Uche Ikpeazu?

[Shrewsbury Blue]

Looking at his matches he's very strong and doesn't look slow to me. If he can occupy one or two of the central defenders he can make room for others even if he ins't that prolific himself.

I'm not as against this move as others.
I think we look a lot better with Kieffer Moore in the side than harris/Collins, but not only because of his goal threat, he's a much better focal point than the other options. Ikpeazu could give us at least some other options in that respect.

But it never really works. The idea that one hard working but low scoring centre forward occupies the central defenders to such an extent that other players fill their boots with goals never really happens in practice. We play with so few up front it would be a recipe for disaster.

Do we only play with so few upfront though because the ones we have aren't strong enough to hold the ball up?

it isn't a hill I'm going to die on as I'm certainly not looking for a return to route one football, but It might not be as bad a signing as it being made out, for that kind of money. If only as an option from the bench.

One interesting thought - what if this is as well as Kieffer instead of as a replacement.

Moore and Ikpeazu in the middle, Colwill or Davies in behind with Giles and Drameh providing the crosses.
