Just from having a look at some players who are currently out there as free agents:
Danny Guthrie - Been playing in Indonesia but now out of contract. Was playing with Blackburn a couple of seasons ago and may look for return to English football now his contract in Indonesia has expired. Premier League experience and could still do a job but may be slightly out of our price range given that a few Championship clubs were touting for him in the summer.
Jay Simpson - Again another former Premier League player who went to ply his trade in another country, however Simpsons contract with with Philidelphia has been terminated and he's currently training with Leyton Orient. He did a job for Orient a couple of seasons ago in league two (scored 25 goals) and could be a decent option up front for pace if Nors is to go.
Jordan Mustoe - A Birkenhead boy who's been playing in Finland for the past year. Last seen in England playing for Accrington in 2014 but went from there to Westerloo in Belgium where he was a first team regular and then to Finland. He is still only 27 though and maybe one worth looking at on trial (Grimsby were looking at him last year before he went to Finland).
Adil Nabi - Recently released by Dundee (playing in the Scottish Premiership), Nabi was once regarded as high as Berahino in the West Brom youth set up, being voted their Young Player of the Season for 2014/2015. Peterborough signed him in 2016 where he didn't play much football and he then moved to Dundee. He scored lots of goals at youth level and maybe lost his way so it would be a gamble...but he's only 24 and a striker never loses it surely?
More just for interest than doing the scouts job for them! Guthrie could be a coup though...and maybe worth taking a chance on Simpson given he's still only 30.
