Ex-Forest and Wycombe striker called Taylor? Once bitten, etc...

5 days since Monk spoke to potential signings and said he would know in a day or two - not looking good so far . How many are left on his shopping list ? Maybe we are just not an attractive club to strikers with our record over the last two years and we can’t sell this years dream .

Maybe we are just not an attractive club to strikers with our record over the last two years and we can’t sell this years dream . The last few years have seen Mullin, Ironside, Smith and Ahadme all have the best seasons of their careers then move on to more money and bigger clubs (or at least a long contract close to home, in Ironside's case). We'll not be offering as high wages as maybe 75% of the division, but our record for strikers looking for a springboard has been excellent. Even Okenabirhie was doing well for goals, it was injuries that started before he joined us that did for him.

We are waiting to send a young player on a pre-agreed loan until we sign somebody, so I know the club is trying.
I know they’ve been very close to getting a forward in a couple of times in the last couple of weeks but for whatever reason it hasn’t happened.
Modern football I guess.

True and we are not looking for a fifth choice striker here they will be getting plenty of pitch time .

I've been told all of them want to sign for us after seeing the training ground.

I hope were not planning on loaning Brandon out as he has shown he should be in and around the 1st team squad now for keeps.

Probably Kaunda out first I'd think.
Depends how much Njoku is likely to play with Lavery, Loft and new guy in the team. If we're playing two up front then probably quite a lot, but if hes not going to play much my preference would always be a loan for a young player.
I'd hope he stays personally, I'm sure Monk has a better idea of what's best for him/the team though.

Surely there is a striker out there who would quite enjoy the attention of being a big fish in a small pond rather than sat as a no hoper 25th choice striker for a prem or championship team. Give them a real chance to shine. Got to be good for their parent club too surely if they do well and the player's value grows. Surely all parties benefit rather than a player languishing with no hope of first team football.
Am I sounding desperate enough.

Not in our league obviously (it's not a suggestion!) but I've thought the similar about someone like de Gea. He doesn't need to be on £££ after years of high earning, but a season at a smaller club being brilliant would surely be beneficial to his ego if nothing else. I fully understand not working if you don't have to, but...

This really does feel like last chance saloon stuff. Shopping in the clearance sale. Trying to pull in the kebab queue before home.
