What striker in on loan

[D'Angelo Saxon]

would be a good shout, but no way they'll loan to a promotion rival.

Yeah, who'd do that?

 

[The Fifth Column]

Gus's record when it comes to loan strikers is appalling - billy paynter, Sam vokes, Chris wood to a lesser degree. I am preparing myself to be underwhelmed and hoping that Gus breaks his duck.

 

[Marshy]

Not worth it unless its a top notch loan, so I am expecting a beast of a player.

 

[Lawson]

John Guidetti from Man City - we'd do very well to get him down here.

Realistically - we just need back up/cover for Ulloa.

That wouldn't be the most outrageous call i don't think because Mancini isn't giving him playing time and he would only lose him for the end part of the season in which he doesn't have anything to win. Play offs really mature a player so he might be keen to give him the chance for a unique experience. Safe to say if we got him we are as good as promoted.

i think now is more likely than ever because we have a real chance of promotion this season and look a much better side who can compete with the top teams. Lets hope this is the start of some new luck with loan signings.

Which could be every other game tbh

Only one of those 3 was appalling, what you on about? Vokes was pretty good, and Chris Wood was very good.

Barnes could revert to being an out and out striker, I think he'd do well with Ulloa given a bit of game time. Having said that I hope we sign a player who already knows the British game, we haven't really got the games left to get another latin who has to take a few games to adjust imo. Who that would be I have no idea, Zamora is clutching at straws no?

 

[daveinprague]

What about the horse?

He signed for Findus Lasagna FC.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Thought Bobby had an ankle injury and couldn't play at the weekend.

With what's at stake this season so far, I think we must splash the cash a bit otherwise our season might fizzle out again. It's worth a gamble IMO.

There has to be a suitable forward out there who's not getting first team football. Doesn't there? Or is it just wishful thinking?

 

[Arkwright]

When does MLS have it's break? Now? A flair US international could be just the ticket for a month or so at an attractive club.

I was saying THIS in the car last night, I know it's a long shot but for the sake of eleven games and a potential Play Off, how about Robbie Keane.

The only problem is we only play one up......

 

[The Fifth Column]

Only one of those 3 was appalling, what you on about? Vokes was pretty good, and Chris Wood was very good.

Vokes 3 goals in 15 apps, Wood 9 goals in 31 apps. I don't consider Vokes record here to be good at all, Wood was much better, 4 of those goals were pens so overall it was OK. He's improved a lot since he left but I stand by what I said, Gus's record at getting decent strikers here in loan has been poor.

 

[Napper]

Phil Stant available

 

[StonehamPark]

I'm available! I've already got a shirt, pick me up at 5?

Make way for El Burro!!

 

[Mellotron]

Vokes 3 goals in 15 apps, Wood 9 goals in 31 apps. I don't consider Vokes record here to be good at all, Wood was much better, 4 of those goals were pens so overall it was OK.

You realise they were brought in as target men, i.e. Heskey type players to bring CMS etc into the game? Anyone who judges strikers like that solely on goals is being daft.

 

[Arthur]

Give Toby a go!

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Give Toby a go!

Only if our target is finishing lower than 6th and writing off the season.

 

[New Carpet?]

Simeon Jackson seems realistic enough, but as fantastic as it would to see him in an Albion shirt again, Zamora just isn't - if he's fit, he'll feature for QPR, and shirley Redknapp won't let him go at this stage of the season and with so much to play for.

I could see Gus approaching former Chelsea buddy Steve Clarke and borrowing one of West Brom's three out-of-favour strikers - Markus Rosenberg, Marc-Antoine Fortune or even Odemwingie.

 

[Telford Seagull]

There was some strong talk during the transfer window about Sebba Fernandez off malaga. He sits on the bench every game and gets the ocassional half hour or so. I thought at the time it was a bit of a long shot but there was genuine interest on both sides with malaga also happy to let him go to at least trim some of his wages down. Ot wpuld be incredible if we got him but i'd definately go for him again. If not, a player like simeon jackson would be a shout. Good to see people suggesting John Guidetti aswell, i suggested him a while back and i think he'd score hat full's at this level

What? Striker in on loan?

We need a team looking to charge us £8k a week in borrowing someone, themselves covering the rest of it, really. We tended to rent these part-bullocks, and as necessary as it is to be strong in this division, then maybe a bit of pace could be a reasonable alternative in the form of a relative youngster. They learn easy, although are a risk. Saying that, so are the bullocks.
