Whether we sell the Chuckle Brothers or not, we clearly need a new striker that can actually score goals or offer a modicum of football ability up top to bring others into play.
We clearly don't have much spare cash to spend, otherwise we would have made more signings already.
Strikers that could improve us but not cost an arm and a leg would be Kevin Denkey or Promise David. They are both unproven in the top European leagues but that is why they are more affordable. We have seen the money that can be wasted on signing a Striker that is proven in those leagues anyway - case in point Mr Barry Chuckle.
Denkey - Big, strong, powerful and hard-working centre-forward who combines clinical finishing with intelligent movement and strong hold-up play.
Thrives inside the penalty area, attacking crosses and through balls with good timing, while also using his strength to occupy defenders and bring teammates into play. He is relentless in his pressing, is good in the air and bags goals.
He would be available for around 20m.
David - Another physically imposing, athletic centre-forward. Pace, power and a good instinct for goals. Loves stretching defences with runs in behind, attacking crosses and using his strength to hold off defenders. While his link-up play and all-round technical game are still developing, his size, mobility and finishing gives him a high ceiling.
Both would suit the current team and excel in transitions.

Or we have the cash but they don't like our manager, style of play or squad..
If money is an issue, go in for Vlahovic. Just need to find money for his wage.
