Just the Striker to Come.......................

I wouldn't mind taking Jay Bothroyd or Lee Barnard. Louis Saha would be a amazing signing, but his wages would be a huge problem for us.

Bothroyd wont be on less than Saha - dont think Barnard is as good as Barnes which is who he would be competing with to play "in the hole" behind the main striker should we set up that way

 

[seagully]

He is an attacking midfielder/ striker who could play in the 'hole' behind CMS as a , lone striker. My choice as I have mentioned many times would be Lee Barnard especially now that he ha been released by Southampton

Pretty sure he is more of a traditional MF player to be honest. 18 goals in 166 career games according to Wikipedia.

Saha wages would be a massive problem for us, I suspect Bothroyd isn't on that much at QPR probably around the 20K mark. So he would be ideal for us but I can see us bringing him on loan.

The only way we would get around it is if other suitors are only willing to give him a pay as you play contract due to his previous injury record and we offer him a fairly good fixed 2 year deal.

Clutching I know but thought I'd throw it out there.

I suspect Bothroyd is on plenty more than 20k tbh as he went there on a Bosman and had plenty of suitors.

Bothroyd scored 2 goals last season.

Didn't he get injured really early on, then was rarely used by Mark Hughes. When they brought in Cisse and BZ?

He played 21 games last season

Carlton Cole, season long loan when West Ham get their new target man in.

 

[Langley]

All this talk about Murry, is he available ? If not then why waste time posting it.
I would go for Lee Barnard, my type of player.

 

[El Sid]

My money is still on Robert Unwin. You heard it here.

Who he?

 

[Bra]

having listened to Gus comments last night re CMS, he certainly could have done more to deny that the Leeds link was possible. If we were to accept an offer for CMS and uise that money for a forward better suited to our style and no I have no ideas as to who it will be, I think that would be good business. I have a feeling that like a house chain this may all happen early next week with CMS out and a forwad in.

Poyet would not have Murray back in a month of Sunday's. I can't believe people go on about it, it will never happen under Poyet and quite rightly so, he only put's it in when he is after a new contract and he will never score 15+ goals a season in the championship. Would not want Murray back if he played for free.(well maybe as back up, if he played for free lol).

Still can't see him going though unless stupid offer given And he had a quality player or two lined up immediately.. We don't need to cut losses here, he is a player in demand And once we get the right support for him we will be flying... All if s and buts though..

I was wondering about Barnard. I can't make up my mind if it gets us any further forward or not. This is more of a likely signing than mutu or Carew.

My gut feeling is that although I would initially be happy with the signing of Barnard.
Is he would invariably be disappointing.

I think he was clear enough..people like to read into statements all sorts if things to suit an argument

That would b nice

 

[Marshy]

Seriously people want Murray back ? !.... NO bloody way do I want him anywhere near our side again.

For once Kev, you are right. Murray is a solid Championship player at best, we should be aiming higher than that. He's hardly set the world alight at Palace.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Seeing as Murray is coming back....can we also have LEON?

He will be FREE and he's a CHANGED MAN.
