    Carlton Morris had 30 goals before signing for us and they're the exact same age.

    1 goal more than Daniel Sturridge over last 5 years (admittedly DS has been suspended).
    If we were signing DS or someone of his ilk would the response be the same?

    No but with good service you never know. Our attacking ethos is pretty basic, win ball, flick ons, lay off for midfielders to put ball through for clever runs at pace.
    Our crosses back end of the season lacked quality, we need to raise the standard again and i think any strong tall striker will flourish.

    Is that Red Stripe Virica? - I heard he usually bottles it in front of goal

    The sort of striker you mention is a needle in a haystack. I suppose it's finding the right combination of strikers to get the best out of each other. Morris comes close to ticking all the right boxes, and maybe, with the introduction of the right man alongside him, he can be the one to lead the line. As you say, a lot of credit has to go to our scouts/recruitment strategy.

    Hopefully he'll get us a few free kicks. We've just had a beast up front who got no protection from refs whatsoever.

    Why are you assuming we are going to play the same way?

    I can see it being tweaked next year, still play with a press but slightly different to this year

    If you mean me I'm assuming nothing, haven't got a clue how things will be next season.
    What's your expert opinion?

    Watford just announced signing of Ashley Fletcher which could possibly pave the way for this to happen.

    Think you've answered your own question if he doesn't even have a wiki page!!

    Very decent article on him here. Sounds like he had huge potential but then lost his way a bit. A loan would be a gamble worth taking for us, but with the risk that if he does well then Watford would be likely to sell him to the highest bidder in January (which might not be us), bearing in mind that he's out of contract next summer and they'll probably want to recoup something.

    I think the Dike loan showed us that even having a guaranteed fee doesn’t particularly work for us. If the player starts to play really well and other clubs start to show an interest, we will just be quoted wages and terms we won’t/can’t afford to pay. The striker and his agent can then negotiate with who ever they choose after we have showcased his talents for a year or so.

    Do we really need another striker? Whoever we get in won't be any better than Morris and Woodrow, Chaplin got into double figures when we weren't playing so direct, so worth a shot this season. Frieser may kick on a bit now he's adjusted to the league and we've signed Cole.

    Surely midfield and/or left wing back would be more of a priority?

    And you know this how? We could sign someone as good or better - like we did last season with Dike

    Wouldn’t imagine Watford would want a loan deal with only 12 months left. If he plays well, come January more likely a club will wait until summer to get him on a freebie
