Casimir Ninga from Montpellier anyone?

id take anyone at this stage

[river phoenix]

Three strikers I would look at are Guido Burgstaller (FC Nurnberg, 14 goals so far, out of contract in the summer so can be had for a cheap), Sebastian Haller (FC Utrecht) and Omar Bogle.

I also hope Joka ring his buddy Aitor Karanka re: Jordan Rhodes.

[Riverside]

I have to admit I am not really looking at this much because

1) the important deal or deals will be done in the last week of the window
2) they will be none of the players we are talking about

How many of last windows 14 did we identify more than a week from the actual signing - or come to think of it within 72 hours !!

If we wait till the last week to get a decent striker in then we can kiss our season goodbye. I still blame the reason on Y's being out of touch on the fact it took us so long to get Martin in and then waste another 6 games getting him up to speed

hopefully we will lose that race

proven at this level,  would be cheap allowing us to also go for someone else.

[MJG]

103 goals in  just over 300 championship games. Not bad.

[dannyboi-ffc]

Nugent would get more goals until the end of season than Smith has made his whole stay with us. I realise Smith gets limited chances but I'd expect Nugent to score them all as a back up off the bench.

Like MJG says, experienced, proven and cheap allowing for a better more expensive first choice to replace Martin.

Imo it makes sense but I wont cry if we miss out. Depends who we get instead but we need 2 strikers.

Smith only has 9 goals by the way

[cmg]

Nugent:
Wouldn't be my first choice...But at least he would solve one problem -
                 Penalties - scored 12    missed 4

[Toby Ward-Smith]

Would be a good back-up striker however we would still need a starter for me

[AlexW132]

I'd rather have Nugent than no-one

[Woolly Mammoth]

Nugent would be a better acquisition than some others that have been mentioned, he is a proven goal scorer and knows the championship inside out.

the thing is if this happened, i can imagine in a few weeks i'll be one of those saying come on, why haven't we signed anyone else, we hardly spent anything on nugent, and you'll be the first to tell me we've paid him a £800k signing on fee and £40k p/w

I might well say that if I knew the figures. But as i have said, I'll take him but would not want him as the only striker coming in.

[No one like Leggat]

If he has a choice between Leeds and us I think he's more likely to choose the team 60 miles up the road. Shame really because he would have been a decent option for us.

[AnEssexFan]

I'd rather sign Bamford than Nugent, and I'd also like to see us go after Rhodes. If we're serious about making a push for the play offs why settle for Nugent when the other two appear to be available?

Its not so much as going after Rhodes,more of would he want to come to us.

Are we allowed to have 3 players on loan from the same PL club

Kalas & Paizon are both from Chelsea - I guess a work round would be to sign one of them permanently

Derby County have opened talks with Middlesbrough. We believe it's advanced talks over David Nugent.
