N.A.G.A.S Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Shola > Loven > Best > Ranger Shola does something impressive about once every two matches. Lovens' form would probably improve with a bit more match practice. Best had a good day against terrible opposition. I'd need to see way more from him to put him above Loven though. Ranger's end product is just abysmal, no idea how he manages to get so many goals for the reserves. I really have no idea where to put Xisco but he doesn't seem to have been very popular with either Pardew or Hughton, so he can't be up to much in training. There's not much in it really. None of them is (currently) good enough for the first team if we want the club to move up in the world. One or two out of that list have the potential to improve, two certainly don't, so if somebody offers good cash for any of them I would be seriously interested in trying to offload them and use the money to try and get a better striker in. We don't need four so-so strikers, we need one good one to complement the excellent one we already have. I agree in part. Ideally we would have Carroll, Someone Competant, Back-up and a couple of youth players coming through. I can see Shola fitting in as back-up and Ranger maybe as one of the youth players. But the others are very sellable. The problem is that we need all of them at the moment because we've only realistically got one first team striker.

Zero Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Best + Ranger as our starting strikeforce with Lovenkrands as subs. Jesus christ. nPower Championship standard at best. Remember the Fat Cunts are unlikely to bring in any decent reinforcements. Selling Ameobi doesn't guarantee us a new striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the others are very sellable. The problem is that we need all of them at the moment because we've only realistically got one first team striker. Well, in an ideal world I would of course sell Xisco, Lovenkrands and Best before I would want to sell Shola, but this is not the ideal world and if there are no takers for the first three than I would still consider selling Shola if the opportunity arose. As long as we have all of them on the books I can easily guess Ashley's reaction to any request to free up the money to bring in another striker on top of the 6 we already have. You say the others are sellable, but they are not unfortunately... Dispensable, yes, but nobody will take them of our hands. Selling Shola may be a slight risk in the short term if we cannot get a replacement in before the window closes, but one I would be prepared to take for the greater good of being able to move forward with our striker department. One step back to make two steps forward and all that.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 BORING Whatever happened to keeping threads "on topic"? Heh? Shola is being rumoured to be on the radar of Birmingham City, so we are debating whether this would be a good transfer, just like we would with any other transfer rumour...

quayside Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 To quote Saturdays commentator "Rangers done more in 5 minutes than Shola did for the entire game" The right pair of fresh legs coming on against a tired defence will always have a chance of making something happen. Getting substitutions right is an invaluable skill and AP should have brought Ranger on a bit earlier imo. I like Nile as a player but his inability to finish is a pain in the arse.

Alberto2005 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Our signings seem to happen out of the blue, when there has been little or no speculation, with a player we didn't even think of. So, the fact that it has gone a bit too quiet is good tbh. Can't even be arsed saving a straw picture to upload. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
