We do need someone with only one fit first team striker.

If true is it really worth bringing in a young injury hit player from another club that is probably more of a Dex type player when we could give young Tyler Walker a try?. Who we don't really have a like for like replacement for.

Tyler walker would also struggle in the lone striker role. Mad to think people want to through him straight in.
I couldn't tell you, but he has played and scored (i think) in the Prem. So probably more so than Tyler right now

Presumably we're a better choice than Boro because he'd be first choice here

I doubt many people (myself included) have actually seen Walker play.

I have. He definitely looks the part for the U-18s/U-21s but, in my view, is far from ready for the big team. I'd argue that Bamford was considerably nearer at the same stage of his development.
Crucially though, Cotterill, for unfathomable reasons given our lamentable goals return at the time, didn't agree. A decision that possibly hastened Bamford's departure.

I saw Walker play at York City, I only really remember him making an awful miss.

Yeah, but, come on - less than 4 years ago Southampton were still in League 1. We're an established Championship side. We haven't been in League 1 for 6 or 7 years. :hey:
Brought on against Norwich in the 90 something minute to waste a bit of time and scored.

Yep, now if hes a lee chapman type big man then id be happy with that
Gallagher would have played many more games in the Premier League this season were it not for injury. He's part of Southampton's first team plans not just for the future but also the present.
Whether we want another injury prone player - on loan or not - is another matter entirely!

Walker is still basically a kid. He's not physically ready yet to play 1st team football. Maybe in 6 months/a year he will be worth considering.
put it over the bar from 2 yards out if I remember right

Dougie says he's not been interested in Sam Gallagher. No approach or interest.
