really, really stupid if another striker doesn't come in by Sept 1st.
It only needs an injury to Josh & we are left with just Novak to pay up top - neither KAG or RFH are good enough at this time to fill that hole imo. Added to the fact that Novak is looking for a move & may be a bit disgruntled if he's still here & maybe wont put in the shift needed - and I'm not even going to mention if Novak is good enough to fill Big Josh's boots.........
KAG is more a wide fella, but have we seen enough of RFH to be sure? He's young though. Not that that always matters.
Devante Cole could be a bit of a modern day Darren Bent I think. He could really prosper with a step up in quality.
The risk is he's more of a Marcus bent.
His genes are certainly pretty decent ( though he is a totally different striker to his old man) and he certainly is very rapid over the ground. He'd be more of a punt than Grigg but also probably wouldn't be expecting to play every game so could be a better fit st the moment. Can also play wide.
Interesting option if we went for him however 2 weeks ago I was told Grigg was our prime target

Think he'd be a good signing. Not prolific, but a bit tricky. Has the pace to trouble teams last 10-15 minutes but also think he could play up front on his own if need arose. He's the type of player you take a punt on in this league. For third choice center forward five days before the window closes, might be worth it.
Was thinking about Jordi Hiwula, who came through the City academy at the same time and has also bounced around the lower leagues, alas is on loan at Fleetwood.

Blow getting someone like Darren Bent. Let's just sign the man himself!
Can't see the sense in Grigg being our main target. Why would they want to sell to a potential promotion rival? If they did it would only be for a big fee.
Interesting clip on Fergie. I remember in the spring of 68/69 when we were challenging for promotion, the Evening Standard or the Evening News carried a story that we were interested in signing George Graham from Arsenal for £80,000. In the event, we purchased the 33/34 year old Ray Crawford from Ipswich for the more Gliksten-like outlay of £10,000.

If we had signed Fergie, perhaps it would have Charltonised him, and his managerial career would have been more Karel Fraye
Reams keeps talking about Louis Moult of Motherwell. Tbf he looks pretty decent
Went straight from a successful season in the Conference Premier to a successful season in the Scottish Premier League, which probably says something about the quality of Scottish football!

But we do need another striker anyway.

Coming from Scotland they shouldnt demand anywhere near £1m either
