Two years ago.

I wondered where he was. Bolton still make the "we have 4 strikers plus" group.

Keeping picking all.

You are doing a great job of picking out the odd name from a big list and questioning it, without being over knowledgeable thus throwing the whole concept into question without any sound reasoning to back up your argument.

well done.

The odd name?

Christ almighty. You accuse others of failing to provide sound reasoning? Or of not being overly knowledgeable? Frankly, you seem totally incapable of distinguishing sound reasoning from a shit-and-strawberry sherbet.

Since when has a pointless and inaccurate (and, dead right, boring) list of names constituted an argument?

well questioning is what I do, by questioning things you make people think and you learn, I am not disagreeing with you, infact its quite the opposite, I go from what I remember that Borgetti wanted to leave, so I pressume he did, simply because he had played 5 games a season!!, my other observations were fron were the club playes them, ashley young gets played LW, Kalou playes in a wing position amoung the forwards, same place as SWP!! and if he was a striker then he has a terrible strike rate (about 1 in 4 last time I cheaked) and the list goes on. I would back up my arguement but I expect people to already know these things!!!, anyway way Im just pointing out that those lists are untrustworthy, and Im sure if you were a fan of another team you may end up writting down are attack as something like this Keane Berba Taarbet Bent. Because some of the players you mentioned get hardly any caps!!

As a 4th striker I would say
Bafetimbi Gomis

Couldn't you just once in a while name someone who isn't either
a) of african descent
or
b) playing in the French or Belgian leagues

please?

Although I must admit this guy doesn't look like the worst you've recommended. 13 goals in 29 games this season isn't bad, even in Ligue 1.

 

[P-L-P]

R@CISTS! :wink:

 

[SpurSince57]

He is, and he's really not all that much cop. Championship level, which is what most of Ligue 1 is. And would you really want us to sign a striker called Gomis?

Good to hear from you, Spursking. How do you feel about your 'Team to Watch ++' and exemplar of team-building Toulouse plummeting towards Ligue 2? Great scouting there, if I may say so!

FACT is, most clubs have four strikers plus.

We dont. BTW there are fringe players who I could replace most of these "wingers" with.

Derby: Earnshaw, Villa, Macken, Miller


Who needs 4 strikers for gods sake?

Not a bad shout as our 4th striker maybe??

Well if fringe players count, then we most certainly have 4 "strikers" at our club, and no, not going to count them up for you... . and I say "strikers" in the same way you say "wingers" bc many of the clubs you name often play 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 and therefore need more striker/wingers than we do! So it is pointless to compare their numbers of strikers to our..

Besides, the problems we had with having 4 strikers when Defoe was here are well documented, and if we are going to buy a fourth striker, someone that can bare playing in the reserves, sit on the bench all the time and only get 15 minutes once a month unless someones injured, it should only be a prospect, a young developable striker, someone like Pekhart, or a new buy if he's not considered good enough at the moment..

 

[SpurSince57]

I suggest you have a chat with some Man City supporters. They're largely of the opinion that they don't have any strikers at all. And who would gainsay them?

Yes, several clubs have four, five or even more 'strikers' on their books. The difference between them and us is that theirs are mostly crap. We have three who can be pretty well guaranteed to get 15+ league goals each a season, and one of those is struggling to get a look-in. By contrast, the Spammers' six have managed, er, twelve between them. Bolton's eight have got a comedy seven.

If we can pick up a useful kid on the cheap, better than our current reserves, who's happy to spend most of the season on the bench or at Brisbane Road, all well and good. It depends what you mean by cheap, though.

I think an older player could be a decent option. Someone who has experience at the top level but wouldn't expect to play every week. They could come off the bench when required, or stand in if we have injury/suspension issues. Most importantly, someone who can be a good role model for our younger players and help with their development, and who is ready to see players like Peckhart make that step up to the first team.
Don't know who, though. Viduka is a good call, but...

Getting a younger player means there is the sam unknown factor over their ability to settle in the league or make it at all at the top level. A top youngster would cost loads and would expect to be picked more often that might be reasonable, and they could indirectly stunt the development of our other promising young talents. No point in spending huge in this area IF we have 3 good players already. If the right older player is available but the wages are high, it could be a price worth paying.

 

[Partizan]

3 strikers is enough, the 4th striker is a case of an emergency where one of our attacking midfielders (when we sign one) or an academy/reserve striker is considered good enough to step in and do a job

Gomis is a top quality striker.

My season's team to watch was not Toulouse. I said that they were impressive last season, but that I did not think the overall squad was good enough. Players like Emana, Elmander, Mansare, Fofana, Ebondo, Ilunga, Sissoko are all great players, but the overall squad is not good enough. That is the reason why they have struggled this season. I had hoped that Elie Baup had done more good signings than he has done. He has really dissapointed me.

What I said before the season was that Le Mans was the team to watch. With Johann Pele at the back, Camara, Romaric, Matsui, Sessegnon, De Melo, Maiga, Samassa and Gervinho as the star players. I also think they have the same problem. The overall squad is not good enough, but they have a great team to build around. Many young talented players here.

The real surprise this season has been Nancy. If you look at the squad they have, they have some really talented players, but it is a great achivement they have done so far. I would pick out two special players: Issar Dia and Chris Melonga.

No way BAD apple.

 

[Defsta]

My votes go for one of:

Sergio Agüero (Argentinian) - 19yrs - Atletico Madrid

or

Vágner Love (Brazilian) -23yrs - CSKA Moscow

As a 4th choice striker Eek

Will never happen and we would have to break the bank to get "Kun" and now we are talking something like £25mil if we want get him and even that wouldn't be enough :shrug:
