[Albion] Which of these 5 strikers would you be interested in?

[AmexRuislip]

None of them, on the basis, we can do better!

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Ulloa as back up to GM if as suggested TH is sold in January and Ings if SB breaks down or as conmpetitiion to him.

Why would Ulloa sign for us as back up though? He might as well stay at Leicester if he is only going to get occasional match time here.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Exactly,. Thes,e are the same tired old names that were knocking around in the last transfer window. We didn't sign any of them then, so why should we now? especially as we have hit the ground running and our current strikers are in form.

 

[studio150]

None of them.

Unless its a loan signing I would fully expect us to look to Europe again to bring in a striker that provides greater value

 

[Trigger]

None... Good old football whispers.

 

[MattBackHome]

I hope NSC is getting a decent wedge out of football whispers because the content is generally total bobbins.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

None... Good old football whispers.

Yep. Any one of us ciuld have come up with those five names. We certainly don't need a website to do it for us.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Leigh Griffiths - championship striker
Aleksandar Mitrovic - not good enough
Gary Hooper - championship striker
Leonardo Ulloa - past his best
Danny Ings - glass knees

Next

Nil

 

[Medwayseagull]

Would love LU back but is to similar to what we have already in GM and TH. We need something different, pacey, poacher etc.

A different poacher - Zac Dingle would fit the bill.

 

[Lurchy]

I still reckon Louis Schaub is our man, he's absolutely textbook Albion.

Left footed.
Plays on the right.
Young.
Would have been on Winstanley's Summer interrailing trip around Europe.

I like Shaub, but he's not the answer for this, instead he'd be ideal competition / cover for Knockaert.

 

[Two Professors]

Think Leo would fit back in the team seamlessly,another happy warrior!

 

[goldstone]

Providing he came relatively cheap, then I think Leo could do a job for us again as a squad member, and a pretty darn good one at that.

 

[Arthur]

Out of all of those only Leigh at a fair price. If we got him for 2-3 million I'd be happy. Anything more than that then none of the above.

In what world are you living in?

2-3m doesn't get you a striker from the third division.

 

[Stat Brother]

What not Barnes?
How about Zamora?
Maybe Micky Small can do a job?
Perhaps we could hold a seance and bring back Tommy Cook.


Oh and I'm in a pissy mood, so as much as the point stands, I apologise for being an arse.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

All of those are bang average and no better than what we have. Danny Ings is the exception but he would be a huge risk in a 25 man squad given his injury record and as we know from the summer we take the medicals seriously. We don't sign players with glass legs with one notable exception (Sorry Bobby).

In any case, I very much doubt we are interested in any of them. They look like the lazy premier league signings made by clubs like West Ham 'He was good once, sign him up, give him 100K a week and hope he scores 20' Think James Chester to Villa for 10m, Joe Hart on 200K a week or Stuart Downing for 20m to Liverpool. Shithouse value the lot of them. Most of our signings need google - That's exactly how it should be if you are doing it right. Finding under priced bargains that Paul Merson can't pronounce not signing has beens after one last pay day

 

[Simster]

All of this:

My Saints SOURCES both tell me that Austin has terrible attitude.

Of the list above the only one I'd be keen on would be a fit Ings. (So voted NONE)

This in spades. We''ll be aiming higher (I reckon any deal is probably 80% done already, no way TB/PB will allow another f***-up)

You'd like to think so, but judging by the amount of teams who 'just need a striker', I'm far less confident.

In the Summer the Albion appeared to be second from bottom of 'striker transfer chain' with 2 or 3 other bigger deals needing to happen in order to free up the targeted player. (Adone instantly springs to mind).

Unless they go for another very rough diamond, which seems less likely if the club can maintain it's current lofty position, then I don't see a deal being 'all but done' until others are made.

 

[Weststander]

Danny Ings. Something totally different to GM and TH.
