Striker suggestions- realistic

[Ninja Elephant]

John Guidetti on loan

Can you IMAGINE? He did serious damage in Holland last season, he is deffinitely ready for first team football. He might not be the Cyclone, but he'll put the ball in the back of net and considering our problem is taking chances rather than creating them.... Boom.

I love the irony of the OP starting a thread on 'realistic' strikers with a suggestion of his own which is completely unrealistic.

So a striker who is about 5th in the pecking order at West Ham, proven at Championship level, not out of our price range is unrealistic?
Could you tell me how he is an unrealistic suggestion? He'll want to be playing first team football.

I would be surprised if we got any striker in before the end of January whether as a permanent signing or on loan. Sadly, our track record in this area is not at all good. I hope, however, that I'm wrong.

It's probably an unrealistic transfer target but you never know. Apparently Villa are interested in loaning him but that might be paper talk.

All I know is that he is considered to have the potential to be the next Zlatan (in terms of talent rather than attitude) and that is FLAIR

He MUST go to the championship this season, surely.

Very good player who has just fallen out of favour there.

And would not break the bank or our wage structure importnatly. Also if I am right is used to playing that lone role up front we employ. Puts a good shift in too whenever I have seen him play. And is a decent age.

Christian Stuani.


You heard it here first (ish ).

Andy Carroll is injured.
Maiga hasn't settled as admitted by allardyce. He may be moved on.
So that only leaves Carlton Cole in front of Vaz Te with Chamakh joining this week. Vaz Te began this season in their first team before being injured. He is now back and played against United in their full strength team available.

So no. He's not 5th. He's 2nd or 3rd at a premier league team.

Any chance of a realistic option ? seen as you believe all of our current strikers are not good enough.... ?

I would very much like to know who you think would be a decent affordable option.

 

[El Sid]

Christian Stuani.

Didn't he get a mention in the last transfer window?

Didn't he get a mention in the last transfer window?

And the one before that I believe.



Ticks a lot of boxes though!

5th choice in that he has started the last two games and come on as sub in the three before ?

Limited appearances this season due to injury not because wasnt selected

Andy Carroll is injured.
Maiga hasn't settled as admitted by allardyce. He may be moved on.

So no. He's not 5th. He's 2nd or 3rd at a premier league team.

Without Carroll then, he still has Cole, Chamakh and Maiga all ahead of him, and knowing WH, another striker will be on his way in.

 

[edna krabappel]

Apparently Granada have come in for him

Replacement for Ken Barlow?

 

[edna krabappel]

I mentioned Guidetti before but somebody said he'd had a fairly long term injury. Of the ones mentioned, only Morison seems vaguely realistic to me (many of the others are quite poor-Simeon Jackson seems to be the Norwich fans' very own Ashley Barnes, ie the constant target).

 

[ewe2]

Tom Pope from Port Vale.

 

[El Sid]

And the one before that I believe.

Lets hope Ulloa has ticked all the right boxes on his passport form.

 

[johnhammond]

Chris Wondolowski from San Jose. Big, strong, and scored 27 in 30 this season.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Guidetti still appears to be ill.

And Sunderland want him. Apparently for £6.5m...

Surely Hoskins is the man?
