We have an interesting period coming up in January. Auba will be away with Gabon. Laca has six months on his deal, so will be getting offers and the last chance to make some money off him. If both are gone, we will be lacking a striker for a critical period of 1-2 months.
The next option is Martinelli or Balogun. But they aren’t getting a steady run of games and have almost a decade less experience than the senior strikers.
We just signed a Danish kid called Mika Biereth who is on fire but he’s an academy player.
And of course we have two strikers on loan, Moller and John-Jules. Neither of whom are doing well.
I think we have no choice but to offer Laca a new deal.
