I think we'd still be okay in this league with Rico, Marquis and Collins.

Obviously we'd all like a massive signing but I would be happy with this being a CB rather than a striker.

Plenty of time left yet and more players to be released this month, but always good to get business done early.

I'm intrigued to see if we go with another youngster as cover for Buchs, he was outstanding last year.

I like Collins and would be happy if we signed him, however personally I prefer Marquis. Money being no object, I'd love to sign them both but I can't help but think that those two and Rico offer largely the same option with Hoskins our only variation up front. Realistically, my choice would be to sign Marquis and then go for a nippier, more mobile forward to allow us to chop and change a bit more.

I prefer Marquis. We also need a target man with pace.

Well their respective scoring records are very similar.
JM  6 in 15
JC  8 in 21
As mentioned elsewhere I'd take them both. Love the way Marquis gets in the face of the opposition. And Collins, well everybody loves a bad boy don't they?

Either would be welcome. I do like the attitude of Marquis however the coolness of finishing of Collins is a factor.

Please not Collins, and not Marquis either, he runs around a lot wanting to fight everybody on the pitch.
If I had to choose between the two it would be Collins although at an alleged £3k per week I think we can do much better

As we haven't signed either Collins or Marquis yet,I'm hoping that means we're not going to.
Don't think either of them could help us survive in league one.

Any rumours the away shirt launch could coicide with the confirmation of a signing or two?Huh??

Just seems a bit of an odd time to launch a shirt to me (9PM) and a bit of build up being created?

Nothing against our current strikers, they'll do well enough to avoid relegation, however we desperately need a proven striker at this higher level, a 20+ man, and I can't see us being able to afford it. The alternative is to "discover" someone who is to us what Vardy was to Leicester - oooh look, there's a flying pig!

Hoskins is a nuisance but he is not clinical enough.

Why not? Playing the 4-2-3-1 formation with Rico up front, assuming he finds the form he's had over the past two seasons without injury, yes I think we'd comfortably avoid relegation. Hoskins is adequate as cover / part of a plan B though obviously it'd be preferable to get at least one (probably two) additional strikers in. Of course this would be reliant on Rico having players of the quality of JJOT, Holmes etc still playing behind him and chipping in with 10 goals or so apiece again.

As for Marquis / Collins. I wouldn't mind seeing both join, but I'd definitely prefer Marquis. Although a similar player, I think he does offer something slightly different up top. Collins I feel is too similar (and probably inferior) to Richards.

You asked if we had more than one striker, the answer is yes. We have two currently.

Love it how every year people comment about signing a marquee striker who will 20 odd goals etc....since when have we had the money do and do such a thing...every club wants one of those and those with the money to spend tend to get them. Mind you at least we don't have to put up with the "we need to sign a target man"

Bit harsh on Hoskins, he is only young, could go ether way however 10-11 goals was a very good return last year and he should improve with players like Rico around him. I agree he could be bit more clinical, still think there is more to come.
