The why aren't we signing a new striker thread....

What is Adebeyor up too these days?

He may end up being one of the only half reasonable options, but I can't see Remi wanting to bring in a player with a notoriously piss poor attitude when he's not managed to shift shysters like Gabby and Zog yet.

Our chance to buy a striker was when Benteke was sold. Bottom of the league, 9 points from safety and destined for the Championship is not the time to be buying a striker capable of scoring double figures between now and May.

what twists my melons is who actually had the last word on gestede being the answer?

[supertom]

No half decent proven striker will come here. We need to take a punt on someone from overseas or lower leagues again, which of course is what got us in this mess in the first place, but there are strikers out there who have scored in the championship, who may fancy coming to a club our size, regardless of us being destined to ply our trade in the second tier. I think Rudy will do alright next season, providing we buy a half decent winger, but we definitely need a mobile CF who has an eye for goal. At the level we're at now you're not gonna get an all-rounder or someone with great technique, but if we're lucky we'll find the next Darren Bent or someone of that style.

if we have tried to sign players and that is true , then surely we have to know who they were..
who were they?

Why do we have to know who they were?

But your starter for ten - Remy, Debuchy, Kalinic, Congre, Sane

I too read the media but what im saying is, do we really know and how hard are we really trying

No, what you were saying is 'we really have to know who they are'.

In the case of Debuchy, Sane, Kalinic and Congre either the player or their chairman has said  we're in for them. Why would they lie? In the case of Kailinic, we're at the stage of trying to get his work permit, having agreed a fee and terms. What more can they do than that?

do they even know which kalinic theyre buying? I know which one id be after!

I would think so, yes.

Ross McCormack,? Wanted by Boro at 8-9m. Is 29 however.

[ciggiesnbeer]

come on now Ciggie. Don't be this guy. It's a discussion forum. Not everything goes your way.

Bwahaha Nah it was posted in haste because I had to take the family out to breakfast. If I do a full on petulant sulk it wont be subtle

My question to Ciggies is how much room dya need in terms of cubic feet?

I only as k because the missus is a realtor, and once told me when I worked at Sotheby's that a waste paper basket in Bond Street could buy a house in Kansas.

Its an emotional space I need to give support to my vastly inflated sense of self importance. So by that calculation I need about the size of the state of Kansas.

I think he costs too much money, and that's considering his price has evidently lowered in the last year. It was astonishing what Fulham paid for him.
I'd want a younger player to be honest. Fair enough he has goals in him, but he'd have no sell on value.
If he was 5-6 mill it would probably be a no brainer and he could probably be tempted here. But perhaps we could offer up Gabby in part exchange.

but a second string keeper isn't really the answer is it?
he must be cheap? a goalscorer may well keep us up,but are we really trying?

[aj2k77]

That Christian Santos who plays in Holland, £250k, low wages, good scoring record albeit in a poor league, worth a gamble?

We've made our bed by taking gambles. The situation we're in now, is that we have to make more gambles. So yeah, why not? He could be worth a punt. Were he to have a good start in the Championship, he could perhaps kick on when we're (hopefully) back up to the top flight.

£5m according to the papers. So, no, not cheap or a second string.

That would depend on the question. If the question is 'shall we sign a goalkeeper to solve the fact that Guzan is crap and Bunn is a stopgap' then it may well be an answer. If the question is 'will he solve our striker problem' then probably not, no.
