Reading @BartramBlitz 's Kanu post, and thinking about how he played against (mighty) Peterborough, I think he's worth trying in a two up top with May, in the absence of any other options. He showed real promise on Saturday when playing in that role.

I really like Kanu but he is 2nd striker who is better playing off a big striker so he and May prefer the same role. We're trying to making him target man but I don't think that is what he is.
We still need that centre forward. Humpheys, of all the names mentioned, is still the top pick for me but it seems likely that it will be Clive-Harris or a loan now
Tbh, would be happy with our current strikers for the rest of the season and investing in some proper wingbacks now. Then sort out the ST situation in the summer.
?? - we've only got 2 fit ones and the 2 that are injured are long term
Plus what we do have are not holding the ball up so not helping with our defensive issues. We need another at least

And if you're playing 2 up top, you need more than 2 fit strikers in the squad. One of Kanu or May gets injured or suspended, and we'll only have 1 striker left. At a minimum we need a replacement for Tedic.
Holmes to Luton and Stockton to Barrow. Shows how reasonable/unreasonable our transfer rumours have been. One completely out of our league and the other a one season wonder who would have stunk the place out.
Chatting to Chuks Saturday - he said he’s 2 or 3 weeks away
2 or 3 weeks away from training, which means end of February surely.
When interviewed earlier this month, Appleton said Chuks may be available around the end of January, so I would take it as 2 to 3 weeks from possibly making an appearance on the subs bench.
I think it went under the radar a bit, but in the same interview it sounded like Camara might be available sooner than we were expecting too and probably won't miss the whole season after all.
All this talk of Ladapo being the next Messiah and yet the Ipswich fans are offering to drive him over. They seem to rate him like we did Kirk I’m not a font of knowledge on players, but could anyone explain why our fans seem so desperate to get him. it was the same in August
I'd rather that we take the relatively "safe" option of a loan for the rest of the season rather than overpay for someone just so we can say that we've made a permanent signing (a la Griggs at Sunderland.)
That said there's still enough time that potentially someone in the mould of Ladapo does become available so hopefully there's more irons in the fire still.

Like the estate agents say, you're buying 'potential' - and he has the promise to become even better.
Much like Miles Leaburn.
May is already 30. And despite his current goals record, his age is considered against him.
Hence only £250k.

(I don't blame either of them).
Good shout , was linked to Dundee on loan last week and I wouldn't be surprised if Charlie Adam would like him at Fleetwood.
