Goal Scorer Required

Developing the "transfer rumours" and the "building for next season" topics. I think we have seemed to strengthened on the wing as required with Petrov and another popularly perceived area of weakness at left back with the boy Alonso.

 

So as I see it, the main area to strengthen in is a goal scorer. Easier said I know. But can this topic be dedicated to serious opinions or inside info re the holy grail that is a 15-20 goal a season striker.

 

We have to be realistic and accept that it will be someone past their prime or a young untried talent.

 

Any names?

 

It would be interesting to see who is the first to name him.

reevesie bagged a few a masters last week,

Ivan Klasnic

You are not going to get much better, unless you can spend 20 to 30 million and 100000k a week wages, which we cant do

Is Dean Windass willing to deprive Saturday afternoon audiences his intelligence and insight into the beautiful game? If so...he's our man!

On a more sensible note, Coyle is doing what Megson did and Big Sam did (and probably is still doing), waiting until near the deadline, when players get desperate and wage demands suddenly drop if players genuinely want a move.

 

I suspect Klasnic is still on the radar, as are a good dozen or so strikers. But right now, they'll all want top dollar. Only the out of contract players need bagging early doors, for the rest, it's always the waiting game. Look around - how much business has actually been done by anyone compared to the amount of speculation? We're no different to anyone.

santa cruz on loan .

santa cruz on loan .

 

hes on 100k a week

Santa Cruz or Bellemy for me, top money but what you save on transfer fee you can add to wage etc. At the moment they are looking like they will not even get a squad number so there must be some room for negotiation.

 

However I think Mark Hughes will get in there on one or both when he gets the Fulham job.

In which case we need to get in there all the more quckly.

Don't worry, an overweight Brazilian will be here on deadline day. Two months in fat camp and he'll be find for the bench.

Heard Jo is available on loan? Worth a punt if they pay half his wages?

I remember a certain SKD doing that many years back and what a bargain he turned out to be.

Lacina Traore at Romainian club CFR Cluj, impressed in the Champions League last season, should be just within our budget.

no.

i,m sure if you asked citeh fans they will confirm their biggest waste of money is a toss up between jo and that samaras .

not at blackburn mind

 

when skd got to blackburn,he went off the rails..remember him being out of action due to a throat infection,that the club said was glanadular fever?...it wasnt ,it was ghonarhia(however you spell it) of the throat,my good friend is a landlord in great harwood where skd moved to,he was shaggin all that moved and out till all hours hence hisw poor form.good lad.

Who gives a fuck who the Sunday tabloids link who with. It's tittle tattle, no truth to it.

no,the fucking truth is that we are two weeks away from the new season,with two strikers that in two seasons as a pairing have musterd fuck all,a 34 year old squad player that struggled to get in burnleys team towards the end of last season and the only name we've been linked with is david nugent and a player we have already tried and tested and is not fit enough to complete 90 minutes.the situation in frightening.

its the sheer fact that sky sport news are reporting link for stoke to sign the likes of carlton cole and we are being linked with fuck all.

maybe the tabloids do get things wrong and embelish rumours...but it would be nice to get a mention from time to time to offer a bit of hope.
