With just over 2 weeks to go before the transfer window closes it still seems very quiet on our quest for a goal scorer. If our scouts ever put together a list of decent of free or cheap goalscorers it must be getting shorter by the day. Goalscorers are the most important players in the game and every team needs at least one but for whatever reason we continue to drag our heels.
As mentioned elsewhere we have missed out on the free transfers of:
Lawrence Shankland, who has scored loads of goals in Scotland
Tom Eaves, 21 League goals last season for Gillingham.
For a small fee we could have signed:
Freddie Lapado who scored 18 goals for relegated Plymouth (£500k)
If we wanted to go for a slightly more risk and reward option then a goalscorer like Mo Eisa, who was prolific in non league and scored a goal every 2 games at Cheltenham. ( now gone to Peterborough for £1.5m).
I would rather we risk spending £1.5m on buying a young prospect rather than pay the same amount or more in wages to a Wells or a Hemed. Even getting a proven goal scoring youngster like Troy Parrot (Spurs) or Mason Greenwood (Man Utd) on loan would be a benifit.
