Guest sicko2ndbest Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm a little worried about the Fact we havnt been linked with many out and out centre forwards Gervinho/nzog are both forward players but they need a fulcrum. A shearer/Carroll type player is ideal Is Sow/Gameiro this type of player? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yes both are with Gameiro very classy one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Recoba Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Erdinc linked to us again. He says he is flattered. Apparently we bid 4 or 5 million last season. I could see us going in again, he could be our number 9. He had a poor season and PSG could use the cash to get gameiro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 wouldn't say gameiro is a physical treath at all. So calling him a shearer/carroll type of player? Now Sow maybe.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 If the striker, say Gameiro, was talented enough and still a goal threat - i'd take a punt on not having a 'physical' striker. A team pumped with pace, flair and movement (so long as everyone was firing on all cylinders) would be a refreshing change. We've got bits and pieces of it fluttering around, mainly down the left side... add Zog, HBA and [Gameiro] to that and we've got some rather delightful carpet football. Entirely hypothetical like, but all i'm saying is - i wouldn't say a target man is an absolute necessity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Recoba Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 We were def in for Erdinc last summer, he is possibly available now. Would prefer him to Sow, we should avoid players with ACN commitments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Recoba Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 They call him Erdinc in Turkey and Erding in France, I think. He's French but plays for Turkey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OoOGazOoO Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Jeez, we want someone who can score goals, Carlton Cole does not exactly meet the criteria of goalscorer, in my opinion. He isnt what we are looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WashyGeordie Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 £9mil?! Jeezaz. Hope to god we're not in for him, especially for that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 £9mil?! Jeezaz. Hope to god we're not in for him, especially for that price. doubt he'll go for anywhere near that (I don't think they'd get 9m for Parker let alone Cole), and i'd examine the sanity of anyone who paid that much for him. then again didn't we get 9m or so for oba so theres always stupid people out there....

Chris_R Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Carlton Cole? No. Just no. This is a man who has never scored more than 10 league goals per season (12 in all competitions is his best return). This year, his return is 5 from 28. He makes "Homegrown Striking Ace" Shola Ameobi look fucking prolific. Laughably he had never scored 2 goals in a PL game until boxing day just gone. At 27 and having played up front your entire career, that's fucking disgraceful. Career stats of 52 in 248 in all competitions says it all. One in 5 ffs. The man's a fraud.

TRon Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I think managers like Cole because he's good at bringing other players into the game. Good first touch and a decent in the air. Let's face it, it's not his prowess in front of goal that gets their notice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Should be avoided at all cost. Especially more than 2-3mil.. Cole is identical to Shola in terms of his mentality/confidence/determination and it would make no sense to bring in another notorious under-performer.. unless we're planning on getting rid of Lovenkrands/Ranger which is not very likely..
