Muddy funster 0 Posted March 1, 2011 Wiz, you remind me of the Iraqi spokesman who stood on top of the building in Iraq during the invasion and told the TV cameras that no Allied tanks were in the city and would never breach the city.....just as Allied tanks rolled up and down the neighbouring streets. The press pointed to the tanks and he pretended they weren''t there and repeated that there would never be any inside the Baghdad city walls. They nicknamed him Comical Ali - remember?You are him in NCFC terms. You have made a sweeping statement from nothing but gut instinct. I applaud that on a forum. That level of controversy promotes debate. You are then proven incorrect with cold hard fact and.....you choose to ignore that fact and insult the person who has given you the evidence. Genius.

Bill 1,788 Posted March 1, 2011 Technically, as of this moment, wiz''s prediction stands as correct.We have not signed a striker on loan, nit picking maybe, but until we do sign a striker wiz has at last scored a hitPerhaps with such ruthless accuracy he could play up front for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

havemyhowsonit 0 Posted March 1, 2011 We don''t need another strikerthat formation against barnsley is probably the best we''ve got.we have defenders scoring (r martin), midfielders scoring (Crofts, Hoolahan) and if holt scores in almost every game from now which he always looks like scoring a goal every game. So with that we''ve got 59 points sitting pretty in the league with what we''ve had from day one.Look at all the strike force cardiff have got and only 2 points behind them, when possibly we should be ahead of them?so I ask you why do we need striker? one to wreck the formation we''ve got. no thankswho would we get anyway for twelve games left? he''d only probably score 2 or 3 anyway not enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan1992 0 Posted March 1, 2011 Ok then Alertz, if we don''t need a striker, then what will happen if Holt get an injury/suspension? Wilbraham can''t score, Martin can''t score and injured, Jackson can''t score and that''s all we have. Holt is great, but going for promotion to the Premiership with Jackson, Wilbraham or Martin to partner Holt is quite frankly laughable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptnCanary 0 Posted March 1, 2011 It seems pretty obvious now what Wiz''s strategy has been for many years on this forum - he makes some outrageously negative statement that if proven right gets him some sort of forum brownie points and if proved wrong, nobody cares because everybody is happy and Wiz is happy to be proved wrong. Its a win win for him. Still daft though - a bit like betting on Norwich''s opponents to win each week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he does its pretty much over.Who would you get in to replace him then?

Yellowbeagle 0 Posted March 1, 2011 Having had a look at some of the preimership squads, i just couldnt see that many strikers who i thought would improve our side and actually come here. teams like sunderland only have three strikers themselves. I guess thats why we had to look at the likes of Blake, i was actually surprised by the amount of sides who didnt seem to have good players out of favour in reserve, i guess maybe the financial side is hitting clubs too and they arnt holding as big squads as they did when we signed Hucks and Crouch. Maybe Lambert will pull a rabbit out of the hat, but the odds must be stacked against him, going with what we''ve got is''nt a disaster imo. I really cant see anyone in our division loaning us a decent striker either, unless they are in big money trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted March 24, 2011 "You couldn''t wait to find this thread could you "err yes, it was quite a while after the announcementHowever perhaps you could remind us all who put up the claim about NO STRIKER on loan ? Or tell us why certain posters should be immune from response. There was nothing nasty or malicious in my reply, in fact I''m sure almost everyone else took it in the light hearted fashion it was intended.wiz sets him self up for a fall and I''m sure much of this is all part of his ''forum personna'' . Perhaps your getting upset on his behalf is part of yours, who knows.What I do know is that we look to have signed two forwards with Premier Laegue experience which is great news for us and two fingers up to those who (in their personna I suppose) have been cluttering up this forum with their dire warnings and snide comments about the club and those that run it.ps I also know that part of wiz''s behaviour is that he regularly goes off in some self justified, self imposed exile and will return when he has got bored with playing elsewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
