Diamond, McGeady, Gooch and Hume all have good delivery.

Diamond is the only one out of that list who does it on a regular basis. McGeady rarely gets down the line. Gooch is improving in that area, but like McGeady, prefers to cut inside. I like Hume and think he has potential...but I wouldn't say he has a particularly good delivery on him at this stage of his career.

It's one thing we've lacked for a while. We've always had at least a couple of big strikers over the past few years, but we've never been able to play to their strengths. That includes Graham, for all his many faults. He was never going to be suited with the players we have available.
 
Don’t understand what people want - if a forward is in form, we won’t be signing them. If they had form recently, we’ll be overcharged and there’s no guarantee they’ll rediscover that form (see Grigg) so our best hope is to sign someone who plays at a decent level, can work well in our system and hopefully develop a player into becoming a good goal scorer and who knows, maybe even make some money!

Absolutely this! And let’s not forget salary is a massive issue for us. We are going to have to kiss a few frogs!

Gooch already has three assists from crosses this season despite mostly playing as a central midfielder. McGeady put a peach on Wyke's head the other night. Hume's delivery is on a par with Diamond's, both put in more balls that get cut out than reach their target.

You don't understand what people want?

someone who is quick or at least mobile,

have you not watched us for the last 10 years?
 
No thanks. Sounds like Wyke #2.

can we sign someone who at least hasn’t proven they aren’t a goalscorer?
 
He may be better than what we have but he isnt remotely the type of striker we need

we need someone who can get about the pitch
No we don’t we need someone who can bring the ball down and hold it up and someone who we can play off with balls into them until people have a chance to actually get up and support them if you play with 1 striker you need them to be a focal point not legging it about all ower the pitch

No we don't we need someone with legs who can get in behind an opposition defence, instead of just launching the ball to a target man every time.

Remarkable that some fans still dnt think we need pace upfront like, what have they been watching the last few years?
 
That Sancho bloke from Borussia Dortmund would get bagged on here if we put a bid in, FFS we're 10th? in the old division 3 and are have to cut our cloth to suit whether we like it or not ( and I don't ).
 
Probably better than Wyke, certainly in the air.

But as others have said, not the type to make a big difference.

Heard Johnson moaning about not enough players running behind like Grayson did. This won't fix that.
 
Looked on one of their forums and their fans do not rate him at all.....the abuse he gets is worse than we give Graham or Grigg.

I'm out.
