Vassell could be a good signing - been very unlucky with injuries so his record looks poor, but he has pace and could still become a very effective striker. But I don't understand why Warnock is so insistent that another attacking player is the priority and that he is prepared to stick with the current CM and RB options if he can get one. It feels as if we are looking at the wrong part of the pitch.

He also went out of his way before Wigan to talk up Ralls, Bacuna and Madine - saying how happy he was with them and they have come back better players. I hope he's right. The performance at the DW didn't give me confidence that CM and No 9 options are sorted (though hopefully Robert Gratzel will be a success)
