Guest VaVaVoom Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Luuk De Jong would be my 1st choice striker out of all that we have been linked with. Quality and bags of potential too. His brother Siem is ment to be a bit like a young sneider. Would want 1st team football i'd of thought and he wont get in our 1st team ahead of Tiote and Cabaye.

This is why it is important we have European football next season. A lot more games to keep fringe players happy which in turn means we can get better quality fringe players.

NoU Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think the older brother Siem's alright, but we should really Luuk at de Jong one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Someone might want to correct me on this, but Hoilett doesn't look like a natural wide player. He plays wide right in a 4-3-3 which allows him to cut inside and have a dig. Much like Ben Arfa I can see Pardew seeing him more of a player who plays in the hole rather than out wide.

Stifler Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Out of all the players we have been linked with theirs non I'd like more than Hoilett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 We need a striker that come in and score goals, a rotation centre back and even a fullback before I'd be wanting to spend on Zaha. Talented but still raw and miles away from being ready, screams Connor Wickham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic example of a young, small, quick player so the manager thinks shit! best stick him on the wing out of the way thus far rather than the classic winger.

Jagten Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 If i remember correctly, hoilett was recently played in the middle, before being switched out to the flank where he was 'significantly more effective' . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It'll be interesting what sort of forward we'll (eventually) buy to compliment Ba. For a majority of the season Ba has played deeper than his partner up top. I thought we might go for a strong hold-up player but we appear to be targeting forwards who like to play on the shoulder and get in behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToonZA Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Really cannot see us buying a striker in this window. We need to get the deadwood off the books first (Loven, Smith, possibly Ranger) and it looks like that will only happen over the summer. Would love to have a striker that compliments Ba and can chip in with regular goals. Come summer I fear that instead of drooling about potential partners for Ba, I will be losing my mind with worry about whether we gonna hold onto him. Bar the deadwood, with the players we currently have and a couple of quality additions we really have the opportunity to take the club to the next level. I wish I could see the same confidence coming from the boardroom! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
