    He would be decent back up on a free. Will always get goals and was a good link up player which we are missing. Still need a first team ready striker that can link the play with Eddy playing off him. Much like the Moussa/Eddy link up we were all raving about before injuries etc * it.

    This “Aye * it he’d be a decent backup and I like him” chat is exactly what happened with Izzaguire. Get this so far to *. We need a major clear out regarding wages, don’t need this mercenary coming in and hoovering up £15k+ a week to play 10 games a season and score 3 goals.

    Literally zero point in getting him, with Eddy Griff and Bayo there we do need another striker but not has beens. Griff might come back in and be firing on all cylinders banging in the goals, Bayo might surprise us all and be quality already to challenge Griff and Eddy.

    Thats too many 'mights' for my liking. From where im looking Bayo has huge question marks over his head, the signs don't look too promising if I'm being honest. Griffiths is a proven goalscorer but even before his break from the game he was a poor 2nd when it came to what he & Moussa could offer us in their all round game.

    I would say we need 2 new strikers considering the options we currently have. Hooper definitely isn't the answer but I don't think Bayo is and in a perfect scenario Griff would only be a competent back up.

    What you expecting from Bayo? He got a bad injury just as he was nearing match sharpness with the reserve team. For 2.5M I want to see him given a chance before writing him off.

    We need defenders in first and foremost anyway.

    Have a friend who’s mates with him down south. Rumour is we've approached his agent. Don’t shoot the messenger.

    I’d take him back. Resigning players isn’t always a backwards step. He would still do a job for us and isn’t as old as some make out. Really good striker for us best we have had in last 10 years bar moussa.

    The reason guys like him and Ledley don't have clubs is because they're * done absolutely no interest in him coming back whatsoever.

    In one. Unless Lenny has a Delorean, this shouldn't even be discussed.
