I take all the points about operating as we are, but there will be times when we will be need the option that a physical and mobile striker can bring, such as Cardiff at home last year when they sat deep and it was difficult to break them down. I also think we need them on board sooner rather...
would be happy with a player of this type, we need that the physical attributes provided by someone like Nile Ranger. Would be surprised if it was him with the baggage he brings.
think gus comments indicate that we are looking to sign a striker. We are lightweight in that area particularly with Hoskins and CMS injured presently. Would be very surprised if we left it until the end of the window and hope/expect someone in before Swindon and hull.
I understand the preference for transfer rather than loan but would rather we cut our losses so to speak at some point and move to the loan option rather than wait to transfer window closes before getting someone in. I think we need someone sooner rather than later and if it is the loan player...
having listened to Gus comments last night re CMS, he certainly could have done more to deny that the Leeds link was possible. If we were to accept an offer for CMS and uise that money for a forward better suited to our style and no I have no ideas as to who it will be, I think that would be...
Not sure we will be looking at a partner for CMS. Looking at the squad I can see us operating with 1 up top meaning we are looking for a mobile strong forward who can link play and enable the midfield to join up. and score some goals of course!
would love Mutu but not sure he fits my...
Can I amend for 10th to 12th. I had high hopes that hoskins would suit our system better than CMS and with his injury think we will struggle in forward areas. This 12th assumes the squad goes into the season as it is now, which I hope is incorrect.
whilst I trust gus and the team with signings I do think this means we have to act sooner rather than later as regards a striker signing. I believe we may have gone into the season with our current strike force whilst the negotiations continued for the key forward but with Hoskins now out and...
getting silly with all these rumours, hopefully something will happen soon so I can get on with some work!
Going to be positive today and take the line in the argus re being no nearer to signings to mean same position as last week when we were in the closing stages of negotiations rather than no...
would love today to be the day for a signing, but reading Brian Owens tweet he says that Gus didn't suggest yesterday that they were close, so I guess I will have to be calm for a few more days.
was very confident we would be getting people in before we went on tour but now feeling pessimistic and think it will be shortly before the end of the transfer window and we will start the season with the players we have.
I am more than happy to be very wrong and get the abuse about this and...
We have done some great business so far but I need a new transfer fix soon so I can stop my looking for searching the internet endlessly and get on with my life.
