Pardon my iggnorance but who has he signed for?(Cardiff) i'm guessing cus your name sounds welsh. The obvious one for me would be Forrsell 25/1

[rhodri]

yes he has signed for cardiff, i think forsell is another good shout but he is usually injury prone.

He has signed for Cardiff.

Would you want to be on Forssell when a) he's a sicknote, b) he could easily play for a Premiership club or European club (and he must be on a wedge so they might have to offload him) and c) I'd expect Jerome to be the focal point of their attack.

I'm going to post up my Championship thoughts at the weekend. Perhaps by then Luton will have stopped selling players

i expect something of a cardiff feel to the topcorers list - Chopra certainly looks a good signing for Cardiff, but I'm not sure at this point how much quality his supply line will have - much will depend upon the Koumas Saga.

Looking elsewhere, Rob Earnshaw, if he can get his fitness back up, could feature and, as stated, Jerome will bag goals this season - my only concern for him will be the competition for places and I would imagine that goals will be shared out for Brum.

Its a dangerous market for me though and it wont see any of my money. Good luck to all those who enter!

[rhodri]

i was thinking about rob eanrshaw putting a few quid on that ledgend but i think if he plays well up until xmas he could be back of to the prem, jerome is a good player but i think he will get found out alot more this season started happening last 10-15 games of last season. an outside bet what about gary mcshefry

Current best odds , 50/1 Bar

Cameron Jerome	12
Robert Earnshaw	14
Nathan Ellington	18
Grzegorz Rasiak	20
Clinton Morrison	20
Mikael Forssell	20
John Hartson	20
Stephen Elliott	25
David Nugent	28
David Healy	28
Ricardo Fuller	33
Robert Blake	33
Bradley Wright-Phillips	33
Matt Fryatt	33
Michael Chopra	33
Carl Cort	33
Jonathan Stead	40
Gary McSheffrey	40
Steve Howard	40
Freddy Eastwood	40
Peter Thorne	50
Andy Gray	50
Kevin Kyle	50
Dudley Campbell	50
Dougie Freedman	50

Think Freddy Eastwood is a good value e/w shot at 40's, he has continued to step up from each level and scored goals from non-league to Div 1.

Normally one or two of the promoted teams do well and I wouldn't bet against Southend. A decent balance of young talent and experience with Eastwood and Ricketts up front they should at least score a few goals.

[aliando]

just one other thing to add - this list may not be exhaustive as the transfer window is open for another month.

[steved]

steven elliott at 25/1 is a good bet

[Football-Tipper]

Jonathan Stead for me....Drop down in class should help him and Sunderland, Was talking to his dad Wednesday (He's a driver) and he is very hopefull this year the drop in class will help him and he has already scored in the friendlys....

Think this market really is wide open. But, I'll be having an each way flutter on Jermaine Beckford, from my team, Leeds. I'm guessing he'll be somewhere round the 100/1.

A prolific scorer for Wealdstone in Non league, scoring 35 in 40. Whilst i totally realise its a huuuuuge step up for him, i've seen him in reserve games and a pre season friendly this year and he's looked as sharp as a banjo. He's got explosive pace, an eye for goal and i have no doubt he will trouble many a defence. Whether its this seaosn or not, i'm not so sure, but i'm willing to take a chance at 100/1(ish).

He is 200/1 each way with Skybet

[hornet_18]

Does nobody see great value in Ellington @ 18/1? He scored 24 a couple of seasons ago with Wigan in this league and he will be in the team every week considering Campbell has already gone and Kanu looks like he is on his way out. He is very much a confidence player and should go from strength to strength in this league.

ROBERT EARNSHAW

An excellent player with Premiership and International experience. Signed
for £3.5 million he is a real threat in front of goal and has great pace.

Earnshaw 3/10 e/w @ 15 william hill

JOHN HARTSON

Has lots of experience at the highest level and will be a constant threat in
front of goal and in the air. With Gera supplying from midfield, Hartson
should get lots of chances.

Hartson 3/10 e/w @ 19 skybet

CAMERON JEROME

Was excellent for Cardiff last season scoring . This earned him a £3 million
move to Birmingham, and he is probably the hottest property in the
Championship.

Jerome 3/10 e/w @ 13 skybet

MICHAEL CHOPRA

Has big game experience playing for Newcastle,and he is a good finisher and
could flourish in this division.

Chopra 2/10 e/w @ 34 betdirect
