Well, lets say we only have 3 option now:
Murray
Sharp
8 goals so far Div3 striker
which do you pin your promotion hopes on?

Based on that list Murray.
Sharp would be like groundhog day and i'm not sure would be the answer - though we are playing a different way to last time.
I mean, I hope that's not the options, but this is Leeds.
Agreed - but then I'm not really fussed who it is, as long as they know where the net is.
I know we have this FFP bull**** but isn't there anyone from the Championship we can bid for? Most would want to come here surely.
That Karlan Grant from Huddersfield would fit our playing style.
Have we actually signed anyone at this stage!?!?!? Poveda or goalie from Italy?
What does it take to get players in?
Any club in this division with a player good enough for us, will put the price up and a lot of teams are challenging for the playoffs, not going to go buy someones top scorer, we don't have the cash.
Just posted article with excellent blog piece on Bielsa.
One of key points is how Bielsa takes average players and makes them perform well.
BUT, goalscoring is something harder to teach ie you need natural goalscorers and Bielsa's tend to get sold with management thinking he'll do ok with whatever we give him, but its not the case as we see with Bamford, you need someone who can naturally take advantage of frenetic what in reality are half chances.
I doubt we would get the truth from Bielsa even if he was desperate and demanding a striker. Hes too honest to start pointing the figure....
1. Adams
2. Gray
3. Murray
that order....defo not Billy Sharp
Excellent point Jonty.
You can see how Bielsa has caught Bamford how to be the all round striker. Running the channels, hold up, pressing etc. All learnable skills.
Finishing can be improved but is a lot more natural. He can’t teach someone that.

Still hoping for Bowen but if Newcastle come in for him that is game over.

Newcastle signing another striker per SSN this morning.
Currently injured but don't see Gayle going anywhere either given Newcastle's striker situation.
