Wonder if we might make a loan move for Jamie Donley NI striker after tomorrows game, he would be an excellent option off the bench for us quick and a good finisher.

No thanks, why would we want another undeveloped 19 year old kid on loan, who has never played mens football or scored a professional goal.
We need an experienced No.9

With Agyei and Kelman and Perkins waiting to back them up I would think that we are not going to spend money on another senior striker who is unlikely to start.

Only one of those is able to play up top as a 9 adequately in the system Richie uses….

Kelman can do it, he's far far better in that role than pushed out wide.

With that forward line, if Dan Agyei gets injured and is out for a period of games, we need more than just Kelman and Perkins.
Plus we need to manage Dan Agyei mins & game time.
need an experienced striker, I have said it on more than one post, Mo Eisa if he is available would be perfect.

RW won't play Three up front, it will likely be his preferred 4-2-3-1, so at the moment ....
Hemming
Clare - Beckles - Happe - James
Brown - Warrington.
Kelman* - Galbraith - O'Neil
Agyei
*Graham when fit. Might be tempted to start Obeiro in place of Kelman who can replace Dan A as needed.

I like Kelman and he will prove to be a good signing, but for me he is not a back up 2nd striker, he is a 3rd striker, Perkins 4th.
We need a No.9 as a direct replacement to cover Agyei, with Kelman and Perkins coming off the bench to replace either.
We need more than just Kelman & Perkins as cover for Agyei.
If Dan Agyei stays fit he will score 15-20 goals
Kelman & Perkins will score 5-10 between them.
We need another No.9 who will chip in with 10+ goals.

Not adequately. He gets physically bullied by centre halves, nor is he quick enough to worry them going the other way.

Sorry to disagree with some on here but Kelman is not good enough if he were QPR wouldn’t have let him go and Wigan would have taken him back. You will be lucky to get 8 goals from him let alone 10.

I think Kelman is going to do just fine and certainly a lot better than the naysayers on here think.
I trust RW’s judgement, he sees Kelman every day in training and he knows exactly what he is capable of.
Just hope we can sign Charlie and the end of what should be a very good season for him.
We still need another striker though, Agyei will have to be managed in terms of minutes, if not he will be out for another lengthy spell.

Kelman and Agyei have featured together in friendlies so far this season, not seen in which formation though.

First half in Spain Agyei down the centre on his own Kelman on the right of three just behind
Second half - Agyei went off and Kelman played up top on his own, he was our best player and carried a goal threat.

Spurs clearly do not care about the late JE. Just playing lip service, No money in it for them so they send the kids. They could not care less. Levy only interested in £££££
