Argus: Gus chasing top striker

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Mark McCammon?

According to The Sun, Leicester have offered £15,000 per week. Think that rules us out, although it's less than the £22,000 we are paying CMS!!!

Or, we'll be signing him in two days:

We're going to sign Zamora and announce it on the pitch before kick off tomorrow....I wish.

Don't forget that once Elphick and El-Abd are back (both of whom Poyet rates), we would have too many centre halves - which is a much less rotated position than striker.

Perhaps Poyet is thinking a bit longer term, even if it does mean that we could potentially be a bit stretched for the first month.

Sam Vokes - striker - available - experienced

 

[Thunder Bolt]

That would be a cracking signing as he could not only play as an out-and-out striker but also in behind the front two as Bennett did.

I think Buckley will be playing behind the front two in the Bennett role.

I have absolute confidence in Dunk, I have no concerns with him stepping up to the Championship having seen him in Portugal against PSG and their strike force.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Buckley could count towards the 5 strikers? More so than Bergkamp I'd think

 

[Napper]

Strikers always welcome.

If anyone thinks El Abd and Elphick are top 6 championship defenders they are tripping

If no one else signed at the back then lets hope Dunk is all that

I agree, Dunk can be an asset,.... Elphick however is a liability and should have been shifted out..... he is a hoofer, surprised Gus keeps him on that basis alone.

 

[brightonmark1234]

need a centre half more then a forward

Gus rates him, he didn't do much wrong against Pompey or Watford, so I think your opinion might be slightly biased.

In the article where it says a "big striker" does this mean size, or reputation?

At a guess, i'd imagine the bigger target man type of striker, Hoskins, CMS and Ash are all similar to a degree. We only have Bergkamp in the other category and if he's not ready or injured..........

A ricardo fuller, john carew type player is my guess

 

[Mendoza]

I saw Peter Ward in town yesterday lunch time, could it be him....

I think Magic's knees will say otherwise

I agree with this, the regular cb's have their limitations, we will need a really good quality cb to improve further unless dunk turns out to be top quality or perhaps the new boy branco similarly ends up being really good

Alan Smith to leave Newcastle ...?

Billy Sharp and Lansbury please....hehe
