Brendo 0 Posted August 22, 2012 Who then?Serious suggestions please. I for one, would like to see Kenwyne Jones sign for us. Not too unrealistic and undoubtedly a class player.Hooper wouldn''t be too bad either.inb4messi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kellybrook 0 Posted August 22, 2012 And there is the problem. Whoever we bought, half this board would dismiss it instantly as poor business.Just to put some perspective on Kenwyn Jones, he would cost us at least £5 million plus addons, agent fees etc, plus wages of 40 grand a week (reputed what he is on at Stoke).So, in a couple of years if we stay up we can go for players of his level like Stoke did.Does that tell you the reality of where we are in the pecking order? Who is realistic and would improve what we have? Incredibly tough as if we want him, a dozen other clus will want him as well. The problem is that if someone like Shane Long is 7 million quid, and even holt would command a 2.5-3 million bid - you simply cannot escape the reality that this proven pacey wonderguy would cost 10 million - WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE.

TheRock 148 Posted August 22, 2012 Ex-scum but Jon Walters. Always rated him, even at Scumtaaawn.I did like the abuse we gave him on the first home game of last season though when Ruddy saved his crap pen. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CDMullins 435 Posted August 22, 2012 The new striker I want is...........Steve Morison.And I want to play to our stengths.Last season at Christmas we had scored more headed goals than any other teams.All we need imo is a horrible,nasty player to win the ball in the middle of the park, let Howson spread the ball wide. We have wingers in Piklington, Snodgrass and Bennett that can get the ball in the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume you like the 4-4-2 formation we played last season then?It''s our best team imo, caused so many teams problems (Chelsea away, Spurs away, Newcastle home,. Sunderland home)In Bennett and Pilkington, I think we have 2 absolutely sensational wingers too. Whilst we have many midfielders, who really is a ''big bruiser''?nooooooooooooooooooooo-one :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted August 22, 2012 Maybe we wil do what we did with the last central defender we brought from Spurs and play Bassong up top as a lone striker! I would love to see the one striker who has something different to Hotl and Morison, Rhodes, easy really, in our price range and wages would not be an issue. The likes of Jones, Owen, Bendtner, Defoe and such like are way out of our league on wages alone! I think we need to look at who is available in our price range, best value for money! but offers soething different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
star_manic 0 Posted August 22, 2012 if we get a new striker, and i think that we will, then i would be very surprised if he was british. much, much cheaper options abroad. one caveat to this, if we take someone on loan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A new option would be nice but I think the ones we have, plus our midfield, are more than capable. Would much prefer a big, powerhouse defensive midfielder.

Renskay 33 Posted August 22, 2012 Jozy Altidore, Mohammed Abdellaoue, Dieumerci Mbokani, Tarik El Younoussi, Oribe Peralta, Davy Claude Angan, Christian Chuco Benitez or possibly Erick TorresAny of those would do, but doubt any will happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mahogany 0 Posted August 22, 2012 I was just thinking Jozy Altidore. Didn''t do great at Hull but after a few seasons he finally seems to be coming good at AZ. 15 goals in 31 last season and 4 in 2 so far this one. Still only 22 too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
