STRIKERS??

Wed Jul 06, 2011 7:10 am

If we fail to bring in Bellers and Goodwillie,

who do you think are realistic targets that we should go for...

whether free or could we tempt players from other clubs... Brighton signing mackail-smith shows that players do appreciate a good stadium etc... and are up for a challenge.. he could av gone to the prem league or Leicester but chose the newcomers..

Is there any already on our radars?

what about Billy Sharp? Doncaster accepted a bid around 3mil with add ons but Sharp turned down Southampton....

or someone else maybe?

I thought this was going to be another post about public sector workers.. :lol:

Kevin Philips, add Earnie, Parkin and a young hungry Ibby Farah and I would say we have had worse.

lol!!!


kevin phillips ?? wouldnt he just be another off the bench player though... Surely we need that bit of quality aswell.. perhaps we should be looking at trying to bring jay back i dont know? but from looking about ,there isnt much better available without spending 2-3 mil..

Your right mate.

If Bellers dont come back we will probably need to bring in someone else with a bit of spark. McCormack?

Im hoping that some of these kids are going to get a crack of the whip now though, Dave Jones would never give the youth a chance, Ibby Farrah could be the new Earnie/Jerome... :ayatollah:

Farrah is a centre mid, Nathaniel Jarvis is the young striker :) :ayatollah:

Maynard / Le Fondre. Both will score a lot of goals. They will cost a fair bit but with all the frees we should have a bit to spend. :ayatollah:

Le Fondre is class and definitely someone we should look at if we somehow fail to get any of goodwillie, bradshaw and bellamy :ayatollah: :)

I think Maynard is a no no mate with Bristol City looking for £4 million.

I would take a punt on ALF though, reckon you could get him for under a million

I think we need at least 2 more striker and these two must be good enough to be first choice

agree, we need two proven strikers with a bit of quality...

Defo, we need 2 more quality strikers minimum. Love one to be Goodwillie but does anyone actually know when the decision to prosecute him or not will be decided?

Fuller from Stoke.

Sure he's a free agent, would be a brilliant signing.

Earnshaw & Fuller up front, Sign Kevin Phillips for the bench. :ayatollah:

Re: STRIKERS??

Wed Jul 06, 2011 5:11 pm

fuller is ok.... but we cant rely on earnie to be first choice striker ... phillips would be pointless...
