OzzieBudgie 0 Posted August 24, 2015 In this morning''s interview when Neil was asked if he was any closer to signing a striker he replied ''I never said we were looking for a striker, we are looking for a forward player'' That''s just a rough quote as can''t remember it word for word but I thought this was interesting surely the only players that count are wingers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted August 24, 2015 Yer I saw that. Sounds like a winger. Maybe michail antonio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westcoastcanary 173 Posted August 24, 2015 This was the point of my post yesterday on Ray''s joke Russ Martin thread. People, Merson included, keep on about our needing someone to put the ball in the net. What we need is some of the many chances created by/for our front men and attacking midfield to go in. Yesterday Butland could just as well have saved anything Charlie Austin or Afobe or X, Y or Z fired at him. What we need is cover against injuries to crucial contributors to our attacking play, in particular Jerome and Hooligan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
