redsince66 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 who is someone you think we can (relistically) get permanently to replace Agard? I personally feel we should have played him more on the right, that's where all his goals came from at Rotherham. Shame to see him go as he was a good bit of eye candy. Anyway, my top 3: 1. Will Grigg 2. Reuben Reid 3. Adam Le Fondre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red white and red Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Grigg wouldn't leave Wigan for us, is Reid championship standard? Probably not and le fondre hasn't done anything in 3/4 seasons. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarmyArmy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Lee Gregory Paddy Madden Perhaps the less obvious option of Caolan Lavery. Would hope to sign another striker as well as him, but not beyond the realms of possibility. Shocked to see people suggesting Nakhi Wells. A fantastic player no doubt, but would cost upwards of £8 million. Derby, Norwich and Wolves all linked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Whoever comes in will need to play second fiddle to Kodjia and Abraham most of the season barring combination of injury and ACON. That is going to be a difficult sell to anyone other than a young up and coming, bags of potential type of striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally would like to see another CB before a replacement for Agard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Remind me, why did we let Wes go to Aberdeen? We wouldn't need any replacement for Agard. Kodjia, Abraham, Wilbs, Burns, all coupled with Tomlin would be fine for our formation / style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the loan will do him the world of good and he can come back and challenge for a place but realistically he wouldn't get enough minutes here yet. I'd be more tempted to look for a right sided centre half before a striker, think a backup for Flint is more important at the moment. If we were looking for a striker, I would either look to sign a young Wilbraham type, big strong, who can learn from Wilbs over the season or loan another experienced striker at this level. Admittedly no ides come straight to mind but I'm sure LJ has some!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we couldn't guarantee Wes enough game time for him to develop, then we don't really require another striker in the squad at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbraham aside, who won't play that regularly, there's very little championship experience there. If we want to progress, we need experience and/or quality to supplement our forwards. Burns is better off playing regularly at a lower standard than being on the bench here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Skin Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Tammy A v Jay Kay. I like the option of both of those two if we are chasing a game like Saturday. I expect a bit more attacking from midfield. O'Dowda lightning quick on the break. Maybe another quick winger for the right coming in rather than a striker?

Wonder how soon the club are looking to progress further, i.e challenge for a genuine promotion shot. As it stands, our squad is not equipped for such a challenge (IMO), but if we stick until January, or even next summer, and we've established as a top 12 Championship club, then the calibre of forward player we can afford / attract will improve again, massively.

I agree, if progression is fast tracked so to speak, I can see Burns' opportunities limited further. For me, he's not championship standard yet and needs more composure and intelligence in his game - those things come from playing regularly which he will do this season. I think we will bring in another forward this summer, I can see it being a reasonably expensive one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be impressed if we did though, but unless they're something special, that player wouldn't be guaranteed a spot in the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 All this talk of Wells is silly. He'll cost just as much as we want to sell Kodjia for and why wouldn't he? Similarly struggling side, similar goal return, similar age and Wells has more experience in this league! If we are going to have another multimillion pound deal for a striker it'll most likely be one from Europe. Better value for money. I can't see buying any championship striker who's worth 10 goals or more. We'll have to gamble again if we want another top class striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to bring up the 'Smith" word again but I still feel that Matt Smith would be a good fit, he's big & strong & just what some of the posters are asking for.
