As Stairs says, Archer would be my first choice. Newcastle seem to be interested in Joao so I think we can be pretty sure he’ll have more attractive offers than the Albion. As for McBurnie, the guy couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo, he’s dreadful and hasn’t scored since December 2020; I’ve seen him when he’s played for Scotland and he’s been awful - so we’ll probably sign him as it’s just what we need, a non-scoring forward (Zohore Mark II). I’d also be ok with Grabban who has a very good record at this level. At 34, he’s not “one for the future” but we need a goal scorer now. While not even remotely putting him in the same breath as Kevin Phillips, Superkev joined us at a similar age as I recall and being surplus to requirements at Villa……and the rest is history. If we got 50% of his contribution out of Grabban, it would be a decent return, I reckon.
