Resigning ?? That buying or loaning ?.... To be honest we have to sign someone .... IMHO no probably prefer Dyke(just).. but imagine if Dykes did go to Rangers and we signed nobody !!

Please no not Hugill! 15 goals for us in the past was a freak, once in his career season. Look at his goal scoring record - appalling for a forward!
We must move on and take a punt with lower league player, and ship out Armstrong to get some much needed first team football in L2. He is nowhere near Championship level but has potential to get there in 2-3 years with some more experience lower down the leagues.

Not having a dig but you want to send Armstrong out to a lower league club ? We already have kelman and Duke McKenna at orient.. and then sign a lower league forward ? After releasing Bonne our last lower league forward signing ? |

My thinking is that Armstrong could be our main striker in next few years but is not ready yet so needs first team football to learn the game and that he needs to add more to his game then just brute strength and aggression. Ideally we sign a lower league striker who has scored goals at that level for a few seasons but still young enough for us to develop. Similar to what Brentford did with Watkins but maybe the overseas market will be easier to find what we need and at better value?
Kelman has potential and more street wise than Armstrong and could be a good squad player next season but Duke can’t get in the team and probably needs to move on.

They got paid something like 1.5 Million for him and got him back free, not a bad bit of business, barely playing a game in that time. We got right mugged off. Player has a poor attitude and even Charlton fans realise this but League one is his level so will probably do ok there and Kane. Shame they can’t take Shodipo, Thomas and Niko off us, three more League one standard that surely have to go this window. |

QPR need to go after Plymouth Argyles new signing - Striker Ben Waine. Scored on his Plymouth debut earlier this week. is 21, is very fast, solid and scores. Was very good for the Wellington Phoenix.

I Missed Shodipo going out on loan to Lincoln
Interesting to see what happens in June as his contract expires then.
Hopefully will move on, Thomas and Niko need to go on loan too, then we have to do something with Dykes, just don’t think he does enough.
if we can clear a couple of these out will be a good window.

So what does it actually say about where we are? Fact is we are not scoring enough even though we can create chances. 3 choices : 1. Stick with what we have and hope someone comes good or Willock gets back to form. 2. Go for the "young" strategy, sign an unknown wonder kid from the lower leagues who will immediately start banging in goals in the Championship - not sure there are any of that type around and if there are we will not be top of their list to join. May as well recall Kelman and play him with Armstrong instead of gambling on another unknown. 3. Go for an older proven striker with PL and Championship experience. May work and keep us in the top half of the table at least, but Charlie did not do so well last year so it is still a gamble but not as much a gamble as looking at lower leagues. A few on here saying get rid of Dykes this window. Great idea - but if we do who is left as a front man? Mickey Mouse? if not we need to sign someone before we offload anyone. The idea is to strengthen the squad not run it more into the ground. To me that means keeping Dykes and signing another striker - if we do a one in one out we are horribly exposed to an injury. Lots of fans do not want Dykes but strangely all his managers want to keep him for what he gives to the team - just needs to add a few more goals. |

Dykes needs to go for me.
I think Sinclair would have scored more than Dykes with his game minutes and assists too.
Not good enough

Not good enough I think we all understand your opinion Harr on Dykes and many may agree. My point though is that unless we sign 2 goal scoring strikers including a good upfront hold up player, both of whom have to be better than Dykes, it is total madness to get rid of the only experienced player we have of that type. Who are they and how to we afford them? How does dumping Dykes help the squad. Even if we get a better man in why not keep him in the squad, on the bench, cover for injury and suspension.? We have others in the squad far less capable and far less likely to give anything to the squad or even make the subs bench so think about getting rid of them first to make room for the wages of another striker. Sorry I just do not get the apparent obsession with dumping one player because he has not scored enough when we have others far worse. How does dumping a regular player improve the squad unless he is a trouble maker.? |

How does dumping a regular player improve the squad unless he is a trouble maker.? Yes I agree. If I thought for one moment that we could sell Dykes to G. Rangers for £4m, buy two great striking prospects for £2m, then perhaps, maybe. But the reality is that we would probably get £2m tops, we would buy half of a Macauly Bonne and a vintage Ashley Barnes on a final pay-packet, and come the Summer be in even bigger trouble. Austin, Kelman, Bonne, Dykes, Washington - it does not fill you with confidence, does it? Better the devil we own I think. But certainly, we need to add a striker rather than sell the only one we have. |

I think the biggest problem we may face apart from finding a striker is a last minute snatch of Seny without time to replace him, although I rate Murphy above Archer.
The Brentford keeper has 18 months left on his contract, so far has refused to sign a new one and valued at 20 million he will be sold during this window if he does not sign an extension. He wants to play in the Champions League (don't most players) and apart from interest in the PL some top European clubs are watching closely.
I think he may go as a last minute deal and Brentford with the cash in hand will make a low but hard to turn down bid for Seny.
Hope I am wrong but gut feeling and the growing rumour mill worry me and we may have to end up with a Marshall type free agent for the rest of the season - although Marshall was good until he got crocked.

Can't understand why we did not buy Danny Ings who seems to be at West Ham now - oh I remember - we don't have 15 million to spend on an aging 30 year old with no resale value. |

Dykes needs help up front, once the club abandons this negative 1 up front crap, especially at home, then we might achieve something.
