If YOU could chose 2 realistic players to sign..

[1066familyman]

Christian Bekamenga.

He's EXACTLY what we need. Proven goalscorer, PHENOMENAL in the air but got lightning pace too.

How he hasn't moved to a bigger club yet is anyone's guess. Make it happen.

Good shout.

Phenomenal goalscoring record, although clearly at a lower level. Doesn't necessarily mean he wouldn't cut it at Championship level though. Looks to be big and strong, good with his back to goal and also good with his head.

Could be exactly the sort of gamble worth taking, if we're struggling to get anyone proven in. If he turned out to be another Vetokele, in terms of goals to shots ratio, then we'd be laughing.

 

[Biscuit]

Vaz Te and Ward.

 

[fat old seagull]

murray will sign for reading

Like Stephen Ward will sign for us ?

 

[BensGrandad]

For fear of repeating myself is there a striker in Eastern Europe or Spanish, Italian lower leagues that wouldnt cost a fortune. I am sure people with more IT knowledge than me could search it out.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Vaz, Te and Ward.

That's 3 players

 

[Grombleton]

That's 3 players

More worryingly, he wants us to sign Keith Vaz!

 

[albion534]

Lee Trundle

 

[B.W.]

I have every faith that Burke and co will sign a fantastic striker capable of scoring at least 1 goal in 14 games.

Oh, wait a minute.

 

[maltaseagull]

bobby zamora and glen murray
bobby may be old but hes still got the talent and skill to get us winning games

The way he is playing for QPR atm there is no way we they would let him go.

 

[BensGrandad]

Not many reasonable suggestions on here unfortunately.

Depends how much we are going to go for promotion if it is s..t or bust Defoe and Ravel Morrison but wages may be a problem. If mid table is the aim we could go for a couple of untried Pemier U21s like the one at Arsenal Chuba Akpom and Jed Wallace of Portsmouth

Mid table - I'd be happy with mid table at the moment !!
I don't mind a season of mid table mediocrity if it means that we have all systems go for next season - at present we appear to be sleep walking into League 1 though

Cant argue with that.

2 players wouldn't sort out the shambles of this formation we play with.

i don't for a split second believe that there isn't a big striker available. Seeing us line up with 3 midgets up front on saturday really made me really question what on earth the club is doing. It seems so blindingly obvious what we need and yet we splashed out on Baldock instead. Signing Baldock would have been fine IF we also signed a big striker to play alongside him....I honestly can't see the logic behind this unless Sami insisted that he didn't want a big striker....well if he didn't want a big striker why did we spend 90 minutes pumping balls up to our strikers on saturday (don't think they won a single header all game)?!

it's just madness...and as Tony Meolas Loan Spell said earlier in the thread, big target men HAVE been available. Plenty of them would have contributed, say, 10 goals this season and would have also freed up Baldock/Colunga to do what they should be doing (being foxes in the boxes) rather than competing with defenders for headers who are bigger and stronger than them or pissing about on the wings

in this division a big striker is an absolute necessity. They don't have to be a goal machine but they HAVE to be big. It seems like every team has one apart from us

When we signed Baldock I was CERTAIN it was because CMS was off. It was the only logical reason for him being brought in.

1 attacking goal scoring midfielder and a striker and we would be ok. Is Jermain Jenas at QPR still injured?

It would help to an extent. Jenas is barely ever fit I swear.

 

[BensGrandad]

Jenas is the type of midfielder we need now Crofts is out injured. Gardner is not the answer in that role.

May have been mentioned before but can't be arsed to trawl the whole thread, Tom Ince?
