Guest Heneage Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Though Benjani is pap, I'm glad we're looking at striking options and also checking players out before getting them on contracts where possible. Still pray we go nowhere near him. A Mackem friend of mine said he was one of the worst strikers he's ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Throw Best in the Hooper deal, loan Ranger out, buy a quick second striker type from somewhere abroad. Leaves us with: Carroll New Striker Hooper Lovenkrands Shola I'd be happy with that in theory (unlikely to happen), but relying on somebody like Hooper as our sole signing upfront would be crazy. We need to be edging our bets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Guy on a Watford forum reckons Ranger is off to Watford on loan and we're getting first option on Loach. Hopefully and likely to be bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Wouldn't mind Vuckic going on loan to Watford either. They did a good job with Lansbury, Cleverley and Cathcart last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Vuckic going to be pushing for games with us this season? I haven't seen a lot of him, but from what reserve watchers have said, he could play an important part for us this season.

Aye nailed on he won't be going out on loan.. he would have had plenty of games last season if he had not been injured. Can see him nailing down a 1st team place by mid season.
