Mayenda is promising but isn't prolific enough maybe someone can back themselves to score more than him or be a different type to Isidor, so would you not sign anyone

I haven’t said I wouldn’t sign anyone. I’m merely asking who would come who would be better?
Connolly scored goals in the top flight and was thought as possibly the poacher to come off the bench but couldn’t get in, for example.
 
I’m going to assume because this thread hasn’t reached 1000 pages that he’s signing tomorrow.

It’s not a bad idea, at least until Mundle and Watson are fit. I think playing wing back would probably suit Cirkin and Hume

Cirkin is practically having to play as a wing back now due to the lack of width on the left. The lad is having to put some proper hard yards in. No wonder he's coming off knackered.

He’s better than both Connolly and Rusyn, so strengthens the squad. We need more than 2 strikers, should have 3 or 4 competing for places. Crazy to think otherwise.

We have Isidor, Mayenda and Abdullahi so will only add one more unless we go for another young forward to develop. Akpom would be a good choice as he has experience which we need for the closing games. Perhaps he wasn't interested but then Regis spoke with him and he likes his ideas. Would be a very good signing.

I don’t have a solution. For me, Isidor is our first choice with Mayenda as back-up and they are proven to work in our system.
I’m merely saying, who is going to loan us a player or which player is likely to come knowing they are probably going to at least start on the bench?

How many games have we started two up-front?

You are exactly right. No one is going to loan us a young player to be a sub, and no decent established striker is going to want to come as a sub either.

The only real solutions are to *sign* (not loan) a young player or someone who walks straight into the team, and that one's not to happen.

Everyone playing one up front has made the striker position a lot like goalkeeper, very difficult have two top class ones.

It's not impossible but we're making it even more difficult for ourselves by trying to do it with loans.
