    This year is exciting for our front line. Taylor is set to take the league by storm. Mags is settled in and this will be his year. KAG and RHF will be raring to go. Bowyer is the rigjt man to get the best out of them.

    I’d like to see Magennis alongside Taylor, with Igor out I don’t see a better option at the moment.

    Playing as a lone striker doesn’t suit him. He’ll be at his best in a partnership where the other striker is the main goal threat. Robinson’s slow build up play and reliance on wide players to score wonder goals again didn’t help either. Clarke was the only player who had any consistency playing in behind him, so he didn’t have any sort of partnership with the “number 10” after that point.

    I’m not making excuses for his poor finishing but if he goes I won’t be surprised if another club gets more out of him.

    It feels a bit like when we sold Iwelumo. He was seen as a 10 goal a season striker, not good enough, donkey and so on. Look how that season ended.

    The title winning season wouldn’t have happened without Yann either. A decent target man should get 10 goals or so and add strength/height both up front and when defending set pieces. That’s something you won’t get from any other striker in the squad.

    I’m not a fan of Magennis, but to back up your argument .... Olivier Giroud. World Cup winning centre forward. Zero World Cup goals. I rest your case.

    Big Joshie - Decent for this level, would be hard to replace. Definitely not the main striker and wont get enough goals whatever system, but would be a good partner for Taylor this year if we can keep them together or even as a Wide forward/ Winger where he plays for Northern Ireland would be useful.

    Keep but wouldn't be end of world if he leaves and replaced well.

    So that’s keep then, as he wouldn’t be replaced well if he left

    If Magennis was to leave then he simply has to be replaced. Taylor, Ajose and Grant won’t be strong enough in depth and who knows when Igor will play again, if he even does.

    Replacing him with someone of equal ability won’t be cheap or easy. For me it makes far more sense to hold onto him.

    I would still like to see a decent Prem loan up front as well.

    I think the club will sell him. We can use the wages elsewhere

    Oh yeah international strikers are queuing round the block to play for disfunational, in takeover limbo, low paying Charlton Athletic.

    Vetokele wont play for us again. The “injury” will stretch out until the January Transfer window. He will end up on loan in Belgium until the end of the season and then leave at the end of his contract.

    So your saying the takeover isn’t happening then ? How about he comes back from injury early scores a heap of goals and signs a new contract with us back in the championship with new owners.

    Igor won’t be out till December I had facia plasmta ( can’t be arsed to check spelling) I over trained for referee fitness test on grass running track and tore mine it’s due to over excersiving igor has done to much running looking at his Instagram. It’s like a stabbing pain in your heel when you put pressure on it. I changed to cycling to keep fit and then done referees fitness test just before season started fine. It’s caused by having high arches on your feet.you need inersols to support your feet. So for me igor is keen to have a good season to secure a new contract or a good next move in his career. Hope he smashes goals in all season. Aussies take over and give him a new contract be nice to see our best players playing for us not someone else.

    With the greatest respect. The levels of fitness you needed to achieve and what will be necessary for Igor are two totally different things. Also not all tears are the same. He already hasnt had a full pre season and when he finally does get back training he will still be weeks off. If we see Igor before Christmas it will be a bonus.

    Martin posts on here.

    He's reporting what Bowyer said last night.

    Not sure why that was worth a flag.

    I must be thinking of a different Martin, apologies.
