    At the moment we have nothing , he's likely to be cheap , he tries , can head a ball ,has scored goals in the Premiership, something our strikers cannot deliver .

    Cornelius and Gestede up front sounds good, with Madine tucked in just behind them

    Keep Eoin Doyle and Alex Revell on the bench in case we fail to score more than 5 a game.

    He has probably eaten it.

    Let's get this straight - Gestede has 51 Premier League appearances as both starter and sub, mainly because he's rarely been good enough to hold down a regular starting role. In those 51 appearances, he's scored 7, including 2 in the 16 appearances for Middlesbrough.

    Last season he managed an impressive 4 goals from 20 appearances at Championship level for a side in and around the playoffs all season.

    His stats are hardly great. One good season with Blackburn masks over several seasons of utter mediocrity. You can hardly be surprised people are taking the piss.

    He's scored 6 more , than more than any of our strikers

    I would expect Ward and Zohore (if KZ's head is functioning) to have netted more than that after a similar number of performances in this division.

    He has a point.

    There could be many reasons why he hasn't set the world alight, not just that he cant hack it, and the stats don't always tell the story.

    I always thought it was a mistake to offload Rudy anyway as he wasnt earning much and had shown some potential I'm the limited chances he was given here.

    If he was cheap and within our wage structure, then he'd get my vote.

    In fact a straight swop for Zohore would ve good business, even if we had to give Boro few grand too 🤣

    On current form, yes, which is a shame.

    Re: Rudy Gestede ?

    Premiership experience and game time count for a lot , we have very little of that in the squad.

    In the games I saw him play he looked dangerous and not out of place ,he certainly created opportunity for other's by his physical presence , and just looked all round more intrested and capable than Ken does,and thats what were comparing, its not a long term answer to our problems up front , I just wonder what 7 goals would do to our season.

    I agree that 7 goals would do wonders.

    I don't think Gestede on his form in more recent seasons would get close to 7 goals. I reckon Ward has more potential to score more.

    Yes Ward looks good ,dreadful injury luck though , always felt he could have scored a few last year with a decent first team run ,

    What news on his injury?

    Is Zohore on International duty?
