Well a transfer deal that was already near enough dead, will be now as his price-tag will only rise...
You beat me to it Campbell, we missed our chance here sadly.
The board never had any intention of spending £5m on him anyway.Shame as he would've been a perfect replacement for Hooper,guess we'll just have to make do with Stokes this season...
I genuinely hope Stokes plays next week, how pathetic is it that it has come to this?
Im in a minority I admit, but I think Stokes is a decent player but as our only option? No way.
I agree but what I will say is some strikers show up better in another country, well that is the hope I am hanging onto
I think Stokes is a decent player as well but like you say as our main striker
He's the only striker we've been linked to with an adequate scoring record.. Youth on his side too... Would have had sell on value even at £5m

Aye but we could get 2 or 3 unproven strkers with potential for that amount...
...then get shot of them quick style for peanuts a couple of years later.
Every striker Lennon has signed who has had no experience in UK football has been a flop...

aye give them 2 or 3 games then decide they cant cut it,send them on loan until their deal runs out..sounds about right.

Did Lennon not sign Stokes or Hooper?
Yes, but Hooper had proven himself in the Championship and Stokes had proven himself in the SPL.
Hesselink was the last unproven UK striker who did well for us.

sad but true!
Infuriating! Deceptive in his skill camoflage! But he scored the last minutes winner, diving heeder, winner takes all, against the h*n....
Live long and prosper Herr Vennegoor of Hessilink.
Deep pockets, short arms... JVoH is our best striker since Larsson/Sutton/Hartson..
