Actually I thought of one more who fits the bill - Al Bangoura
The thing I remember most about super al was the MOST HORRIFIC elbow i have ever seen at Orient last year.......

I do agree, but my point is that rather than sign another striker to sit on the bench, why not give Gary Hart a run out instead, or even mr Barker. If Slade had faith in youth players, maybe Steve Cook would have been getting a chance this season. I think we should try and use the youth system where we can, not just sign endless loan players who don't improve the team much/at all.
How do you know it is a player to sit on the bench?

How many first team games has OGH played since he last (looked like) scoring a goal?

No player is guaranteed to start, no player is guaranteed to sit on the bench. It's a squad game now, if we signed someone he'd start here and there, and not start at other times because we've already got Murray, Dickinson and another of Poyet's signings, Holroyd.
I'd rather we played a striker who cares about the club. OGH saved us last season, supplying the goal scoring striker. Why can't he get the same partnership going with Murray? Hart creates, Murray scores. Worked with Owusu, we stayed up. Murray is better than Owusu.
2,375.
the present squad is, at worst, middle of league 1 material. at worst. constantly hoping somebody unknown and new is going to ride in and solve our problems is deluding themselves. did you learn nothing last season?
when gus arrived he talked about restricting the number of loan signings, working with the players out on the training ground rather than taking the extremely short-term and lazy approach of signing a loan player.
for christ sake we have spent LOADS on this squad already. surely surely there is plenty there for gus and his team to work with.
The times he was effective, like at Brizzle, were when he was wide and Andrew AND Owusu were in the middle. Are you suggesting we drop Bennett for Hart

When did I suggest we drop Bennett for Hart? I didn't, Hart played up front with Owusu in the final run in (after the Andrew injury) and that's where he should be, in a 4-4-2. My point is that if Poyet signs another striker, it'll be to play with Murray. I would rather we tried Hart with Murray, or kept the front two as it was on saturday. The last thing we need is another striker, what we actually need is someone to play on the left of midfield.

I'll accept your apology now from a couple of weeks ago re me hinting that Forster was off and Holroyd was bought to replace him..........
After Andrew's injury, which was in the LAST game, at home to Stockport?
Just give up. Hart hasn't been an effective striker for five years. If you're pinning your hopes on him, we're down.

i would play Hart left midfield
that's nonsense. hart started upfront away to huddersfield, home to yeovil, home to stockport, to name just 3.
if you don't like the guy then fine, but to deny his key part in last season's escape appears vindictive. he was fairly crap before last season for a long stretch though, i'll give you that!

Well no, because Hart played up front in a 4-4-2 before that, if you look back. Hart himself came off injured against Stockport.
Pinning my hopes? What a daft comment, I would play Murray and Dickinson. But we don't need another loanee, we've got enough options up front as it is. Which was point to start with, we have enough and even have Barker if we want another. Or should we just become West Brom and sign every striker who is available? They've signed ANOTHER striker today. We don't need another one, we've already got 4 (not including Forster).

Carroll?
Perhaps they want him out of sight and he can make a few cameo appearances before he gets put in the slammer on assault charges

Stop attention seeking and tell us. Unless it's bollocks, of course.
