WE NEED ANOTHER STRIKER

Sat Aug 08, 2026 1:53 pm

We should have learned from last season not only salecs injury but rotation,
Robinson does not have 90 mins in his legs let alone 2 games a week ,
kellyman fitted just, but he may not come back and I think salec is not over his injury mentally.

Like a player after a broken leg they know what can happen going into a challenge and I still think that is still with salec watching his body movements.

Good job there's still time left in the transfer window then, especially as it's know that we want to bring in someone in that position.

Need the players to make better decisions? Same last season instead of obvious they try stupid things or don't make a pass at all when right decision could have led to a chance or goal even...willock just now tried to scor when better pass into middle with 3 city players there but a backup to salech is good idea

I agree we definitely need another striker. Salech isn't the brilliant striker most fans think he is but he has the potential to get better. He needs competition in that position which will hopefully push him on to improve and reach his potential.

I'm not sure I've heard him be described as a brilliant striker but he's certainly good for his age & will get better the more he plays. We have a few options up front already & I think we need better defenders first as they seem prone to go missing & then a striker if one becomes available.

I personally find Salech frustrating. He took his goal brilliantly yesterday but he then goes missing when crosses come into the box. There were a few examples yesterday and against Roma where he doesn't attempt to challenge for the ball in the penalty box especially in the air. He failed to connect on a couple of good low crosses from Tanner too.

I do agree that our defence needs strengthening, we conceded lots of sloppy goals last season in league one and at present we are going into this season in the championship with the same players.

Yes we need another striker but personally I think we should be looking at our defence rather then attacking
We need a Centre back more than a striker
We need a left back to cover Began (and not a wingback)
We need a Right back to cover NG as I don’t think Kpakio is a defender
We also need a defensive midfielder

Agree we need another striker - most clubs would have 4 strikers in their squad .

I think we have enough firepower up front. Goals will not be a problem, especially if we sign Kellyman. But we urgently need to beef up our defence. Marks out of 10 I would give our attack a 7 but our defence only a 4. With the players missing it looks incredibly flimsy.

We need a minimum, striker, defensive midfielder to replace wintle, center half and a full back for sure before this window shuts or we are in big trouble in my opinion .

Theres a few out there that may be suitable but its all about who BBM wants and who the club are willing to pay for :?:

I have no idea of market values for any of these just to be clear :lol:

Robbie Ure - IK Sirius

Max Dean - Gent

Lewis Koumas - Liverpool

Kwadwo Duah - Ludogorets

Phil Harres - Holstein Kiel

We definitely need another striker for this Championship season. Robbo as backup isn't enough.

Ure is going to Sevilla but I like the idea of Koumas, has the benefit that he can play out wide too.

Just seen the new Liverpool manager has said he's keeping Koumas in his squad this season.

Get Jason back for a third time.

The first season he was with us he was sublime.

Then Sam tried to pull a fast one on West Brom and get him on a free the following season but they wanted £500k and Sam didn't have a pot to piss in.
