update on all the strikers we been linked with so far and if there is genuine interest or not according to EG

So in summary...

Aneke - Unlikely, not fit enough often enough
Mullin - Maybe but not top of the list at the moment
Ikpeazu - Wycombe don't need to sell and we don't want to pay too much
Lafferty - He's rubbish and everyone knows it so no-go
Gregory - Not on our list
Vokes - Probably not on our list, at least for now
Taylor - Fee and wages too expensive, questions over attitude, unlikely
Windass - Would like but would demand £2m we don't want to pay and wants to stay at Wednesday
Kayode - Too young, too expensive
Smith - We want but we'll wait until valuations between clubs narrow, sounds like we're confident we'd get him if things change
Diedhiou - Too expensive, nothing doing until he stops being daft about his wages
Wyke - Warnock's had a look and isn't interested
Delap - Possible target in the late window but will have plenty of clubs after him
Kaba - Watched by Jepson, we don't want him

So Smith is naturally the most likely on that list with a couple of others we'd like but won't pay daft money for.

Thats a mad article, they pretty much say we either dont want or wont get everyone we have been linked with

There's a lot of talk about things being too expensive and that could change. Could even be part of the reason the paper has found themselves in a position to actually confirm or deny the position of the club on so many players at once.

"but Warnock is targeting experienced strikers capable of leading the club back to the Premier League this summer."

The linked list suggests otherwise...Akpom's probably a better player than most of the strikers in that article and I'd rather us just give Coburn more games than spend money on mediocre strikers like Michael Smith

Where's BoroLad 1876 when we need him😉

You keep kicking him out, remember? 😁

 

But don't worry...I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of him...

According to this dosnt look like we'll be signing any strikers

Yep - either Warnock's not keen on them, or their wages / transfer fees are deal breakers. 😟

None are anywhere near PL quality...or even top 6 Championship quality.

Which would be a real issue if it weren't for the fact Boro are about mid-table quality in every position...not just strikers.

There’s definitely business to be done in the free-agent market. Quite a few on that list I like the look of. 

Quite a few good names on paper...but the list thins down an awful lot when you consider many of them are 30+ and/or will have fairly hefty wage demands.

Berardi, Bamba, Besic, Lansbury, Wilshere, Mpanzu, Hoilett and Ameobi jump out at me.

I know Warnock said he wanted to make 8 or 9 signings, but given the on-again, off-again Bolasie saga, I think we're going to struggle to make half that.

With you on this LBP, if all we can afford is journeymen forwards from the lower divisions, let’s keep the money in the bank and give our own young players a chance. We should have enough experience in the squad to avoid relegation especially when tied in with some Prem loans, and the next season may be completely different especially with Warnock leaving. Let’s be honest the odds of gaining promotion next season are pretty slim

Why are some people on here so desperate to write off a season? Smith is nowhere near the journeyman or poor player he's described as on here
