Jf we''ll be singing a striker or 2 in the coming weeks, chill ya bean. Ok for the first 2/3 games it''s jerome/lafferty or naismith Not the end of world

I would say this is Bradys replacement. Terrific signing if we pull it off.

It''s never a blessing missing out on the managers first choice targets. Especially as he''s moving to a promotion rival. It''s a double blow in my opinion. We''ve got it all to do now in the transfer market

I suspect the club has it''s tail very much between it''s legs once again

[quote user="OzzieBudgie"]People have to realise he isn''t actually very good.. when he came in for Ruddy he was poor especially the game against Villa. Fans only like him because he was a youth player but in reality he is a second string championship goalie at best, far worse than Ruddy and McGovern[/quote] Spot on, glad someone said it

The thing that is worrying me now is, if Aston Villa have come in late as they drew blanks on their other targets. Are those other targets the ones we''re now going to have to go after? Presuming we miss out here of course Maybe why we''ve been so persistent on Mccormack is because we already knew others weren''t available. For example assombalonga and the Bristol city chap (can''t remember his name now) Could have dropped ourselves right in it here

It''s not an ideal and my patience is wearing thin with the whole situation. However We are in the market for the top players in this division. Those transfers will take longer. We could go out tomorrow and sign 3 or 4 no doubt if we wanted but they won''t improve us. We''re all going to have to sit tight

Let''s hope for nice surprise but starting to lose hope lol No signing now is likely to effect the Blackburn game so as we are for that at least.

Lets hope n pray if we don''t get Mccormack we get assombalonga Was hoping for both but realised it was just a pipe dream

Indy i know what you''re saying about rvw but i simply disagree. let''s agree to disagree on it as it''s something we can now no longer find out. All I''m saying on Mccormack is there is no reason particularly at home, where we will hopefully dominate and pin teams in, why he cannot play the role well. The lone striker on those days won''t really be a lone striker as he should have plenty of support from either or both wes/naismith. As long as we''re not playing hoofball any intelligent player with half decent distribution should play the role no problem. It''s all about the right support. His best position no doubt is as part of a 2. Like i say lets see what happens, i can''t see AN signing a player like him with no plan. The reality is it probably won''t happen now so all this debate will be pointless. If Fulham are now demanding 15 i think we should move targets. It''s dragging on and we''re looking stupid /desperate

Indt bones i would reply to all you wrote but really can''t be bothered as we''ve killed it into the ground. You''re someone who has admitted they would prefer rvw to Mccormack. I can''t debate with someone like that, it''s pointless and I''ll never win. Let''s see how it all unfolds. P.s if u think CJ is the same player as he was 2 years ago, you''re in for a shock.

I''ve been a supporter of this signing but if it''s true and they''ve moved the goalposts again asking for 15 million then i think we should move on. Getting fed up with whole saga now

Just had a look on sky sports. Ian holloway has made his predictions for the championship. Got us to finish 3rd (he''s optimistic). Says if we get Mccormack we''re getting the best player outside the premier league. Anyway The lad can play anywhere across the front. I''ll be honest I''d rather have Mccormack up top on his own than Jerome. Could care less if people think he can''t play there, Jerome can''t hit a cow''s arse with a banjo. Being more serious i expect him to play off Jerome or another mostly. Wes won''t make every game at his age and some games he''s ineffective. Best player on form. Could play the diamond again easily especially with pinto and olsson as wing backs. 4-3-3 can''t be ruled out. Options are endless but that''s just my opinion. Rather have him as part of the squad than the cash sitting in the bank and him playing for a rival.

AN said it was purely tactical, something along the lines of wanting to narrow the midfield o thimk he said. A tactical change in a pre season game, jacob just needs to accept it and crack on.

I think people need to relax a bit. We will sign 2 strikers this window, i think that is obvious with the rvw departure. Mccormack being one.

What is always going to be difficult for naismith is playing in the exact position of our local hero and best player.

I like the fact there''s a signing nearly done completely under the radar, hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

In 10-15 games we''ll have our answer

I know it''s only pre season but it''s a major concern we have the exact same problems as last season. Cj can''t finish his breakfast Defence all over the place Slighty demoralising

[quote user="norfolkngood"]i think wes is on the left today !! ha !! why oh why!![/quote] It''s called getting minutes on the pitch

We need 2 strikers Mccormack being one and then another like like with Jerome. It''s a long season, horses for courses and all that jazz

Now RVW has gone expect this deal to be announced in due course....

Sold to vitesse!

The gift that keeps on giving

Chicken i think that''s a great post. Tbh i feel we''ve exhausted the subject through several threads, let''s just hope we get a striker in or preferably 2 with 1 or 2 getting off the books, maybe then we can please everyone.
