ICT manager Craig Brewster has told the Press and Journal that signing another striker to partner Pittodrie hero Andy Barrowman is still his main priority.

Originally, Brewster had been keen to sign the less than prolific Callum Elliot from Hearts or Ireland under-21 cap Adam Rooney (who impressed on a weeklong trial with Inverness), both on loan deals. However the financial demands of the respective clubs may well prove too much for Brewster and co's liking.

“I have always said I need another striker.”

“Graeme Bennett has been speaking to the director of football at Stoke City about Adam Rooney.

“We are still negotiating with him and it is looking doubtful we will have him for Saturday’s game against Aberdeen.

“I have not done anything further on Calum Elliot. It depends on what happens with Rooney.

Should deals for these two players fall through, Brewster may turn to less high-profile names. Brew is rumoured to be looking at St. Johnstone striker Steven Milne and Ugandan international forward Dan Wagaluka, both of whom are expected to be on considerably less than Elliot or Rooney.

A player that has certainly proven himself at a high level (he scored 23 goals in his time with Dundee), Milne, also a former Forfar and Plymouth player, sent shockwaves around Scottish football when his impressive brace (including a spectacular overhead kick) knocked out holders Rangers in the quarter finals of the 06/07 CIS Cup. The injury prone striker has managed 23 goals in 72 games for the Saints, with the Perthshire club expected to be looking for a fee to secure his services as Milne's current contract does not expire until the summer of 2010. A St. Johnstone fan described Milne as being "the best player in the first division" when he can stay free of the knee injuries that have plagued his career.

Dan Wagaluka currently ply's his trade with Uganda Revenue Authority SC (URA) the top team in Uganda (Ugandan Premier League Champions the last two years)and is one of the key men in the Ugandan national team. Originally linked with a move to Hearts where he would join up with fellow countryman David Obua, a URA official told the Daily Monitor (a high profile Ugandan news website) that ICT boss Craig Brewster has made enquiries about bringing the tricky forward to the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium. “Since our return from the Cecafa Club Championship in Tanzania, we have been in touch with Caledonian manager Craig Brewster. He wrote to me via mail and said he will be sending an invitation letter that will contain Wagaluka’s date of departure."
