    I'm hoping on the striker front its just us keeping things close to our chests so we don't get gazumped like we did with Delort. I think i would rather they kept it quiet and we got the player we wanted/needded. If Tucudean is definitely going (i havent seen anything official so i may have just missed it) then they know they need reinforcements up front so i seriously doubt they are doing nothing.

    We need at least two more strikers this transfer window. At the start of the window we needed someone to take the pressure off Vetokele and a target man. We've signed Watt, who should be able to give Igor a break, but we still need that target man and we need another player in to replace George. Whether that player is a goalscorer, a creator or another lump doesn't really matter but we need bodies in. Vetokele, Watt and Church is not enough to stay clear of trouble. Not even close.

    Must have a replacement lined up? Or maybe we're planning to use Lepoint further forward if needed and think we can get by with Harriott, Moussa and Church as cover.

    can't we at least be linked with a target player/hold-up man just to get our hopes up.

    Yeah just saw that come through from 52 minutes ago. Really hope this announcement is closely followed by a "Breaking News, CAFC have signed" very shortly.

    Would be a fantastic signing if we pulled that off.

    someone on twitter saying we are in for Lazio's Serbian striker Filip Dordevic. Personally - not in a million years. But it would be pretty lovely

    Can't see a Serbian fitting into our squad : - )

    Well out of our league talent and pricewise.

    Shame it involves two promotion contenders as well though...
    Who? Only promotion contenders I. The are Bournemouth
    WAFC = Watford = Play-Off team
    Lol Watford aren't wafc. Wafc are Wigan - relegation candidates.

    Also on Twitter - Fulham lead the race for Chris Wood from Leicester.

    I hope we have thrown our hat into the ring. Similarly this will mean Matt Smith is surplus to requirements

    Yes, a good plan, let's go after the players from the teams who have made even bigger balls-up than we did... what could possibly go wrong?

    (Not aimed at you GJ.)

    Chris Wood would be a perfect signing for us. Sadly doubt it will happen.

    Wood to Huddersfield. Can't see the link myself but they need a striker since Holt got crooked.
