could and he never looked like scoring and won't be here.

I thought he was realesaed but perhaps I’m wrong
However he never featured under warnock last championship campaign don’t see that changing guess he could be the number 6 fringe player needed for injuries and suspensions then but we still need two more for Dom/Cm positions
