Milner is leaving. Shola is leaving. Smith is.... Smith. So we've basically got Owen and nothing else. Can't even play Milner or Duff as a withdrawn striker anymore. ...what exactly is KK supposed to do for Arsenal this weekend? Or for the entire month of september for that matter. PS. Let's leave Nile RAIN-JAH out of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Geremi on the right, Zoggy on the left, Jonas in behind Owen. It's the only thing we can do really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 To my knowledge Dua is 2 weeks off training? So say a month, Martins is 3 weeks away. Might have to give Ranger and Zamlbera birth. also should buy like, but who? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 We do need another striker, hard to deny it really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 On a serious note about wor Ranger though. Keegan did put him on the bench ahead of the likes of Zamblera. He must have some "quality" to be on the bench I'd think. Even if the opposition was Coventry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 What do you think other clubs do when they have 4 or 5 strikers out at the same time? They play kids. Ours are injured too. Ranger? Zamblera? Donaldson? Danquah? It's a freak situation that we will have to get through, I doubt there are many Premiership clubs with as many first team strikers as us.

SEMTEX Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 tbh, We'll play Arsenal away without a striker. Then there are Internationals. Then return of Oba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 What do you think other clubs do when they have 4 or 5 strikers out at the same time? Buy another £50k a week player who they'll struggle to flog in a year's time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 As Dave suggests for Arsenal. Then we have a 2 week hiatus. In which time Smith will probabaly be fit. Him and Owen up top would be fine. Milner's situation will be resolved and we will either be able to use him or, hopefully will have a replacement. Martins and Viduka won't be far behind either. We might even have signed a striker if Shola has moved on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 We do need another striker, hard to deny it really. We need to replace Ameobi and Smith, you can't just keep adding more strikers when you've got 6 that have already represented the first team last season without shifting some dead weight.

Still, according to KK none of our strikers will be back by then though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Desperate ideas: 1. Start training players as striker who did at one time play in that position (Haper and Taylor IIRC?) 2. Start training players that would compliment Owen as a strike partner - mobile with close ball control and crossing ability: Zoggy & Gutierrez 3. "Pull a 'Boro" and claim that our games need to be postponed due to safety reasons that are totally unrelated to our injury crisis... might be a bit tough to pull that off on our away games, but hey there must be some corrupt cops down in the smoke right? 4. Call in a bomb threat to our games... ... 5. Play Smith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 But they'll nearly be back. The Smith bit was as more of a temporary solution until the others were back! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to replace Ameobi and Smith, you can't just keep adding more strikers when you've got 6 that have already represented the first team last season without shifting some dead weight. I'm assuming we're trying to get a deal for a new striker arranged before allowing Smith to leave. Fucking hope so anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toon Argy Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Nile Ranger looks a tall, strong, skillful player and I wouldnt be too worried if we had to play him because of our lack of forwards due to injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
