There is no point in adding a striker without creativity. We badly need a bit of flair, pace and energy in midfield too. Steady as they’ve been, Alston, McGinn and Polworth all play similarly, and in roughly the same area of the pitch. That will be fine for some games when we want to shore up but there’s no one who looks like he can produce an incisive pass or drive on past a player. Neither is there any (productive) width- a player who can get to the byline or put in a decent cross. 

I thought ICT yesterday were quicker when they got the ball, and their movement off the ball was better. When they did venture up the park they looked fairly threatening, but even when they lost the ball, we couldn’t capitalise because we were so predictable. We were slow to get forward, had few options and very little imagination and ICT were easily able to get men back behind the ball. 

By all means add a striker, but it’s only one part of the puzzle. 

Polworth isn’t similar to Alston or McGinn and Inverness were pish.

If it is Oli Shaw, neither up or down about that tbh. Upgrade on what we have, far far better technically than Innes and will score more goals. 

that said was hoping for someone better, but suppose we may find it hard to attract a better standard of striker in the championship

Don't let the reality get in the way of your obvious killie bias due to the fact we were not the best team on the park yesterday and the eventual winners were not pish.

Surely by this time the signings will be 99.9% over the line, in the onion bag, though the hoop, locked in, captured, padlocked, signed, sealed, delivered, they’re ours. Unless we're waiting on __ _ _ _ _ _ _ signing that guy from Outer Mongolia whose plane has only one engine left and smoke has been spotted on that engine.

This thread and striker search is bit like a a too long detective whodunnit novel or film, a lot of red herrings , some silly sub plots along the way and many wishing to fast forward to find out the ending ASAP …

Just hope it’s proved a successful finale

Realistically we’re fishing in a completely different pond as a championship club. 
If any half decent strikers are available they will have premiership teams having first bite then the left overs will get passed about. 

when you have the standard of lafferty last season, there is next to no chance of replacing that quality like for like. 

whoever comes in will get my backing. If it’s oli shaw no he’s not a massive name but I always thought there was something about him at Hibs. Maybe just needs the right team. 

We need movement up top more than anything. Cameron will score goals if he gets a chance but he needs to learn how to make a couple yards space for himself.

Folk in here pulling names out a hat. Stevie May, Calum Hendry, Jamie Gullan, Gavin Reilly, Guy Melamed and now Oli Shaw have all been set to sign for us according to this forum. 
 

Wait and see what happens. 

That's what this topic is for though. Speculation about players.

I mean, speculation where there is a genuine link then fair enough but people pulling random names out every other day with absolutely no proof or anything, and then people working themselves into a fit over those players becomes a bit tedious.
