Watched inacho from Leicester tonight, would be top of my list of available options to back up dcl.

I'd not want him if he's only good enough to be back up. We need to sign player who are good enough to keep our supposed 1st choice striker out the team. We'll never improve by just signing back ups.

Is this because he scored a little flick, unmarked in the 6 yard box against Burton Albion?

Not a chance he scores that type of goal in the Pl, not to mention the lad had a handful more chances in that game and showed poor finishing.

No- it was his work rate, runs off the ball etc. for me if we set a style of play to suit dcl then we need an option who is similar.

It's sad how far we have fallen when some sections of our fan base would like to sign this lad. He's about as prolific in the premier league as Maupay was at Brighton. We do need someone through the door asap but it will probably be a desperation buy.

Not many prolific no9s about, and the position were in both financially and appeal it is, a sad state of affairs.
Ready made option to dcl and probably attainable, at least he could lead the better than maupay. We have to improve on and off the pitch to allow us shop at the other end, I want a Ferrari but have to stick with a merc ?
Who would you realistically prefer.

Rich, not entirely sure mate in all honesty. Not sure how much we really have to spend and, like you say, there's not too many top goalscorers about.
We have to be prudent with what cash we spend so I wouldn't buy a player just because he's available and has been ok in the prem. We've been down that road numerous times, Maupay being the latest. If push comes to shove, and it's admittedly not ideal either, is to utilise Dobbins. Maybe out wide and then push the lad on loan centrally when DCL isn't available or selected. Whatever way we go, it needs to be soon mate, days away from the first game without too many new faces is making me nervous!

Totally agree with where you’re coming, our transfer policy has been crazy for years, dof, managers, chairman, owners who knows what goes on.
I think it makes sense having someone with similar attributes to dcl, and let them fight if out for the starting pick. I’m all for a plan b&c when things aren’t working in a game or to suit an opponent but we’re hampered by dcl fitness issues and play the same way with a midget up top.

Agreed, rich. At least we have one through the door today, hopefully this lad can force his way into the first team.
That's the one thing that makes me feel a bit sorry for Maupay tbh mate, the team style doesn't change whether he's up top or DCL, which doesn't help the dormers cause really. I'd like to see him just behind the CF as I reckon he would be better in a duo rather than isolated on his own up front. Doubt we will see that though as I expect both him and DG to be sold before the end of this window, replacements permitting that is.
