p_mards 1,363 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Lyndon Dykes and Sam Cosgrove stand out as likely alternatives to Kiefer Moore. We’re clearly after a target man so then two would fit the bill. Livingston apparently turned down a bid for Dykes from an unnamed Championship club other than Barnsley yesterday so it wouldn’t surprise me if that was us.

With the best will in the world nobody who has watched us this season or last can say Fletcher or Britt can play a lone striker role. I do get that but Moore's record doesn't speak to him being all that tried and tested in the role, surely there are more affordable alternatives Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Just now, Will said: I agree, if it was Gnanduillet or one of the lads from Scotland that have been mentioned I think they'd be here already. Look down the leagues and objectively 'better than Moore' isn't really available for our budget, look in our league and James Collins is in his last year at Luton but I don't see him being the one. Could be pure coincidence that an unnamed Championship club put a bid in for Dykes last weekend or we used Barnsley as a stalking horse. There's a 6 foot 3 striker in Ligue 2 on the books of Neil's favourite foreign agency Ibrahim Sissoko but that would seem like a bit too much of a punt. Just speculation from me though.

Old Codger 3,039 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I'll start worrying when I see links to Gary Martin Link to post Share on other sites
CWC 383 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 At this stage I really cannot see why we are not looking very closely at Chris Martin. He’s a different type to Britt and Fletch and more in the mould of Moore. There would be no fee involved and I’d guess would be wanting similar terms to Moore. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,398 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) I'd be happy with Sam Cosgrove but for the fact he's injured. Probably not the most popular up at Aberdeen right now after being part of the pub scandal. Aberdeen tried to sell him for £2m earlier, but he wouldn't move to China. Yorkshire lad, so Middlesbrough shouldn't put him off too much. Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Chill out lads, its not like we are missing out on superstars. I remember the days when we were trying to sign players like Batistuta and Roberto Carlos. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Last night whilst waiting for my son to finish training I was looking at whoscored and there are very few, if any strikers available with a decent scoring record that has the physicality and mobility / work ethic we need. Gnanduillet is older than Moore, less mobile and basically a lamppost. I dont necessarily think a stellar goalscoring record is vital. Someone made a point about Firmino earlier in the week. He is in single figures but without him Liverpool arent as good. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, nowadays we’re getting turned down by the likes of Kieffer Moore because he has a better option than us 😆 Link to post Share on other sites

Warnock has already said that this squad has no leaders so the likelihood is we will be bringing in a couple of older/seasoned Championship players like Grant Hall. Link to post Share on other sites
