No panic signing of a striker
- Thread starter Zebedee
- Start date
And Dale Stephens, to replace Bridcutt. Good point, well made.
But we shouldn't let facts get in the way of a good moan! Some people eh? Whatever the club do, it won't be good enough!

And Matthew Upson. And Steve Sidwell.
We're shit at this January transfer window thing

Indeed. If only we'd EVER, even just ONCE made a decent signing in January, you'd feel it was worth getting your hopes up now. But we LITERALLY never have.

Do a 10 year analysis focusing on Strikers only. I'd be fascinated.
Ulloa the exception to the rule.

I'd like to see March playing and interchanging the striker and winger roles with either Skalak or Murphy.
a. Ulloa wasn't signed '10 years' ago. He was signed under the current regime.
b. Why would I do an analysis focusing on strikers only? What's important is to sign what is needed at the time. Two years ago that was a strong midfielder, and we got Kayal. A year ago we were short of goals, signed AK and JS and ended up top scorers in the league. This year, of course, it IS a striker we need. And I'm confident we'll get one.

You are wrong about Middlesbro and Rhodes as he scored the goals that earned them valuable points to get them promoted and they will hope to sell him on even at a slight loss as he has repaid the fee by contributing to earning them the £180m for promotion. I do wonder about a month loan for a young striker from a premier club to get over Tuesday and Saturday with an option to extend it for the remainder of the season if we want. I dont know if that is possible rather than try to shoehorn one of our wide men into a no 10 role.

A bad move IMHO either play March and Murphy as 2nd striker but not interchanging with each other for any period of time or possibly play Towell as the No 10 but hopefully SB will be fit to start.
I guess they'd better get you in!

Yeah, last winters signings were cr@p weren't they! Wish people would think before they post.
I think March has been played in the middle before and it hasn't worked. One player who could... is Knockeart - though this would obviously need to be a temporary measure.
Wow. Not good enough by the club eh? I wish there was someone there that knew what they were doing.
Speak for yourself.

I dont think that is what is being said as we needed a striker last season eg GM but for whatever reason we didnt get one and it areguably cost us promotion

These aren't the players you're looking for.

Just a hunch, but the club know what failing to get the Murray deal done last January cost us, and I'm confident that the same will not happen again this year.
The club, or TB, have demonstrated in their stance of allowing Dale Stephens to run down his contract that money is not an issue.
I truly believe a premier league ready no10 singing is imminent.
