Very this !

As an aside finances permitting Beckford would be a brilliant signing.

Gee whizz, he's mentioned the 'O' word again!

 

[dingodan]

So, if I am reading this thread correctly, we are not signing Michael Owen after all?

Awful signing. Whenever I saw him last season he was just strolling around, billy big bollocks style.

Tweet from Brian Owen "For those asking, Gus told me "no closer" to a striker earlier this evening. I almost hestitate to tweet that as I know things can change......but that is what I was told in early evening.

That sounds to me as though he's heard something, or am I clutching at straws.

But hes not said...no new striker ! Hes planning to start with what we have , but i reckon something will happen in the next week. As great as we think we are..as big as we think we are...we still have a restrictive wage policy , which basically knocks 90% of the NSC wish targets on the head . Im not sure 'eez complicated '...'eez realistic'. He will pull something out of the hat !

Agree that our wage policy might be restricting us but a load could be freed up by getting rid of 3 or 4 where we are well provided for and have adequate cover. I'm bemused at his seeming reluctance to off load and free up some wages

Don't you mean Michael Owen?

But Michael Owen is a striker though

Michael Owen played out wide a few times for Man Utd, so technically he can be classed as a wideman rather than a striker

If he's no closer surely he hasn't heard anything?

Poyet said no new striker before the season starts.

I sincerely hope not. That would be a major blow.

 

[misterspatch]

The next signing is NOT a striker ...read the thread !

You read the thread. He said new player. That could be any position.

 

[Icy Gull]

I think that our permanent striker target and our guaranteed back up loan striker target, if we can't agree terms could be one and the same person - Carlton Cole

That

CMS won't be match fit for the start of the season even if he is fit, so what happens if Barnes, who arguably isn't really a striker, gets injured in tonight's friendly at Crawley? We have a v small squad of players up front and it worries me that we have yet to sign anyone who can knock the ball in the net with regularity. With such a strong midfield and defence it would be a shame if we let ourselves down again when we got to the final third.

Quite right...i stand corrected !!

Or do you know something about a non-striker coming in?

It is threads like this that make me realise just how sad I have become. Arrive at work at 6.30am and spend next half hour pouring over every word on signing threads. As a consequence of this illness I have read Brian Owens tweet many times and decided there is some substance behind it, he appears to have chosen his words carefully and is pretty precise in saying early evening as if the club are expecting things to change..

Now off to the doctors for a cure!
