Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 23, 2008 Billy, do you think Roeder has finished with signing strikers now,then? I doubt it very much, in fact Roeder himself has said he''slooking for some bigger chaps for the little fellas to play off... Havefaith, and don''t EVER dare to suggest that we are inferior to that scummy, sh*tty excuse for a football club, EVER AGAIN! [:@][:P] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IF some of them were know goalscorers as well then we may just about get away with a shortage of true strikers but to my knowledge none of our midfield players is likely to get the 8-10 league goals you need. IMO we still need two first team strikers and these need to be permanent signings of at all possible. I fear all we will end up with is Ameobi who GR will trumpet as the best striker in The Championship but I am worried about him joining us (if he does). I don''t think he has the hold up play, touch and workrate you need at this level, plus a lot of the goals he has scored have been, how can I put this, ''dubious quality'' to say the least!

The four in the cup included the 3 against Wrexham. He scored 11 goals in 20 starts for Derby. If you scoff at that then you are a fool and I suggest that you get your facts in order. Ched Evans scored 10 goals in 20 games for Norwich last year. I bet you dont go round saying that Ched Evans has a bad strike rate do you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the record, Beattie is going to be playing in the premiership next year, and Darius Henderson has been bought as his replacement. Billy Sharp scored something like 5 goals last year.

South Yorks Yellow 0 Posted July 23, 2008 At least one more striker will come, I am sure of that.I work in Nottingham and work with a couple of Derby fans who are green with envy we signed Lupoli. They think he is awesome and are gutted we got him.Previous poster got it spot on, Dery fans dont think he was used correctly and spend much of his time out on the flanks with Howard as a lone striker. This guy could get us 20 goals this season if he plays all gamesI hate Sheff Utd and everything about them. In theory they had a much better team than us last season but f*cked it up, just as I am sure they will do this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
