Iām seriously questioning why he didnāt get a striker in August when there was an obvious need of one. All through the pre-season friendlies we needed one but none appeared which is why he grabbed onto the first forward that came along in September (1 month after the season started) and we ended up with Ciftci.
Now, since we knew that was a bust, why didnāt he strive to have a striker lined up as soon as this window started. It isnāt like managers are banned from talking to each other in between windows. Toumani left soon after the window opened so it doesnāt sound right that a deal couldnāt have been sorted before.
If itās true that Bradford have had 3 bids turned down for Taylor it appears theyāre not going away easily so whilst weāre unlikely to end up selling Taylor itās not out of the realms of possibility that we wonāt find ourselves with a seriously peed off player after this window closes. That is speculation of course.

Ciftci was not a terrible signing on paper and DA would have seen what he was capable of in his prime at Dundee Utd, a club not dissimilar from us in many ways, including preferred playing styles, so I donāt seem him as the bargain basement signing you do. It didnāt work out. He also tried his best to sign Simon Church too, letās not forget. Also need to beat in mind the change in loan rules, so August is the only time for any deals with contracted players. As for having players lined up ready at the start of the window, regrettably with the power of agents touting for the best deal, that simply isnāt how it works anymore.
Diagouraga was on a short term deal that worked out exceedingly well for both parties. We did the best we could do to retain him, but couldnāt.
As for Taylor, heās on to a good thing here and of course were he to leave, we would be, temporarily, severely deficient up front to put it mildly.
As for the imminent arrival of Vyner, it is competition for places and by all suggestions a good signing. I see no point in knocking DA if he can bring in players that improve the quality of the squad.
If we are on here with the deadline shut with no additions up front, then we will all be massively disappointed.
Ade, signing a striker is little to do with Derek.
He tells the board who he wants, it is up to the board to sign him. You can bet your last penny Derek wants his signings asap.

Hmm not sure this was a priority area to be honest.
A replacement for Toums or 2 strikers (with all the ones leaving) maybe three if Taylor is sold.
Perhaps this means either Oscar replacing Toums, Miller leaving Or a replacement for Bradley. Cant see him.being cover.
Anyway we always do ok with City loanees and he is Championship standard so welcome.
I cant understand DA and strikers. If Taylor is sold we are in doodoo

If thatās the case then that explains everything. Martyn Starnes left to sort out the deals doesnāt fill me with confidence.

Iād say signing a striker or rather finding a striker is exactly to do with DA. We donāt have a director of football and so it is up to Adams to come up with a player that suits the style he wants to play, has a chance to fit in with the kind of people in the team and is within a likely budget. I for one believe if Adams had such a target that as with Bradfordās attempts to secure Taylor that JB would be every bit as forceful once the targ t has been found.

Get a grip man!
As if he's not trying to get one in, give him some credit, please.
Good quality target men don't come easy nor do they come cheap. If they're good enough to compete with Taylor then they can get first team football at most L1/L2 clubs. When they look at Argyle they see a team playing a 1 man system with a forward at the top of his game, hardly prime location if you want to play every week.
We won't go without, either Taylor leaves and we end up with a serious war chest to replace him or he stays and we get someone in later in the window when the competition starts to dry up.
Worst case we have Taylor and Jervis and have to recall Fletcher or Blissett. We still have forwards remember it's not as if we sold them.
In terms of the signing; great news if true.
We do need a defender, if rumours are to be believed we're losing Sokolic who can't buy a place on the bench anyway. Songo'o is our only cover in both midfield and defence, Oscar might have to play in midfield, there's mutterings of Bradley having suitors. Getting a defender is surely a must.
Do people really want Adams to look at positions one at a time in order of our desperation? He'd be bleddy stupid if he did. He'll have a shopping list and will have enquired about everyone on it. Responses are then down to clubs, players and agents. When they come back to us we try and get something sorted. I'd have thought it was obvious but response times are out of our hands.

Just a long shot but with Luke Berry probably joining from āLutonā maybe thereās an agreement with Bradley going the other way hence the need for a centre back ???
