Who do people think will be better suited and therefore would do a better job for us next season if we were to sign them? Lets ignore the possibility of Reading going up just for this.
Both have pace and both are good finishers, Graham probably a bit better in the air and although he has a physique of being able to hold up the ball, he was mostly played to run onto through balls at Watford. Long was more tricky and more of a footballing striker, also has the capability of scoring longer range goals as well as being a poacher.
For me it would be Shane Long as I think if we continue with the system we play, we need a striker who will link the play but also interchange and be able to go onto the wing and beat players and score longer range goals as chances are likely to be at less of a premium next year, although we would probably have to pay a million more for him though with the financial state of the two clubs.
