JoeAman08 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 As long as we are finding a way to get results I don't see a reason to change things. 5 games ago I would've said we needed a striker because we couldn't score but we are now and generally defending very well. No need to rock the boat at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 This current side is still in need of quality additions With Gladwin gone Lee can bring two in before window closes Hope he does I favour an attacking goal scoring midfielder as a priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Imagine we might move for someone losing Gladwin; delighted Reid has once again started in a winning team, but would like an experienced option in there. Also; if Smith is out for any time, may need cover there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I don`t think it`s a priority anymore. I don`t see the need to spunk loads on some journeyman when the remaining loans we have available could be better used in other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Not sure it is a striker we need, but would certainly be helped out by attacking midfielders that scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchers Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yes. We do need a striker. We still find it hard to score from open play. If anything happens to Kodjia or Flint we will find it very difficult. Our Championship survival should'nt be based on hoping to keep those two players fit .

Agard and Wilbs, Wilbs and Tomlin, Tomlin and Agard, they're all combinations that could work. If this did happen then I only really see us getting a back up player for those we already have, or we'd get Wes back. That would seem to me to be the best option ATM. The loan window`s open till the end of March anyway and we should be all but safe by then. If we did get anyone in, I think it should be a player we`re looking to sign permanently in the summer TBH.

TV Tom Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Only 5 players in this division have scored more than JK, that includes top players like Hernandez, Wells, Grey and McCormack, bear in mind the fact that JK doesn't take penalties it is a tremendous return for his first season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Now that we are starting to look safe, what is the point of bringing in extra players? The squad we have is perfectly adequate for the rest of the season, then we can look to improve it in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New team,Country, League and most of all language. When we signed him I doubt anyone would have expected him to play as much as he has , or for such a good return, lets not forget it's been in a struggling team for much of the time as well. If things continue to go well maybe we don't NEED a striker, but an option would be good and I think if JK did get injured we could have a goals drying up. Matt Smith is an interesting one. While I didn't think he would be the choice as our one loan to get goals now, with us making a better fist of things and if LJ is looking to replace Wilb's for next year then a Loan with agreement to buy may be an option. In fact I think if we have any targets not playing this year then I think it would be a good way to go , rather than getting someone fit for another team.

If they go down they`ll have to have a clearout but would look at him and see a player that`s done it in League 1. They`ve got no chance of keeping McCormick or Dembele so could see him as one to hang on to. I`d love him here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I think if we have any targets not playing this year then I think it would be a good way to go , rather than getting someone fit for another team. Even if he plays not a single minute more for Fulham this season, I do not see Matt Smith moving to us in loan. With Fulham having slipped below us after their loss to Boro yesterday, I cannot see the benefit to them of lending any help to a fellow relegation threatened team (which it is clear they are if we still are). I don't buy the concept we couldn't afford his wages, as come next year and our increased capacity I think we'll be competitive on that front, and I personally think he would be an asset at this level to us, and I also think the successful spell he had at the club last year would be a real bonus in trying to persuade him to move here. However; it would be foolish to the point of negligence by his current club to let him go right now to us. Better wait until summer when they'll be desperate to sell and shift players off the wage bill in order to avoid sanctions again, and to allow the new man to build. I cannot see Smith wanting to stay another season there when he will obviously once again be a 4th or 5th choice striker, and what with his former manager now at the helm here, as well as many players he knows, I think that if we are still in this league we'd be a good option for him.
