Who to replace Gary?
At half-time whilst everyone was waiting for Sheff U to have the courtesy to come back onto the pitch, Uwe took the opportunity to have an extended discussion with James Beattie.
As the game closed out, Uwe then looked to be having further discussions with Danny Wilson about Beattie.
They don't need him - I'm sure he could be useful for us.

In the interview with Uwe after the game today, he said a striker to come in for this season ..

Uwe was indeed talking to Wilson close to the end of the game - but you must be a psychic or a lipreader to know what it was about!
Southampton background aside, I've never liked Beattie - and I can't see that he's the kind of player to put in much of an effort as a loan player. Unless the club have a big surprise up their sleeves, or someone who could sign on permanently for next season, I think whoever is signed has to be prepared to spend most of their time on the bench. I can't see them being a better bet than Berahino, and (while I'm sure many will disagree) I'm for keeping the faith with Donaldson.

DJ Campbell on loan would be good. Coming back from injury, can't get in QPR squad and hopefully they would be willing to subsidise most of his wages.

Always liked him, maybe a chance with them in administration.

Can't agree with keeping faith with Donaldson, hope we can cut and run with him at the end of the season.

We were sitting right behind them and from lip-reading and them both looking towards Beattie on the bench, it seemed very clear to all of us which player was the focus of the discussion.

Fair enough - seems a funny way to do business though! I thought managers saved this kind of thing to discuss over a bottle of wine in the office - or is that just a Ferguson thing?
Did anyone see Beattie getting back on the United coach?
Who to replace Gary?
Agree magic. I think the season was based on Donaldson firing the goals and his dismal return sadly sabotaged Uwes grand plan. Next stop Wycombe I hope.

Beattie would be a decent signing, we need some experience in the side and some toughness

Rather have somebody like there number 8 for next season.

34 years of age. No doubt on a whack at Sheff Utd. I've never liked him - always thought he was over-rated. In fact i'd be a bit p!ssed off if we did sign him.

Simeon Jackson. Said it 2 years ago when we could have got him for a lot less and hasn't he performed ever since. Depending n the "undisclosed amount" we received for the betrayer, would decide whether we could now afford him.

Seems to me that as soon as any striker whose scored goals elsewhere puts on our beloved tops he flops big style!

I dont really wanna see us waste any money on a striker this season. We arent gonna get the play offs especially as all the results on saturday went against us. Save the money and put it towards next season when we can give it a proper go.

I hope we get a good one in. I'll be at all the remaining home games and I want us to win as many as possible of our remaining fixtures, score goals and finish as high as possible in the table.
Maybe a team or two above us will be docked points. You never know the way football finances are these days.

That would be Simeon Jackson who started yest for Norwich in the Prem, and got the assist.
Yup, can see him coming down to 10th place Brentford

Of all the names mentioned so far I think Wilbraham is the most realistic and most likely.

I agree, save the money and give forrester a chance up front as cover

Disagree. Regardless of whether we can go up or not there's still plenty of football to be played. If the club is going to save its money then the supporters may as well too.

Went to the one at Crawley and you can just walk up.Played at the training ground in Bewbush,so im guessing its the same at Jersey Road.

Have to agree with your last point,lf we can get some players in on loan/permanent deals and start doing the reverse with our current contracted players who we want to move on.The sooner we can start planning and recruiting for next season the better.

Yes, but I would rather have a good prospect to start next season than waste the budget on another Grella to appease the loss of a senior striker.
The season is beyond us now, I want to see passion and fight but it is all about making sure we get it right at the next attempt now IMO. And that means taking the time between now and next season to get our squad sorted.
Another young loanee for the last 10 games won't get us to the play-offs, won't help us for next season, if we get one... fine, but if we don't it is no major loss either.

The name Greg Wilde was mentioned to me yesterday.Alan Kernaghan would know all about him through his Ibrox days.Free agent as he was released with the Swedish lad from Glasgow based football club.21 next week plays as a winger.Not a direct replacement for Gary Alex,but a position we have to look at.
Who to replace Gary?
He's beenn talking with a host of Premiership teams, including Villa and Everton. Very highly regarded and walked because he knew he could get something bigger in England.

We need a new striker because
1. We must keep faith with the fans as there are still nearly a dozen games to go and the season is not dead
2. We only have 2 other first team strikers
3. We need a decent blend of striker and now lack a targetman
4. There is no one else in the squad who can fill that role and the 2 in the Development squad are not considered ready to play first team football
5. It would be helpful if any new striker is a potential signing for next year too and is auditioning for place at GP

As we have Niall Mcginn on loan from Celtic,couldnt we enquire about Paddy McCourt with a view to a loan?
Who to replace Gary?
Can't make anymore international loans, besides, Paddy could walk into a championship team

Thanks for me answer.Was just a thought.Paddy and Wilde down the flanks would slaughter this league next season.Both quality wide men who could bring the best out of our striker/s.Whoever that may be.

It's no use saying, "save the money till next season." As it doesn't work like that. If Uwe gets, just for this exercise, £3 mill budget, he can't then ask for the £50k he didn't use last season!
The budget is there to be spent by the end of this season. Next years budget will be whatever the exec board and MB says it is.
So,if there is monies available to Uwe, then I'm sure he's working hard to find suitable players to spend it on.
Also, you can't just send back loanees, it just wouldn't go down well.

Perhaps Uwe could look to do to someone else what Crawley have just done to us ( only with upsetting too many applecarts).

Do you work in local government ?
Surely if you had £50k and you didn't spend it between March and July, you would still have it in August ?
Anyway, I think we should use the substantial fee generated by the Alexander off load to go for it NOW, for largely the reasons identified by North London Bee.
It's a shame that we have sold our two most productive strikers this season, with no back up plan in place, but time to move on and bring the next one in !

What about Buzz Bee, he's big and awkward, more pace than Gary Alexander and more all round threat than all our other strikers put together.
