As we all seem to agree - we need more goals next year - the question is who do we sign?
It is clear that the gulf between Championship and Premiership when it comes to scoring golas is huge.
So where do we look? I suggest having a look at Italy, where the defences are historically strong - if you can score there then the chances are that you are a good striker.
Do not rely on a pair of Golas or anyone wearing Golas to score goals for us. And an Italian wouldn't be seen in the same shop or room as a pair of Golas.

Can't we just spend a couple of million on shooting lessons for Jerome. If the man could score he'd be dynamite.
We could get that geezer who's gonna work with England at the World Cup. Pay him half a million to do one to one sessions with him and with a bit of luck he'll be like Roy of the Rovers

Fletcher is a complete knob with behaviour and attitude issues, avoid
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Rodallega is the man for me.
I've always thought he was an amazing underrated player. Under TP I can see him becoming a goal machine as well as a good team player.
In fact I think he is the best reason to smash Fulham down to the championship in the final game of the season!

Now that we are staying up I think that Pulis may start to try 1 or 2 players, giving them a little more game time to see who he has for next season. I suggest Ince as i have been a fan of his for a while. Chamakh has been injured but why not try having Chamakh holding the ball for Ince to run on to? Then he can see if he wants new strikers because if he has a combination that her likes then why change it? It may just be a case of finding that combination.

I think we need to make a double move for 2 slighlty unknown players that aren't at the world cup therefore wont have their values shoot up.
alfred finnbogason - who i said we should have gone for last year.
Martin Braithwaite
both quality forwards lots of pace and both young.
i would love to see us go for players like this.

Rodallega is the man for me.
He is a bit "Hit and miss" - you never know what you are going to get from him ! But he is technically good,very quick and takes free kicks over wall.It was Steve Bruce who brought him over from Mexico for £4.5 Mill when he was manager of Wigan.

Troy Deeneny for me. Although many of the righteous snobs will go "No that Thug" like they have never done anything wrong in there life. Or Ross McCormack.
I've not seen anything from either of those two that suggest they can make the step and play the way Pulis would want them to...McCormack is at least a foot too short for a start!
Jordan Rhodes is the only player I can see that coudl potentially fit the bill. Agree and would love to see us sign Rhodes. Can't really see it though unless Blackburn need the money and no one else is in for him.
Even if Blackburn need money and are willing to sell there will be bigger clubs with bigger transfer/wage budgets in for him.

The other striker who has been rumoured quite a lot is the 6ft 7inch Danish international Makienok, who has a prolific scoring record for Brondby, but would be a big challenge to switch to PL

Absolutely agree about Finnbogasson but I think the trawler has already left port. He will be top scorer in the Dutch league with 30 plus goals and Herenveen would want upwards of £6 million. If we wanted him, last summer was the chance, probably instead of Gayle. Really surprised that he didn't move somewhere then, after an impressive season in the Dutch league. Rodallega looks a possible replacement for CJ, if TP decides to go down that route which isn't a definite.
