Dr Venkman Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I think most peoples beef with it is we shouldn't be looking to replace Shola, we should really be looking to upgrade him and Doyle's a sidegrade at best. its a given that we need two new strikers. all i'm saying is lets increase the squad quality as well while we're at it. if you think about it, thats actually more ambitious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I would have taken Doyle not long back but it's becoming more pressing that we need a goalscorer and I would rather sign an unproven goalscorer for another league as a gamble than a proven non-goalscorer from this one.

Cajun Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hopefully Shola is 4th choice behind New, Ben Arfa and Best. Still think we could do with 2 new forwards but not going to get my hopes up and if we can get HBA playing the majority of the season then those 4 (depending on who 'New' is) should be good enough.

Dr Venkman Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 yeah true, if reports that ben arfa's gonna be played off the front striker are true, i'd expect us to only bring in that striker tbh and concentrate the rest of our efforts elsewhere. when all's said and done that could well be the best option. the new man's gonna have to hit the ground running and have a bloody good fitness record though, thats for sure.

Cajun Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Pardew actually said those were his plans (with HBA) so I'm fairly confidential and happy it will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'd much rather we spent €5m on El Arabi than on Doyle. El Arabi would be a much, much better signing than Kevin Doyle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Doyle and David n'Gog upfront next season. SMELL THE TOP 4 FINISH! Actually I wouldn't mind N'Gog at all. He has a bit of talent, and provides something that none of our other strikers do, which would make him a decent option to have. I see Doyle as a replica of what we already possess.
