Steve Watts Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 If and when the Gayle deal falls through, maybe we could go for Tom Bradshaw at (likely) a fraction of the price...he managed to net a hat trick against Championship opposition tonight, continuing his form from last year....Gotta be worth a shout, surely... I know forwards shouldn't be a priority at the moment over strengthening other positions, but as we're clearly in the market for one... Happy to be shot down for talking rubbish if you think I am!

eric04 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I was about to post the same observation. I haven't seen enough of Bradshaw to know what sort of forward he is. I notice another favourite of OTIB, Bradley Dack scored again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Do we actually NEED another striker though FFS? Bradshaw is an out and out foward isnt he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Never impressed me when I saw him play; rather play Agard once he's fully fit. Gayle is a player capable of scoring in the Premier League; not sure this lad has that type of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Do we actually NEED another striker though FFS? Bradshaw is an out and out foward isnt he? I think so to be honest....it's good to have four decent forwards, and if it's true that we've bid for Gayle then Cotts & Burt obviously think we do at the very least. As I said though we do need strengthening elsewhere as a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHRIDGE BCFC Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Been saying this for ages. He'd be a cracking signing and great value for money. Can't believe anyone seriously thinks we don't need another striker. Another defender, maybe even 2, a midfielder and striker and i'd be happy enough.

Engvall's Splinter Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 hmmm if you say so.. Id be more concerned about the midfield but there you go Not saying I'm not concerned. Ideally we require another centre half (preferably with pace), competition for Joe Bryan, a centre midfielder to challenge Smith and Pack whilst I do believe we need a forward. A forward may not be high on the list it if someone like Bradshaw is available at the right price then get him in. I don't buy the shout that we must avoid signing a player who would challenge/improve our current front two, so we can purchase a midfielder.

Lrrr Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Bradshaw, Woods, Dack and a CB. Look to get a LB on loan depending on how bad Bryan's injury (wonder if we put a buy back price on Cunningham ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squire Dastardly Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 He is better value for money than Gayle though I think our defence is more of a worry at the moment. Maybe if they can be trained into getting organised, Bradshaw would be a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Sighted him 18 months ago as being a great prospect and hopefully a target. I must admit I was a bit miffed that we bought Agard instead, but I fully trust our management team as they know a hell of a lot more than any of us supporters.

Wanderingred Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Let's go for this. A realistic target, young player, wouldn't cost much, great potential and I'm sure would love to come here. We aren't at the stage where we can attract the likes of Gayle and Lingard yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 With Gayle and Michael Owen I just don't see where he would fit in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.C.F.C TONY Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'd rather have him than 6-8 million on Gayle gayle would be a great signing but I feel we need to sort the rest of the team out first need a commanding cb a holding midfield player a left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Let's just sign players if they scored tonight, eh? As I posted in the Gayle thread we shouldn't ever consider signing Dack after his court case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I think that if we can't look up and sign any players, we'll be looking down. Either way, we'll make improvements to our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 SC won't have needed to see that Bradshaw scored a hatrick, against what was probably a reserve team, last night to know if he is interested in him. He was playing in the same division as is last season so he will be fully aware of him. I would think that if there was interest then we would already have tested Walsall's reserve with an offer. So I suspect he is not on the wish list, or at least not near the top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talk Of The Town Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Could we not take a punt on this lad? Would 1-2 million buy him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 He's not the one I want. Prolific he may be in the lower divisions but I'm not confident that he can make the step up. He doesn't strike me as especially fast and I believe that he has a long term problem concerning his hamstrings which forces him to miss matches. He didn't impress me at all in the (albeit two) matches I saw him play last season. It's a "no" from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citywest30 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Not this again. It would be such an anti-climatic signing after Gayle and Gray. He would also not add to what we have in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
