Cardiff will have to deal with it if they don’t add a striker.

[North Cardiff Blue]

in your opinion.

It looks like it is, there does seem to be a real shortage this year, every tem is looking for a Striker, the problem is we really need one!

[Citizen's Nephew]

Maybe Collins could make himself useful whilst he's injured and recommend someone from Bundesliga 2 (other than Glatzel).

it'd be bloody funny if he already has......suggested Glatzel.

[2b2bdoo]

Sam Surridge of Forest?

Yeah, he wanted him before and they will probably sign another load of players before deadline.

[Rjk]

I wonder if we paid Spurs the full £500k for Etete up front? If we did and we hadn’t have signed him there’d be £10k a week + for a year to go towards the wages of an out of contract experienced striker. Would that have been a better option than taking a punt on an untried, could be a hit or a miss Etete? We need someone now not the ‘he’s one for the future’ option.

which striker bare we going to get for 10k a week that improves us?

[splott parker]

I didn’t say £10k a week, I said £10k+. Seeing as we’re supposed to be looking at strikers, you’d like to think that there is a weekly wage in mind. If we hadn’t signed Etete this weekly wage (that we have in mind) would be added to the £10k.

Callum Paterson on loan from Sheff Wed.

Okay, don't jump all over me, but is there any reason why we can't play Ojo in the middle, as a striker?

[Former Labour leader]

Okay, don't jump all over me, but is there any reason why we can't play Ojo in the middle, as a striker?

Good shout. Certainly has an eye for a goal as we know from his previous spell here. Would certainly have put away those one 2one chances Watters missed.

[John Buchanan]

Okay, don't jump all over me, but is there any reason why we can't play Ojo in the middle, as a striker?

Not really. But if it's Watters, Harris, Ojo or Bojo, they are unlikely to score without better balls played through the middle. So let's play Colwill more central please.

[Colin'sReversibleHat]

Surely Hugill or Surridge will end up out on loan and probably Archer.

Issue with players of this ilk, especially Surridge and Hugill for definite, is they’ll be on more than the 12k a week we’re willing to pay, and there’s almost certainly a good few teams in the Championship who will be willing to contribute more than 12k a week towards their wages. So unless we break the bank, which I can’t see, there’s no chance of them coming.

Always worth a go, surely sending out Whyte, Sang, Watters or Harris would help. We paid it last season. I get we need to watch the wages but if we are going to splash the wages it was always going to be on a striker and a season long load isn’t a huge financial long term concern.

I completely agree with you, we need to be going all out to get anyone we can who scores goals at this level. I’m just not convinced the board, or maybe even Morison as well, think that way.

We're not going down. We're changing our playing style. We have lots of youngsters learning the game. This season is about transition.

Is that you saying that or have you been reading morisons diary ?

[Colin'sReversibleHat]

We're not going down. We're changing our playing style. We have lots of youngsters learning the game. This season is about transition.

I’d also argue we’ve got a really good chance of pushing for the playoffs if we get this bit of recruitment right- surely we’re ‘in it to win it’, as it were? No point playing every week for mid table mediocrity is there?

We haven't got a chance of making the playoffs. This is going to be a mid table mediocrity transitional season.

I’m really really glad you’re not giving the pre-match team talks.

[Eric the Half a Bee]

I’m really really glad you’re not giving the pre-match team talks.

I say it how I see it. This is a season where we're building for the future. Get behind the kids. We've got some talented youngsters at the club. We haven't got any money either. We're trying to build a football club that's sustainable.

Come on Vinnie on your lavish lifestyle £2k a week isnt going to hurt you. Stiff upper lip lad

[Bald Barry Bastad]

I don't buy this shit that Etete was bought as a project. You don't spend 500k on a striker we need now on someone who maybe good in a few years. I think the club has been had.

I don't think we have been had at all.
it's less than we paid for Watters or even Omar Bogle, at that price you obviously aren't getting the finished article.
he did ok in league 2 and then league 1 last season, and is still only 20, the same age as Chanka Zimba, and has moved into a side that isn't making many chances and he's had less than 1 match worth of minutes.

far far too early to be writing him off

I'm not writing him off. The recruitment team have done a tremendous job all summer to build this team. I don't buy for one second that the only money they spend, the final piece of the jigsaw is actually a project that could come good in a few years. Don't buy it at all.

he could still contribute this season, he's only played 75 minutes for us in the league and we've hardly been a potent attacking force in that time.
he has a very interesting profile, fairly unusual for a striker with some obvious areas for improvement, but that doesn't mean we won't find a way to get something good out of him this season
