Doukara is a winger so not in the equation.
Gestede 》Grot 》 Ekuban 》Roofe (cover if needed)
That would be more than enough cover when only playing one up top.
Only challenge for me is whether Gestede is the right signing. I am unsure at the moment.
Grot is an interesting signing
Not sold on Gestede, his goal scoring record is very average.
Roofe is very hot and cold, scoring a hat trick against a L2 team is nothing to get overly excited about
Why the hell does Orta rate Gestede? He's bang average and not worth the over inflated price we'd have to pay if Boro decided to sell, which seems unlikely.
There's a few comments on here this morning playing down our superb win last night against L2 opposition. I think we can rightly feel encouraged by the scoreline, and by Roofe's hat trick. How many times in the last 15 years have we stumbled against lower league or non-league opposition? And last night, they scored first.
Usually we have scraped by or been dumped out (Histon, ffs!), bottling it completely - but last night, the scoreline was emphatic, as it should have been playing an inferior side. We now seem to have the confidence to do the biz. For me, it's a sign of the positive regeneration of our great club under the AR/VO/TC regime. 'Underperformers' like Roofe are now bagging hatttricks...and goals are coming from midfielders as well as strikers. This is all just brilliant, in my view. It's amazing what an immediate and enormous impact the new regime seems to be having on the club.
What a turnaround we are witnessing! I reckon we're going to remember this season for a long time as the start of something really good!
I don't know what the deal is with gestede, why is orta so hell bent on getting him, like peak says he's bang average, & smoggies would want top dollar....
Grot will be first team, no point in signing under 23's at this stage

agree
The turnaround needs to conclude with promotion otherwise the prem predators will take the likes of saiz and alioski off us next season
Know someone who spoke to Orta yesterday and he said they had virtually sorted the strikers they were after, he said Gestede wasn't one of them, could have been a smokescreen but don't think so,
Adritk, I hope you're right cos I'm just seeing gestede' name bandied about all over the place...
Grot we know we are getting as long as medical goes ok, 2nd would be Long for me or Ings but both would want a pretty penny in wages, can but dream
wont be british based striker
i reckon gestede is a smokescreen to keep prices down ad orta annoys boro by doing it
the new striker will be around 25 years old with a good moneyball record in europe, hungry and a target man
like the rest bar anita
Preston striker Jordan Hugill being linked too.
like grot for now or the future but would avoid gestede like the plague.
There is a spanish striker we are rumoured tonne after a real classy player apprenently. Very much like Mirco Antenucci.
Ru de Thomas i think
