Downloads 35 Posted February 6, 2011 How about Benni McCarthy? Not in the West Ham squad, has a good goals to game ratio pretty much wherever he''s been (except West Ham), they obviously don''t want him there at all. I''m not saying he''s a long term prospect for our team, but I think he''s better than Martin, Wilbraham and Jackson and we need someone in for a final push? Got to be someone we can get in to help us out! They did say the money is available to Lambert for loans didn''t they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted February 6, 2011 We have to get someone in. With a more clinical striker we would and should have won that yesterday. I honestly think we are one player away from a realistic top 2 finish, We dominated that 2nd half yesterday. Lets get someone in and give it our best shot.

Excited Canary 19 Posted February 6, 2011 Poor attitude, would disrupt the whole team morale. Nathan Delfounseo was linked with us on deadline day, that would be a good shout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,717 Posted February 6, 2011 McCarthy has just been fined for not getting his fitness up.Do we really need someone that can''t be arsed doing a basic thing for a footballer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downloads 35 Posted February 6, 2011 Yeah, he could be a big handful for defenders in this league, I guess my only concern is lack of proven goalscoring ability... But he would definitely be one to look to keep rather than a short term one off loan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6088m canary 0 Posted February 6, 2011 im intrigued by this Delfounseo (if indeed thats his name?!) link....What has he actually done in the Premier league?! He plays for a side with barely any strikers and still gets just about as much cameo time as "super" Mac at Carrow Road....What we need is someone who knows how to score......McCarthy would be a great shout but im not sure hed be arsed.Even a one month loan to inject some life into our current strike force would be fine.....One thing i would say however is the service is lacking. Holty is a legend but look at a lot of the goals he scores....he makes them himself by constant hassling of defenders....Jackson and Martin are not in the same mould....if a decent ball is put in to the right areas then id expect those two to score more regularly than Holty, but for some reason both of them are taking on our midfield anchor in the scoring charts.

ryan1992 0 Posted February 6, 2011 [quote user="Cluckbert Chase"]No we don''t.We need patience and realism.[/quote]Eh? We have een too patient with Martin and Jackson. They are not doing the job, and without a decent striker coming in on loan, i can see us now starting to slip down the League. If we don''t go up this year, it could be a VERY long wait until we are pushing at the top again. What''s so unreal about getting a Premier League striker in on loan who isn''t in a teams 25 man squad, or a championship striker currently out of favour, but who can do it at this level?

Bradwell Yellow 0 Posted February 6, 2011 I get the coding too Ryan mate.I don''t think another striker would hurt, but WHO is the problem.Jackson gets himself into good positions, but that''s about it.Chris Martin will hustle and bustle but has missed some sitters as of late.Oli Johnson has scored for Yeovil, but when he returns he''s hardly had any game time in the Championship.Wilbraham''s a squad player..I don''t think we''ll pull a miracle off, i think we''ll go with what we''ve got.Remember, with our over performing team anywhere in the top 10 is a bonus!We''ve set the bench mark so high we''re all expecting miracles.

Norfolk canary 0 Posted February 6, 2011 I think a more realistic target would be someone like Leon Best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted February 6, 2011 Best is about as realistic as George Best, considering he is scoring for the Geordies and they have about 3 strikers on their book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legend Iwan 30 Posted February 6, 2011 [quote user="COYY"] I think a more realistic target would be someone like Leon Best[/quote]If you''re going to come up with ridiculous targets at least make it plausible that they can move. I''d say someone like Fabio Borini fits into that category, coming back from shoulder injury, pretty much left out of the Chelsea squad this year, they have loads of strikers and his contract is up in the summer so perfect opportunity to put himself in the shop window.
