Realistically, do you think OG will be given the green light to bring in......

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

A quality prem striker on loan?

And if you think he will be, are we looking at Obika from spurs or will it be a bigger name than that?

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

Judging by the lack of striker activity since the start of the season, NO!

 

[Bozza]

"Quality prem strikers" are likely to be playing their quality football in the prem.

A striker though? Yes.

 

[Buckley's sore hamstring]

I must admit I am a little tired about hearing "it needs to be the right player. Someone who brings something different". We have no options at the moment. Any striker would bring something different at the moment as we only have one. We can't wait. Barnes injured / red card on Sat - what then?

 

[Craven Wine]

It'll be interesting to see OG bring in any of his own choice.. Maybe January will see some OG team building for next season;-)

 

[BensGrandad]

Didnt Warren Aspinall confirm that it was Obika we were after but he was injured so I would expect somebody of similar standing but cant think of who. What a smack in the eye it would be for Arry if it turned out to be Adebayor on 93 days loan but highly unlikely, although PB may have the ear of David Levy, we can only hope and dream.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Any quality striker currently scoring goals will either be playing or on the bench and will not be arriving here on loan.

A striker will arrive. The best we can expect is a team player who works hard up front and brings others into the action. Any sort of goal tally from him will be a bonus.

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Maybe - but then we don't seem to do the most obvious things at the moment, we didn't bother bringing in cover during Ulloa's recent suspension so I don't think it is nailed on. Oscar merely shuffled Buckley and KLL playing off Barnes, which was worth trying but wasn't very successful and messed up our balance.

However Ulloa looks like he'll be out for sometime, leaving us woefully short of striking options, so hopefully action will be taken this time. Who knows maybe something is being sorted right now? Otherwise we won't have much in the way of experienced striking options on the bench.

What worries me is Barnes picking up a suspension in the meantime. Ashley needs to keep a cool head.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Shame that we've got a few players on decent wages who are contributing very little

Kemy
Brez/Casper
Hoskins
Conway

 

[Rugrat]

I'm not sure we will. He's sidestepped the question in pre/post match interviews recently. Might be a case of wanting to but the suits say No!

Now we can assure game time to a loanee with Ulloa out, I would expect a queue at the Amex with a better selection for us to choose from.

 

[MissGull]

There are some quality players going spare though, in the prem. Mata, although not a striker, could do a job...

Likewise this Ozil chappie looks useful.

more likely he would need Levys wallet

Nah useless..only scored one...made 20 others mind

 

[MissGull]

David Luiz the benchwarmer could play a full 90 for us, if he's up for the challenge.

What makes you think that he will ever have this.

It works at other clubs like this......manager wants a forward....tells the director of football what type of player he wants.....director of football listens and gets what he can , not necessarily what the manager wants!

Burke choses and gets the players. Simples.

That's a bit harsh! What do you want them to do? Play up front?

 

[MissGull]

Well the way things are going we might end up playing El Abd up front, after all he played that position at school....

 

[daveinprague]

Ive not seen Conway play, but isnt he a winger/striker?
