Poyet Wants To Spend Big on a Striker

[Bigbelly]

Gus wants to spend big? Jesus Christ, Hope he gets it right this time. This could make or break his career.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Can you listen a bit harder? Just see if there's anyone else out there?

I'm hearing the name Hugo Rodallega, these voices believe him to be utterly useless and a bigger donkey than THE donkey, Lorenzo Pinamonte. I'm also hearing Jonathan Stead.

Adebayo Akinfenwa at Northampton. Scores goals for fun and is big. In fact he is very big. In fact he is huge. In fact he is built like the biggest brick outhouse in the Universe. Not quick or mobile, just a target man. In fact, just one massive great unit. No one beats him physically, only on the ground and in the air ( can't jump )
Will complement our ' fancy dan ' lightweight ball players, who can't play to feet or cross accurately. Sounds absolutely perfect for us.

When has he not got it right? Even Hoskins was a bargain at £500k

Sorry, exactly what has Hoskins done to be proven a bargain..Don't get me wrong, i'm not slagging Hoskins off, but bargain....He hasn't even proved value for money let alone a bargain..What is it 1 league goal and about 5 starts and 10 apps in all...Yeah I know that figure is probably not spot on, but it's not far off. If that's your idea of value for money, then the world has gone mental.

The best that we could get I think would be Jermaine Beckford but his £40k a week might be a problem unless he is prepared to come down a fair bit.

Grimsby Town were interested in signing him 4 years ago , so he can't be all that good.

Poole wanted to sign Austin 4 years ago. By that logic Austin is also crap

Akinfenwa is only useful as a bulldozer and is playing at his best level in League 2 , he isn't good enough for the Championship.

You made the classic mistake of judging him on his football skills, we want to know what he bench presses.

i dont want chris wood i want someone else

So do I. I've got to many memories of the Barnes Wood partnership.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Charlie Austin big strong striker, holds the ball up well,
knows where the back of the net is & top scorer in Championship at the moment i believe !

 

[swindonseagull]

IS Austin for sale?

Why would Burnley let the top striker go?

what partnership between them

 

[danish seagull]

No chance of Bobby Z on a season long loan once he returns from injury?? Wishful thinking :-(

 

[Frutos]

Gaizka Toquero?

 

[T soprano]

Jason Roberts

 

[bhawoddy]

You have to be fcuking joking. The only striker we have with any idea where the net is, and we should sell him to buy his partner!!??

LOL - standrd fishing attempt surely........

 

[grummitts gloves]

if it is Chris Wood I couldn't be more under-whelmed

I'll stick my neck out and agree with you there. OK, he's having a bit of a purple patch at Millwall at the moment, but I still think we need to aim a little higher (waits to be proved wrong when he gets a hat trick tomorrow night).

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He's already p1ssed Gus off with the 'not fighting for place, prefer a loan to Sheff U' stance he took last season... dead man walking IMHO...

He wanted to play near Nottingham because his wife had lost their baby daughter. He has already talked about what a horrible year he had with injuries and personal problems. That's all behind him now & I think he should start tomorrow. He was getting into good positions which is more than Dobbie seems to do, Wolves excepting.
