Re: WE Need A Poacher Next Year
Think Jay Rodrigues on loan would be a good start, SD would nurture him back to a regular spot in the team-still has something to prove. Nearly went to WBA on loan

WE Need A Poacher Next Year
Been clear in the past 3-4 months that we need a natural goal scorer. Been spoiled in recent years-Blake, Austin, Rodriguez and Ings. Convinced we would have several away wins with one. Vokes looks seriously over-weight and slow, while Barnes is just a spoiler for any defender. Gray is finding the P...

Re: Barnes, Gray and Vokes
Would let Gray go and use Vokes on the bench and let his contract run down. Neither have enough in their all round game to be a top half of PL striker, Ulloah of Leicester would be a replacement for Vokes, or alternatively Kodgie at Villa. Think Danny Ings on loan would be worth a risk.
