With Big Smith gone, we will need two. Hogan plus who do you reckon? |  |

I can’t see MW letting big Smith go without having another striker lined up.
But, this is QPR. |  | | |

I have high hopes Oteh can play a big part this year. His performance against Leeds in the FA Cup was excellent and very promising. He’s physical and quick enough. First touch and reading of the game still TBC, but i’m hopeful.
Lewis Walker I just don’t see making it from what i’ve Seen and what Smegma has said from watching him more than anyone.
So we’re talking about hoping one lad has his break through season. We need 3 more forwards for a Champ campaign because we will get injuries. We struggled last season with Smith, Wells, Hemed, Oteh, and even Sylla last year!
Bloody tough ask to find 3 forwards, at least 2 of Champ standard, hopefully getting 30+ goals between the 4 of them with 5 weeks to go. Surely we have a couple lined up and Smith’s sale was to free up some cash. |  | | |

I was shocked the budget stretched to Barbet so who knows if Hogan really is attainable. But yeah you pray the club have some other cunning ideas too. |  | | |

Warburton comes across as being a very methodical person, clearly building from the back and the Club are doing a great job of coordinating signings to reinforce this.
Last season, we had a very strong midfield on paper (Freeman, Luongo and Pav), but of course they were always looking over their shoulders trying to bail out a very shaky back three, four or five.
So far (assuming we are going to lose Freeman and Luongo), so to date we have a well balanced looking squad:
GK: Lumley / Kelly
RB: Furlong / Kakay
CB: Hall / Leistner
CB: Babet / Furlong
LB: Wallace / Manning
DCM: Amos / Babet
CM: Smith / Scowen / Manning
RM: BOS / Shodipo / Eze
LM: Eze / Chair / Manning
"10": Eze / Smyth
"9": ? / ? / Oteh
Only two places to fill, using a bit of the cash (in fee and/or salary saving) expected for Freeman and Luongo.
I'm looking forward to next year - that'll last until mid-August I am sure. |  | | |

No way are we getting three new strikers in.
There's this FFP thing. |  | | |

I wonder if crouch has signed a new contract recently.
Out of contract at the moment... surely the club could give him a new iPhone with a 12 month contract | | | |

Jonson Clarke-Harris from Bristol Rovers anyone? | | | |

Indeed
I recall he played for Rotherham against us years ago and I thought he was a great prospect then. Think he was out for a while with an ACL?
I’d take a punt on him.
I think we need three strikers in myself!
We’ve lost 3 now in Smith, Wells and Hemed (bit of a stretch that last one I know) and I don’t think Oteh can step up at the moment due to his loan deal being far from successful. Really hoping Warbs can sign two for a pittance and also get a loan in to supplement |  |

Perhaps we should have kept Lynch. He played as an extra forward a couple of times when we were chasing a game in extremis, to quote a dead language 🤮 |  | | |

At the moment the team looks set to play a False 9 system. Warburton doesn't use a Plan B. So be surprised, but not shocked, if we don't get any strikers in. This system does rely on the front three getting at least 10 goals each and with other players chipping in with a few. |  | | |
| Strikers on 21:47 - Jul 1 with 2985 views | Northernr |
I think we'll just go in with Oteh, nobody else.
I don't think this obviously, but I'm looking forward to a month of panic on here and social media about that being the case. |  | | |

You would expect the club to have a replacement striker lined up.
But this is QPR. |  |

Spurs Academy bloke we spoke to today for the Amos piece said he'd heard more Spurs juniors would be coming our way while Warburton is here, with another deal all but agreed and ready to go. What child strikers do they have? | | | |
| Strikers on 22:21 - Jul 1 with 2790 views | Gloucs_R |
We've also been linked to the Donny striker John Marquis
The other villa striker who can't score for toffee
Kazaiah Sterling had been mentioned, but seems very similar to Oteh
Wheeler can play up front of we are really short. | |

I really want Warburton to succeed but I have a bad feeling that letting big Matt go is a huge huge mistake. One that may come back to haunt us. Other teams have played with a false number 9 but I get the feeling we will be playing with a false forward line. |  |

Troy Parrott would be very nice... but Kaziah Sterling seems the obvious candidate.
I was looking at their youth squad the other day, really you could see plenty ending up here at some point. Mainly plenty of midfielders at the tipping point though, which we don't really need now. Modern football for you I suppose... | | | |

The only one with any game time is Kazaiah Sterling. |  | | |

I don't think for a minute we'd have let Smith go without at least one striker being incoming and I do agree we could do with three but I just can't see us getting that many. I could see one established and one gamble/loan coming in though. I would be happy with that tbh. | | | |

You're right, he was much less of a liability up front than he was at the back. |  |

Letting Big Smith go, even if he was i the last year of his contract doesn't seem too clever at the moment.
From last year's side, assuming both Freeman and Luongo also go, we've lost these goals
Wells - 9
Matt Smith and Freeman - 8 each
Hemed - 7

That's 46 goals we are down. For a side that doesn't score prolifically that is a big hole in the side. | |

Yes but if Amos and Smith mkII score 23 each, we're fine. [Post edited 2 Jul 2019 16:11]
