Hey guys, Great news today regarding Andrea! Think he will bring in real stability for the club which is fantastic! And he's pleased with monks work 👍🏻👍🏻😀! Aren't we all! Seeing Leeds are still interested in Ashley fletcher? Is it me or am I missing something? His record as a striker is woeful! 5 goals in about 35 games, all of which were for Barnsley! Admittedly I've never seen him play but can't we do better? For me nugent and Rhodes are experienced goal scorers, way better options even if they are older! Plus there's a reason Man Utd let fletcher go, he ain't good enough! Remember the last Man Utd reject we got.? Not good enough! MOT.

I guess you are talking about Wooton? Remember Strachan? I just feel that Garry Monk knows what he is doing and going by the players he has brought in already we should trust his judgement. However, i'd take Rhodes all day as he is a proven scorer at Championship level.

Yes wooton, strachan was in a completely different footballing era so you can't use him as an example. But I agree with you, I have faith in monk although grimes hasn't turned out so good has he?

All I'm saying is why don't we go for proven strikers as opposed to ones that haven't done anything? We are even linked with an Italian striker who failed at West Ham! No sense!

Fuzz you are right but the problem is proven strikers cost. Lots of names being mentioned and Rhodes will cost aprox 8 mill. Nugent imo is a 12 goal a season man. If Monk believes Fletcher can add to the squad then that's good enough for me.

Fletcher is been looked at as a cheap gamble on a future player (the lad is only 21 after all, most players that age are out on loan in Lg1 or 2) . I would think Monk is looking at him a lot like Sacko, he has stupid amounts of pace, you can't teach that. With Beattie to work with he could become a really good forward given a little time, would rather have either of the other two but one is way over priced and the other is in his decline. As a short term fix he is a bad signing but as an investment he could be really good. Ps for the record Fuzzy, Man U offered him an extension, he ran his contract out so he isn't a reject, he wanted first team football (Also why he now wants out at Ham) which is a good attitude at least.

If we're looking at a cheap gamble, I'd rather Kashket from Wycombe. He played a lot of futsal so he's quite skilful and is in good form atm. Wouldn't cost £2m either. If we're spending £2m on a striker it should be someone like Nugent who is experienced in the Champ, rather than Fletcher.
