what strikers should we try and sign for next season

[kevtherev]

To all them people who want Rhodes(35 goals) and Evans(28 goals) so far this season. Just remember one thing..£3.25million Craig Mackail-Smith scored more than both of them last season.....Taking a punt on a lower league striker can sometimes pay off, but there is no substitute for experience...Next season for me, Heskey or Rhodes.....Heskey everytime, if we are in Championship.

 

[kevtherev]

Sorry, how foolish of me. Shouldn't assume because he's big, quick,has championship experience and averages a goal every 3 games that he would be any good!

236 Apps, 67 goals, goal every 3.5 games...That's 13 in a 46 game season and never been in a promoted side in this division...No thanks, no better than what we got.

Ross McCormack has never been promoted from the Championship, suppose he's no better than what we have too going by your logic?

But you were not talking about McCormack were you?...You were talking about Blackstock, that would be 6 goals this season Blackstock. He was the one you were saying we should sign, not 16 goals this season McCormack....No, I would take McCormack alongside someone with plenty of experience like Roberts. But i'm sure you said it was Blackstock we should sign not McCormack...Maybe im getting confused, or you are just backtracking?

 

[sir albion]

ched evans would be a good buy if sheff utd stay down...cash plus hoskins

Scored 9 goals in the championship last season mmmmm,league 1 is his level.

Not backtracking, at all. I did indeed suggest Blackstock (who has been injured most of the season) who has 67 goals in 236 games mostly in the Championship. You rubbished that idea. I suggested McCormack to see how you would react, and predictably you got excited by his 16 goals this season (not injured for most of the season). Interestingly McCormack's stats are 72 goals in 239 games. Very similar stats, same age and both with Championship experience, neither have been promoted to the Premier League. So why was I so wrong to suggest Blackstock?

Emnes - quality striker, could we afford him though?? prob 3-4m, maybe if 'Boro don't go up they may be forced to sell.

If by saying I would take McCormack, is your idea of getting EXCITED about it. I hope I never end up on an evening out with you..Hardly excited.

If you check back you will see who would get me excited, at this level...Roberts, DJ Campbell, Fuller, Cox.

Good answer buddy, you sure schooled me with that one Anyhow, still interested as to how McCormack gets a yes but Blackstock gets a no?

 

[ajcocker]

we should go for the boy LAKUKA from chelsea what a loan that would be the boy will shoot and most def get more goals than the over rated strikers we have that seem as if they have never seen inside of a penalty area!!!!!

All good choices, even though Jason Roberts is a wanker, is a wanker

Similar player to Lukaku I heard?

 

[Im Not A JCL]

any of these:
Ched Evans
Ross McCormack
Marvin Emnes
Jason Scotland
Jay Rodriquez
or some premier league reject

 

[ajcocker]

Same player i don't think so, the boy is head and shoulders above any of are attacking options which is a shame as i do like to give are boys my backing, just finding it hard to stay positive about what we have up top.

Do you mean Romelu Lukaku?

Lambert & Zamora. Bobby wont be on £90k a week at QPR if they get relegated and is Ricky ready for the Premier League ?

 

[ajcocker]

No chance of either of those, not even worth thinking about.
