With full backing...

We need to bring in quality.

In terms of strikers, who would you say is a realistic and quality striker?

I follow Dutch football quite a bit having spent a while over in the Netherlands, and Milan Smit is a young striker who finished the season with 18 goals.

Strong, decent link up play and cheap.

I'd love to see us casting our net far and wide and identifying young up and coming players from abroad.

I had hoped that when Bulut arrived we might see some promising players.from overseas but all we ended up with were Goutas who had a decent season and Siopis who was mainly dogshite.

There is not a great deal of quality available from out of contract championship players. Just thinking about some free/cheap but believable options coz I'm not sure there will be much of a budget.

There is a striker from Hull, Aaron Connelly, who didn't play much for them last year but still scored a fair few and he's played in the prem with Brighton. Still only 24. Available for free.

Sam Gallagher, the striker from Blackburn entering last 12 months of his contract. Always liked him.

Jake Cooper, a beast of a defender, out of contract at Millwall so free. Good option for back up maybe???

Hopefully Bulut can pull something out of the bag from overseas

Lets hope the net does not reach granada where we sourced farmer dido whoever gave us the nod about dido should be sacked and no where near any recruitment.

Very harsh on Siopis. First season in the Championship I thought he did very well

Ran around a lot.

Gave the ball away a lot.

Lost possession a lot.

Siopis' season in a nutshell.

The Manager has always said he had a plan for this season - If he stayed ...
