Ok he's only scored two goals for Cambridge this season but it's not another goalscorer we need, it's somebody who can lead the line and cause all kinds of problems for the whole 95 minutes.
He dominated our defenders this afternoon, can head a ball but holds it up so well bringing his mates into play.
We need players like him and fast. I fear this season is yet another over before Xmas and all we can do now is build for next season but lets get one thing straight, playing kids who are nowhere near ready and in one or two cases never will be, has to stop now!

I like him, the club like him, would fit in perfectly and is just what we need.
Will be very interesting to see if he is recalled by Ipswich in 10 days time.
A player we can afford, just depends if they want to sell.
Im not going to comment any further as I want the club to do the talking but it's worth keeping an eye on.

A lower league striker with only 44 career appearances and 7 goals ?
Being realistic, he’d be another lower league punt.
I’d rather see us sign a grizzled and experienced leader up front - Lee Gregory, or David McGoldrick. Someone of that ilk is needed. We are too soft & lightweight.

He's not an out and out goalscorer though. Instead he creates a bit of a presence, caused all kinds of problems for Hector and Jones, finds pockets of space and holds the ball up extremely well for the 'late' runners. What he gives you is that second phase of play by shielding and retaining the ball should the initial attack break down. He also scores from corners as we found to our cost. He's at Ipswich as is the striker some fans crave for, Ladapo. I know which one I prefer. |

Both seem to have a very similar playing style and presence |

Cambridge are not lower-league they are in the same division as us.

This is the sort of cheap option we will go for. Rather than the proven option like JCH. but of course he will cost decent money and we clearly don’t have it. So back to the bargain bin we go.

Why do you call him a cheap option? Pointless having JCH when there is a lack of creativity all over the pitch.

Because he will be cheaper to buy than the likes of JCH or Humphrey’s. Agree the lack of creativity will affect JCH however in fairness it will affect any striker we buy.

Was he playing is a side with an average age of under 20? I’m sure that some of our young players would look outstanding if surrounded by players in their late 20s. Our problem isn’t one of the young players, it’s having too many of them playing at the same time. |

I know he is on loan from Ipswich but he lacks the experience we sorely need right now. JCH has scored over 100 league one goals, his attitude may stink but we need players that can make a big and immediate impact. I am very confident JCH would do just that if we were to sign him. |
