I'd like Wells. Lots of pace which is what we need.

Can't forgive him for Bradford or Rodriguez for Saints.
 Only pure players who have not smithed us in the past. It's a short shortlist containing innocuous hotshots like Kevin Kyle.

I personally don't rate Wells.  he did ok the other night and was good in their cup run a few years back but I'm totally against buying player because they played well against us when we were shit.

Can't spurs fleecing Yedlin for 3m..

Ings could do a job here, I wonder if he's still in the same shape he was 2 years ago..

Of the strikers:-
No to Wells
Maybe to Ings
Yes to Bamford

We'll also need another wide option if Traore goes.

I  hope Rushian gets a chance soon. The lad looked sharp in pre-season.

I don't see the appeal of Bamford, Was shit in both loans last season and whenever I saw him for Boro (very limited times to be fair) he looked like a decent poacher but not much more than that.

Ings is too similar to RM for me, need a quicker striker.

Can't see that happening, their chairman was in the press a few weeks back saying that he will only go to a premier league club for silly money and that he's not for sale to a championship club at any price.

He did score nearly 20 goals last season.  Seeing him at the game the other night, I would say he is the type of forward we need, in that he's quick, has got good movement and is a real nuisance for defenders.

Striker who always looks sharp is Assombalonga - Forest owner is barking too so a decent offer might get snapped up

Moyes is supposedly looking at Assombalonga with the view to signing him for Sunderland.

Another one who would be a good signing for us.  He might not fancy the move up there and is move just across the midlands might be more appealing.

Depends on how much money we have left though. I'd still say either another midfielder or a creative player are bigger priorities (especially if we have no chance at salvaging Adama), so if there's only room for one, Bamford's probably the best we can manage in the loan market, and the fact that he at the very least scores goals means you can feel comfortable with rotating him with one of the current starters.

I did see that. Money talks though! I reckon we'll be going for Hernandez!
