Poyet Wants To Spend Big on a Striker

[Pavilionaire]

If Keane was after a short-term deal then why come to us and not QPR? Or Sunderland? Or Newcastle?

10 in 43 games

Lol..yeah just noticed that for some reason i thought he got 20+...my mistake...Still he would fit in well atm lol.

 

[Foolg]

PS he's strong, can hold the ball up, and scores with both feet and his head. His shots and headers are like bullets.

All the articles from when he signed for Olympiacos suggest he's on £25k a week, probably out of our league. Is he playing week in week out?

Whoever asked about Nicky Maynard, he's at Cardiff out for about 6 months with an injury.



Fraizer Campbell, Becchio, Dj Campbel, struggling to name too many.

one word GUS.

There are plenty of strikers around who are about the same level as CMS, Barnes, Dobbie, Hoskins and I suspect we could easily pay £5m for one of them. A proven goal machine (or a younger gun with obvious potential to become one) will cost a lot more than that, or demand premier league wages - and therefore favour a move to a premier league club, you'd imagine.

We talk about "the elusive goalscorer" as if it's a person you could go out and sign tomorrow but I can't think who we'd be likely to get that easily. But no doubt Gus will be slagged off when he fails to pull a rabbit out of the hat in the January window.

He should be. He's had, what, 18 months since Murray left.

There is only one man to galvanise our promotion push.

This John Guidetti from City is an interesting prospect. City have been quoted as saying they want to loan him out now that he's just recovered from illness. He banged in 20 goals in 23 appearances in 2011/12 for Feyenoord, so he'll piss this division. We also have that City connection via the Wayne Bridge deal.

Many clubs will be after him.

This!

 

[B.W.]

CMS maybe?

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!!??

You mean Mr Movember - Michael Owen?

 

[B.W.]

i think he will be italian and from manchester not Balotelli

Macheda... I've heard that rumour too. But just a rumour.

May 2012, you may be to new to know who the saviour is.

Yes an improvement on what we have - but not the answer

 

[Napper]

Whoever it is you would hope it is in place for the first week of jan . Piss arsing about until jan 31 st and we may have to many points to catch up. As things stand a win tomorrow is essential to stay in touch .

 

[B.W.]

Exactly! - If we do can someone in then i reckon we need to offload at least 2 players - CMS & ?

Gus doesnt inspire me with confidence in his signings TBH

Seriously... CMS... you need help!!

 

[BensGrandad]

Southampton are being linked with a number of strikers, so as a long shot I wonder if we could steal Lambert from them and what would he cost.

 

[El Sid]

Probably, unless Peter Ward's making a comeback with Spider.

 

[B.W.]

We could be getting up to 3 strikers I imagine if CMS and/or Hoskins moves on in January.

CMS = no way. Hoskins must be a dead man walking after his finishing on Sat.

Pretty patronising quote there.

 

[Stat Brother]

Pretty patronising quote there.

Not intended, but just pointing out I spent the first half of the year rumourising Drogba's imminent arrival.

I do/did have every intention to carry it on, but I don't seem to have the heart for it, at the moment.

 

[Oscar]

I just one a f'ing big, monster of a striker who's quick, lethal, skillish and of course flair. Drogba would do if no one else is available.

Oh, and he has to have secretly always been a Brighton fan.

I'm waiting...
