Robster Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Since when do Premier League teams have a 25 man squad btw? Wasn't it always the case that the manager could pick his 16 players for every match? New rule for this season. Maximum of 25 players over 21, including 8 players who spent three seasons in England before turning 22. That avatar man. I thought you answered your own question there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 We know how nice Hughton is, this is just continuing his "praise them in public" phase. I'm sure he isn't stupid enough to not get a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Blatantly going into the season with Carroll, Shola, Best, Lovenkrands and Xisco - and loaning Ranger out. Can see us not signing any forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see us not signing any forwards. We must hope that Xisco comes around or Carroll turns into a top player. That is an atrocious strike force. Not one in there I trust.

IMO Carroll has improved a lot during last season and we'll see that in the Premiership, not saying he's great, but he'll do ok IMO and can still get better.

Cronky Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Blatantly going into the season with Carroll, Shola, Best, Lovenkrands and Xisco - and loaning Ranger out. Can see us not signing any forwards. I'm not so sure. There's an imbalance, in that four out of the five are basically target men. I think Hughton will be looking for a better player than Lovenkrands for the more secondary striker role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I think he'd sooner play an attacking-midfielder like Cleverley or Ben Arfa off Carroll than another striker, or failing signing someone new, Nolan or even Vuckic in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 This season should be Shola's last chance to prove himself, that is if we stay up. Should be, but won't be. His 'experience' is vital and all that bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovenkrands is a less of a 'secondary striker' than any of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
