    Could the likes of Connor Wickham or Lewis Grabban have done a job for Barnsley, both were/are free agents

    Grabban maybe on a 12 month deal, if the money was right. He's 34 though, and probably after one last pay day.

    I'd say lower league 1/2 is Wickham's level and I won't shed a tear about him going to FGR.

    Nah, I'd rather have Brad Collins in goal than Lewis Grabban.

    Grabban would 100%, but 100% he wouldn't come to us either. He turned down a new contract with forest in the premier league, so I assume he has plenty of clubs wanting him. Wigan, Rotherham, Hull, Blackpool, Bristol City, Millwall etc etc surely would take a punt on him. Thats just the championship sides. Unless ofcourse he gets offered silly money from the likes of Wednesday & Derby somehow

    Wickham has scored 10 goals in the last 5 years (1 in 15 in League 1 last season) and has only made 50-odd appearances in that time. Average of around 0 appearances per season and only an average of 20 per season across his whole career

    If no-one had heard of him we'd be saying that's a terrible record

    Every time I’ve seen Grabben play he’s worked his balls off, I don’t see him being a Lita 2.
    Won’t happen sadly

    Wickham will have to keep his Love Island WAG Maura Higgins happy. I think he will have a good season like when Jarrod Bowen started dating Dani Dyer.

    I'd have Connor, purely on the basis that I think he's more of a footballer than Cole is

    Saido Berahino is still a free agent. Got 8 goals and 4 assists last season for Fowls and was often used on the right of a front 3 too.

    I know there have been past concerns over his attitude but didn't seem to have any of those problems last year from what my Fowl supporting mates say. Surely he would be better than Cole etc.

    Know it isn't the best record ever but we know we can't afford the 20 goal players so have to shop a little further down the pecking order.
