Some options for a striker I would be happy to see, from most likely to possibly out of our price range. Surely we should be making a move for one of these guys, its a no brainer.
Matt Taylor- free agent, 28 goals for Bristol Rovers last season.
Sam Winnall- Last year contract, 21 league goals Barnsley.
Paddy Madden- 2 year contract, 20 league goals Scunthorpe.
Nahki Wells- 2 year contract, 17 league goals Huddersfield.
Jonathan Kodjia- 2 year contract, 19 league goals Bristol City.

KODJIA would be a good signing I think and matt taylor had a good year although that being said isn't he in the region of 35ish?
I think we should be looking for sum1 who is younger than that yet still proven goal scorer.
nahki wells would cost us bout 3 million his contract isn't up till 2018!
paddy madden I think would jump at the chance to play for us and would cost under 1 mill maybe a risk worth taking.
sam winall would be a god signing I think!
doesd anyone else think that adam rooney is just as good as all these guys I think he would score for fun for us .
I thinks adam rooney and johnny hayes both should be on our wishlist watched these two rip the spl apart last year!

Taylor is only 25 I think you are mixing him up with guy who used to play for Sheffield United.
01 Jul 2016 13:33:15
Have to agree with you james stirling, I think both johnny hayes and adam rooney would be terrific signings for us, I particularly like hayes, I wouldn't mind us signing will grigg, naki wells or tom bradshaw but I have heard we're signing kyle lafferty when he comes back from his 2 weeks holiday and then we'll tie up the deal, god I hope NOT!

Think you will find guys that the next players to come in will be loan signings .
Before anyone moans about not spending remember players cost wages .
MW did state that we are still looking at two more, CH, and a striker, all looking good .

lafferty would be a mistake just ask any of your celtic friends they would love to see us sign him again lol that's when you know he just isn't good enough!
and on taylor well different taylor I was thinking of but that's because I don't know that many from league 2 down south I don't think we should be looking down there for a striker not when they have just signed dembelle we need a good response keep them on their toes.

Wells from Huddersfield would be a good signing wouldn't mind him.

Warburton15, I hope the source who told you we were after Scot McDonald is the same source source telling you about Lafferty, as let's face it, the first one about McDonald turned out to be utter garbage (thankfully) .
Lafferty is not the answer for us and I feel we should be showing greater ambition than a player who has failed at the majority of clubs he's played at since leaving us.

All the names listed in posts above and I would still go with Hardie over them all. He deserves a chance for sure and when loaned out he proved he has eye for goal. With the service I hope the front man will get this season from midfield I think he would shine.

Hardie will be a player but not for a couple more seasons. Would be good to get him involved this year but not as the main striker, he should be 3rd choice behind Miller and whoever we sign, being used when the situation is correct for him. This way the pressure and expectation is not all on his shoulders, he would gain experience from the other strikers and we would have a ready made replacement for Miller the season or two after.
This year is not the time to hope that he is good enough and give him the responsibilities, we need someone else in with a bit of pedigree about them already and wither you agree or not, those strikers down south have that over Hardie. There is no chance he would be scoring the goals they have at this stage in his career.

MW stated that there won't be any loan signings unless something very special comes up . due to signings made and game time you have to give to loans .
