We will definitely need a hungry and capable young striker at the start of the season who can eventually step up to PL level. Waiting for promotion and relying on AA and maybe RS is too much of a risk and will make the recruitment of one more rushed and expensive if we actually do bounce back straight away.
Leeds now after Cameron Archer late in the window. After his lacklustre CBA performance when he came on against Newcastle I wouldnt be surprised if Juric said "on you go son".
If the club want him enough i'm sure they would "gross up" the NI to compensate. It's peanuts at the end of the day in the telephone numbers for salaries they are dealing with.
He may be out of favour but, if so, he should run himself into the ground when he comes on. Just drifted most of the time. This must be reflected in training is all I can think.
