Ah yes, the 2017 Thunderbastard. Good choice sir, a particularly exquisite vintage.

As I said, we probably aren't going to get someone as good as him. But if Tisdale thinks a couple of D'Aths/Harleys/Bowerys between now and August will suffice, we're going to struggle with goals next season.

Clearly we're not going to get another Chuks, but we do need to be signing a player that will excite fans when announced, that will make a big contribution next season and makes fans feel as though at least the club made a good attempt to fill that gap.


Can we afford that guy you’ve just described?

I would leave that to the club D50. I doubt anyone on here knows.

Assuming that that generous contract extension for Aneke that was turned down was being paid in GBP and not m&ms then I think it's safe to assume there's enough in the budget to bring in one player on a decent wage.

We’ve had plenty of good players in the past, Afobe, Griggs, Baker, Townsend to name just a few so why not again?

Sure. They were all loans. I agree that’s our best chance of someone that good.

I'll be amazed if Bowery isn't Chuks replacement. Or at least the part of the season where Chuks was coming on for 20-30 minutes, I don't think Mason would be with us without assurances of game time either. So allowing for Agard staying and Tis appearing to play 2 up front, Realistically there's probably only the space for a sub/ reserve striker. I'd be happy if we left replacing him for now, give Asonganyi and Nombe a fair crack by playing them in the Check a trade and rotate them on the bench. If we're serious about growing our own players they need game time eventually.
