[Albion] Albion in the market for another Striker

[Hyperion]

So we could be getting another striker before the window closes http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/11431538._/?

To me, the Baldock saga ended when Colunga joined and Steve Cotterill's & Bristol City's Over valuation of Baldock cost them a big incoming transfer fee.

Albion have stated before they won't pay over the odds for players and I assume BCFC saw our incoming transfer dealings and rubbed their hands together which has not worked IMO

As much I don't think we are looking for an Ulloa replacement in terms of height, I think Sami is looking for a physical presence up front

It's going to be an interesting week

 

[nevergoagain]

The last weeks activity by us has ruined my plan for deadline day. Not happy, will be forced to do some work now.

 

[Up the albion]

To be honest i dont see us signing anyone else apart from maybe that guy from cork

Good, right move in my mind. We are definitely lacking a physical presence.

Shock, horror.

Th Argus piece looks somewhat similar to the one the club published 24 hours ago - http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/article/hyypia-we-have-quality-across-the-board-1870695.aspx

Definitely an Argus rehash of the story. I should have posted the official website link but it results in the same story I guess.

I have not read that other link you posted to your 'blog'

Where are these located on NSC?

Agreed. Which is why Tapatalk might be going soon.

Ah okay. I do like it's basic format but a lot of things either crash or some NSC options are not available.

 

[Napper]

Hope we get one. 4 capable strikers should be the target

There is another option - NSC has a built-in mobile friendly version.

O'Grady has physical presence.

 

[Hyperion]

O'Grady has physical presence.

Probably not the quality though.

 

[Machiavelli]

Probably not the quality though.

Which makes me think, why was he bought, something I'm also thinking about McCourt. These thoughts will only multiply if Bozza, HKFC and Edna (quite a combination) are right, and we'll be buying another forward.

 

[Skaville]

O'Grady has physical presence.

Hardly Ulloa though is he. I'd still like to see an option on the bench who is big, strong and powerful in the air.

I've seen the 3 games he's played this season and COG IMO looks pretty poor. At Birmingham he was awful (but to be fair so were most of the side) and I think we definitely need 1 more striker and knowing the club it wouldn't surprise me if he came in from abroad as well. Any club can make a mistake or two in transfer dealings and I think COG and possibly Toko might be 2 that we regret.

Plenty of time for them both yet. The Tykes raved about COG. It might well depend on the system we play and the chance he gets of a run in the side. He can't be anyone of a disaster than Hoskins, Harley , Farrington or Peake

I agree. If plan A is to deploy fast, nimble, technical players, why would Sami want a second (out of what would then be still only 5) classic, big #9? That would especially be the case if any new player were to be a big money signing....

It would make more sense if any further striker fitted the plan A mould.

I would also observe that currently we have 26 players in the squad, so we're already 1 over. I'm guessing that Maksi might be going out on loan. If another striker comes in - perhaps one of the existing four exits, temporarily or permanently?
