It would benefit a club considering signing a player who hasnt player much this season like Adebayor, Kevin Nolan and even Rortherham Lucciano Bechhio. or dare I say it J Lloyd Samuel or Ashley Cole.when Villa were considering him.
Rhodes very expensive and unproven in the Premier so why not get a proven striker at this level on loan to get us promoted and then look to the future in the summer. Peter Crouch's season is all but over.
I would have looked at a short term deal for Becchio, who has signed for Rotherham and...
I think the reason for the possible disenchantment at the moment is down to TB and his statement that we shall strengthen from a position of strength which made most people believe that he was really going to push the boat out this year, and make a determined push for promotion.
Outside of the 4 mentioned ie McCormack, Rhodes Murray and Crouch there has been very little speculation as to who we could sign as a striker to meet our needs.
Like most teams Stoke use fringe players in the League Cup so it means very little him starting tonight. Unless of course they win and he wants to play at Wembley.
Dare I say it playing at Rotherham? No not Matt Debyshire but Luciano Becchio just signed short term deal. Another oldie goal poacher who may be injured Jermaine Beckford.
