The new striker..

[Working class pride]

"Ideally, the striker will be six foot plus, can head the ball" ... I just dont agree. Ideally he is quick, and a fox in the box. Barca dont have a big donkey up front and we shouldnt aspire to having one either. We want a clinical finisher, a little bloke, a lower league Messi, or Linekar, r another Peter Ward.

 

[danish seagull]

I'd take almost anyway can can head a goal from a corner! We have ten odd corners every match along with shit loads of crosses and we never get in the end of yhem

Whoever he signs they gonna be stuck on their own up front. Just change the system to a 4-4-2 and save a bloody fortune. The players we
have are capable of scoring goals in an attacking system.

I like this, although I am a fan of the 'old fashioned' bruiser of a centre forward; I remember the likes of Malcolm McDonald and Joe Jordan. But I do think we have the talent already if we played it properly.

What about a central defender or midfielder getting up for a corner.

Least no one has mentioned Micheal Owen!!!!

Yet

 

[Captain Sensible]

I think he wil go to Spain or South America for a striker, lets face it, 8million for Rhodes would buy you a South American international in Brazil or Argentina.

Like Sebastien Ribas on loan at AS Monaco. 6ft 2 in from Uruguay who also holds a a dual passport as his mother was Italian..

He has at least according to Wiki, not started a game for Monaco yet...

 

[Mutts Nuts]

It's getting to that time again, Gus has said he will get a striker if he fits our style.

Realistically, who would you like us to sign.

Gus aint signing a new striker,he just blames the badly put together team of his for poor performances, rather than admitting he has too many square pegs in round holes

 

[Marshy]

IF were selling both CMS and Bridders to Norwich surely we could get Morrisson in the deal... hes about as good as we will get for that 1 up front role.

 

[BensGrandad]

It as suggested that he chose Monaco over a loan to us in the summer but as you say Ranieri hasn't played him in the team as he says he isn't ready yet.

 

[Zamoracomehome]

No chance with Roberts.

Wasn't fit for Reading's game with Sunderland, but aside from that, he's started their last 9 games in all competitions.

He's been injured.

 

[Justice]

Wish we had gone in for Le Fondre a snip at 500k would have been ideal.

 

[Southern Scouse]

Seems Nooooorwich are going to bid for CMS and Liam Bridcutt in the window.

 

[The Birdman]

Nooooooorh are using us as there feeder club they may as well close its academy and pinch are juniors. On a serious note Holt and Bennett for Bridcutt and 3 million.only a silly suggestion.plus Hebbards personal assist back?

 

[BensGrandad]

Could we tempt Sam Baldock from Bristol City he fits the bill of Sam Vokes etc but is quicker, more mobile and is good in the air. He caused us some problems when he came on against us. He proved his worth for West Ham in this division

 

[BensGrandad]

To put this all in perspective this rumour about Bridcutt and Norwich emulates from Footballrumours site.
