New Striker?

Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:08 pm

Apart from Bellamy transfer news rumours appear to have gone quiet? Anyone know if we are still after another striker? With joe mason still young but with great potential and velikonja unproven and earnie not up to banging in 20plus goals, if helgussson gets injured we could definitely do with another proven goalscorer at this level if we wanna be top contenders...
Anything happening with Maynard?
What about a bid for Rhodes?
Any news?

velikonja will just have to prove himself. MM cant spend 1m+ on a striker then go to the board and say oh but I need another one because he is unproven and might be crap.
Bellamy can move upfront, Mason can play upfront, Helguson can play upfront and we have enough midfielders to play one upfront.
Then we also have Rudy and Earnie. I would still hope we would move Earnie on and replace him.

You pretty good with stats.
Any idea how many league games Keinan, Gerrard and Blake started? individually?

Keinan came on as sub once against Southampton to close the game out other than that he played against WBA in the FA Cup and a few games in the early League Cup rounds.

Gerrard was until Turner was fit and until Hudson had his 3/4 season break.

I don't know why Keinan wasn't given a shake. He had a tough opening to his Cardiff career (playing most of it with Kev who is a full back) next to him and JLS on the other side :shock:

If it's true that MM doesn't rate Blake then we need a utility defender, CB and full back.
