[quote user="norfolkngood"]Blackburn are going nowhere in 18th in championship the lad knows where the net is I am sure he would come here be good in front of Naismith[/quote]We were in for him back when Lambert was manager but he had recently signed a new deal so financially it wasn''t an option. I like him as a striker and I think he would score a bag load of goals if given the chance too. Initially at the time Rhodes was quite keen to come down but it never materialised and to be fair to him he got on with it.

[quote user="Bethnal Yellow and Green"]The Premier League and Championship have different FFP rules. If Bournemouth were still in the Champ they would also have a transfer embargo - as they are Premier League now the Football League has no authority to enforce an embargo. The different rules for different leagues are explained here http://www.financialfairplay.co.uk/financial-fair-play-explained.php[/quote]aware of that, just shouldn''t be the case that the generally more successful or richer clubs in a money laden league should be able to abide by different rules. should be an FA thing as opposed to an FL/PL rule.

[quote user="OldRobert"]Whilst I don''t pretend to know the ins and outs of FFP, surely with the minimal income Bournemouth have, surely they are breaking the rules, again, throwing all this money around.[/quote]And yet unlike Forest and Bolton etc they got a slap on the wrist so where is the incentive not to do it again? A small fine of £250,000 on nigh on £15m of transfers isnt going to hurt them or make them think twice. Just been invested in heavily as well so expect them to do a sort of QPR type of dance over the next 18 months.

As far as i am aware we are in for Tom Lees and have even had a look at Forestieri (although he has flattered to deceive previously at watford and forest if i remember right) so not a huge guess to think there could be swap deals between Wednesday and us with the players we have there and Lees for them.

[quote user="Lessingham Canary"]At least he hasn''t got too far to travel ! We still have the Murphy''s, Carlton Morris and Loza to develop, not sure this lad is any further on ?.[/quote]Do agree with the fact that we have Loza and Morris as the other options for up top (havent counted murphy''s in this position) but I mmust admit having been a big fan of Morris in the U18 he has dropped off as he has fuond that his movement off the ball hasn''t been cute enough to get better of defenders enough whilst Loza completes the incredible feat of 5 goals in a game and yet has struggled to get a sniff of a game and a goal whilst out on loan at several clubs over the past 18 months. I would dearly like to see these boys come right through and make it but do we think they will? (Probably a completely seperate discussion!)My thought is very much that if we want to try and get an up and coming striker who is scoring goals in Pro football at a reasonable level then surely a better option that £10m or whatever other number has been mentioned on Dwight Gayle.

I got 8/10 and I am 23....would say that is impressive but I clearly need a better social life!

Bit of a bold suggestion here and I am wearing my tin hat at the ready but if we are to complete deals to see Lafferty and Hooper at the very least leave and we bring in one or 2 more strikers and need another up and coming option I would be inclined to suggest Washington?The boy is 23 years old, has been a good goal scorer at a lower level (yeah I get its not the prem...) but with 14 goals already this season he is raising some eyebrows with his ability to run in behind whilst finding space between the centre backs and full backs. He is also a quick lad with the ability to get on to the end of things. I am not suggesting he is the main man as far as I am concerned but with all the talk of Gayle, why not go for a cheaper and probably just as capable alternative?interesting to see as well we finally lost out on Randall Williams from Dulwich Hamlets to Palace (bit closer mind!)

Your perception is that he is trying to get into the team, the way I am reading it is that he is perceiving himself to be the victim and that he is not getting the opportunity he deserves..some fans will either agree/disagree with whether he does. But the way I see it is that he is one of the few players who has been very quick to speak to the media about his situation to try and force issue with either game time or a move. As far as I can see he has taken it to the point where AN has had questions to answer about Lafferty''s future into and beyond January. I take exception to players complaining about their situation to the media (and no he isn''t the first ot ever do it) as I feel that players should get their head down and work and a resolution will become apparent that way (much like grabban has had to take his pennance). I just don''t find him a particularly clever player with the media.

I just think a serious question about what is a very good time for NI and the Euros next year deserved a proper answer, that and also I am hardly endeared to his willingness/speed at talking to the media about particularly his situation here (saying about probably wanting to leave, saying he hasn''t had the opportunity all after wanting to "stay and fight") when he should either be quietly seeking the move or getting his head down and working rather than trying to create divisions that polarise fan,team-mate and even coaches view points. He is trying to turn himself in to a media darling and really I think his focus should be on the pitch where he isn''t quite as innovative and clever...
