Ollie Burtons Grandad 0 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 It's a dangerous game of brinkmanship, being last minute merchants. It's no good to us if we end up with no-one worth having. Its plainly fucking stupid having known since January we needed a striker and for eons that Enrique was going to be fucked off to the bin dippers; yet here we are 1 game into the season having to read shite from Pardew / Lambsarse that they know what we need and they will be making signings. Useless lying cunts . Making more fake headlines with there mates at the Chronicle morelike. What odds of Kuqi being resigned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Kevin Phillips is scoring goals for fun in the Championship. I know he's just joined Blackpool but perhaps our lot will give him another crack at the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac-Toon 1 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Anyone heard from Antoine Sibierski recently? I'd take him. Seriously though, how can anyone believe we've even been active in the transfer market for a striker of pedigree? Daniel Sturridge is the man to go for. Never going to happen though due to his valuation. A valuation we should expect to be paid after 'Derek has assured me all the money will be reinvested'. The striker situation for me is just the tip of the iceberg. A second rate centre half for back up and a average left back are what we should expect. Shola was absolutely abysmal yesterday and Lovenkrands offers little in terms of goals nowadays. I think Ba will come good but needs to be given time to find his feet. Think it'll take him a while.

Kitman 2207 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 You'd have thought for a position as pivotal as striker, where the need for a goal scorer has been glaringly obvious since January, something would've been sorted by now. Who knows what they've actually been doing on this but it's very poor the season has kicked off and we're still looking. I wonder if the plan all along has been to get someone from a CL club on loan who's surplus to requirements. I hate being so cynical but the lack of a signing in such a key position after so much time makes me suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said 2 strikers since January, one of which we've got in. Shola and Best are squad players, imo Lovenkrands should be sold and Ranger sent to a championship side for the season to grow up. Somewhere like Doncaster.
