Ive noticed Oliver a few times when hes played against us. Big and strong and looks like he has some good pace and movement about him. This was the type of forward that we desperately missed out on last season after the rumpus with Bogle.Id say if we'd signed someone like him(or sorted out our differences with Bogle) we would of scraped through and stayed up.Lets see if we can get this right this time. If you want a big striker he has to be: Big, strong, fast, some semblance of ball skills and most importantly as hungry as F**k.
How much money have we pissed away trying to find a forward to lead the line? Bingham, Kwame, all the Premier League loan lads who didn’t actually score many goals actually, Agard, Bogle, Dodoo. Money just pissed away. If we had actually invested in someone properly post-Marquis we might have been in a better pleased. Huge turnover upfront, none of them delivered what we needed.

That's the trouble though, if you are after that type of striker then you need to get the right type in, of the names you mentioned only Kwarme and Bogle fit this bill, Kwarme long was past his best and we all know the issue with Bogle. All the other names are not hold up merchants and require a different type of game plan to succeed, players like Sharp and Heffernan thrived in playing up top because we didn't expect them to play this type of game.The trouble we seem to have is we keep playing square pegs into round holes, Fergi and Dodo are the most recent cases, just rank poor planning, poor player scouting and selection.But if you shop for the cheaper own brands you never get the best quality product unless you fall on lucky.
Vadaine Oliver released by Gillingham. Striker, 6ft 2in scored ten goals last season and I think he would add something to the squad we haven’t got. He’s thirty years old and originates from Sheffield.

I was told marquis is going Charlton
How many strikers do we have on the books currently? I think any new additions will be dependent on other players moving on.
Conor Washington has been released by Charlton, but I very much doubt he’ll drop down to League 2 unless he was offered a good longish contract
Feel like Joe Mattock (left back) and Angus MacDonald (centre back - if we ended up needing one) could both do a job here. Released by Rotherham today.
