Those messages have been undeliverable for quite some time, so it’s time to utilise the other options that we have! Winnal and Agyei are nowhere near reliable, or good enough.I suspect this is a message to Winnall and/or Agyei to step up or Whyte will overtake them in the pecking order
Back at the end of October Scotchers assured us on this thread that we were “targeting a new striker” and that I was being negative in suggesting this wouldn’t happen this January. But the OM this morning suggest Whyte’s role will be adapted to be that striker. Better quickly adapt that ITK information, eh, Scotch?
Really we need two if neither Dan nor Sam is up to it - one of those could potentially be Whyte. He needs the chance to run fast on to the ball, not haver around in midfield as he has mostly done this season so far.No problem at all with that as an option until the new year (especially away games), but there is no way that this is going to work until the end of the season.
What happens if Taylor is injured or needs to come off with 20 minutes left and we are against a really physical side?
We definitely need somebody in during January.
I wish.It means KR can sign Marcus Browne.
I would imagine that it is until the transfer window in January ( whatever is said I would think that we will get a new striker in)I can't believe Robbo is looking to Whyte to solve our need for a striker. He definitely could play a part but what we need and have needed since the summer is more power up front/plan B or/and an alternative goals source to Taylor.
Whyte isn't either and I wish Robbo would stop trying to be clever and just, you know, sign a striker.
Whilst I agree with this, I am not sure how many decent, fit, top of L1 strikers there will be just waiting to be snapped up in January, so it might be Hobson's Choice.I can't believe Robbo is looking to Whyte to solve our need for a striker.

Blackpool last season brought in Simms from Everton. So maybe a PL youngster is possible?Whilst I agree with this, I am not sure how many decent, fit, top of L1 strikers there will be just waiting to be snapped up in January, so it might be Hobson's Choice.

As some have pointed out Norwood could be available (Ipswich seem to have lots of strikers- although whether they would let him come to a top half L1 team).
So there could be options out there
Strikers? Ten a penny ( old money ). Why would one becomes available in January? I cannot see it happening. Get Winnall fit for heaven's sake.I can't believe Robbo is looking to Whyte to solve our need for a striker.

He’s had almost 18 months albeit he kept picking up more injuries during that time so I can’t see that improving unfortunately.Strikers? Ten a penny ( old money ). Why would one becomes available in January? I cannot see it happening. Get Winnall fit for heaven's sake.
Well, what other choices does Hobson have, and why would he choose to go anywhere but to us???Whilst I agree with this, I am not sure how many decent, fit, top of L1 strikers there will be just waiting to be snapped up in January, so it might be Hobson's Choice.
Thomas Hobson (1544–1631), a livery stable owner in Cambridge, England, who offered customers the choice of either taking the horse in his stall nearest to the door or taking none at all.Who's Hobson? and can he score 15 goals from January?
Splitter - gone to Cambridge. I think he's past it anyway, what with him being 400 years old and all.Well, what other choices does Hobson have, and why would he choose to go anywhere but to us???
