New Striker

[Brian Fantana]

So with Adams now making a striker even more of a priority. Who do people think we should realistically target?

Apparently a deal fell through last week. I imagine that was Barry Hayles.

Personally I am not sure if I want a youngster from a Premiership team or an experienced player like Hayles.

bet there is no one in before tuesday and we have virgo upfront lose 2-0 and thickey adams says we played well and keep the faith

Lets not be picky! I will take ANY striker, regardless of age and experience. Just having a player in our team that can call themselves a striker would be a refreshing change.

MA said it was all agreed but the player then played for his club and scored so the deal was off. Sounds like Shefti Kuqi of Crystal Palace who came on and scored for them in midweek after being told some weeks age he would never play for the club again.

 

[Black Country Seagull]

Well lets restrict the list to x players adams has managed, work out if any of them are not currently playing first team football and we may be close

 

[The French Mistress]

IF it was Hayles, he wouldn't be able to play against Leicester anyway.

 

[les dynam]

i take that as a compliment blackcountry seagull!

Darren Byfield?

 

[les dynam]

byfield turned us down before. will be somebody from either cov, colchester or stoke.

i look at the two teams yesterday, and kevin kyle is EXACTLY the type of player we need

That is the worry that other clubs can sign those type of players but we cant.

Ermmm which midweek precisely? They lost 1-0 at Birmingham on Tuesday night.

And which club was he told a few weeks back he would never play for again (coz he has played in the last 6 palace games)

Kuqi DID score on a Saturday in the Championship on 18th October ... i.e. one week ago ... and he also scored two Saturday's before that as well.


He did have a bust-up with Warnock true -- over a "gesture" he made to the fans -- but that is all water under the bridge now, and has been since late September.

True time goes by so quickly as you get older. It wasnt midweek that he scored but as you say a week ago so we can assume that he wasnt the player and 2 + 2 does not make 5.

 

[Mustela Furo]

so we can assume that he wasnt the player

any chance of a new forward by tuesday

When must they be signed by to be elligible to play before we all start scouring BBC Sport to see who came back and scored for his club midweek.

 

[jcdenton08]

Turienzo on loan?

I still don't know quite what happened there. Maybe one day somebody will write a book about it, and it'll turn out Zibi Boniek DIDN'T recommend him, but in fact it was Ali Dia pretending to be him?
