swjf50 0 Posted February 5, 2013 Does anyone think we''ll bring in a loan or two and do you think we''ll ship any out on loan?What are the chances of picking a striker up ie Hooper when and if they lose in the Champions League? A midfield player like Biglia perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Juler 151 Posted February 5, 2013 I''d imagine Chris Martin will be off within a few days, talk of Derby showing an interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted February 5, 2013 We can loan only to English football league teams from friday I think but can bring in no more permanent or loan signings. We could sign players who are currently unattached - if we have space in our 25 man squad which I dont think we do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 0 Posted February 5, 2013 i doubt chris martin will go out on loan. If he does, it leaves us a bit short of strikers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick 0 Posted February 5, 2013 So we have 3 first team strikers. And you''re all happy to see Chris Martin loaned out to Derby? heads gone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swjf50 0 Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks for that.I think we have 4 strikers - Holt, Becchio, Jackson and Kamara. I presume Martin isn''t included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick 0 Posted February 6, 2013 Kamara isn''t a striker. We have 3 natural strikers. Not enough! Need Chris martin back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted February 6, 2013 [quote user="Nick"]Kamara isn''t a striker. We have 3 natural strikers. Not enough! Need Chris martin back[/quote]He and Hughton have both described him as a striker, as well as a player who can go onto the wing in a 4-3-3. He isn''t a winger - more a forward/wide forward.

willo 0 Posted February 6, 2013 Are you on a wind up Nick? You have watched us for the past three years? You think Martin should be in the squad when we have Holt Becchio Jackson Kamara and Hoolahan? Sorry Im trying to think of one reason you would want him in there based on his performances here and at his loan spells. Maybe you can tell me.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,219 Posted February 6, 2013 People need to think of Kamara as a right sided Huckerby - he''s not going to track back like Pilks or Snoddy do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
