Austin scores goals. Worth a punt.

  Capoue would be my no1 choice.

  Wouldn't mint Zaha or Ince.For me , under 25, up and coming players are the kind we should be signing.

  Haven't seen Austin, but i do think Jay Rodriguez is going to be a very good goal scorer.

Would be an unbelievable rise for Auston to get a Premier club. Saw him a few times just a few years ago (2009?) playing for Poole Town, well down the non league pyramid. Good player but didn't think he was all that at the time, what do I know. Swindon obviously saw something they liked and the boy can score goals that's for sure...

Don't think  new forward should be a priority.

Who was the Swindon striker that moved to Leeds and didn't look half the player he was? Paynter?

Let's reign it in with all they inexperienced signings with potential. We need more proven players and no that doesn't mean they have to be in the over-paid/fed mould of Mutton and Warnock. Petrov has not been adequately replaced and we're missing him.

Agreed. Unless Bent goes of course. I think an enforcer type DMC, a creative AMC who can play in the hole and a pacy CB.

Agree totally.

Too many inexperienced players is very risky indeed. Bit of quality in the middle, please.

We don't need a striker, we have several good ones including Darren Bent who will score goals if he plays.

we are still two midfielders light . A hard general type for a start with plenty of experience  , I suppose they are to come by .

The one player who impresses me whenever i see him is Kone at Wigan. I know we're not in urgent need for strikers at the moment but one to keep an eye on.
