Ishmael Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 In Ba's defence it seemed like every time we broke he made a run off the shoulder of a defender and we just kept choosing the easy option into Shola's feet. Someone further forward in midfield would help the link up play We couldn't get anybody there due to the opposition. If we did push a cm up there we'd have lost.

bowlingcrofty Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 The season has started, it's diabolical management that we don't already have a striker in TBH Absolutely criminal that we've had no Carroll for 8 months and we've known Enrique wanted out for equally as long, we've been sat there with 35m to sort it and we're now a match into the season, with the biggest away game of the year on Saturday, and neither position even looks like being imminently sorted.

TRon Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Watched Shane Long today and he really put himself about as well as get the goal against top premier opposition. While one swallow doesn't make a summer, there's something to be said for buying players you've scouted and really want rather than run down a list of free transfers/clause releases etc. I hope we've done our homework on the next striker coming in because we definitely need a pacy forward who'll work the channels rather than another big lad to fight for the high balls without particularly holding the ball up well.

Wullie Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 All of Ba's goals at West Ham were either scrambled in after the ball was bouncing around in the area or headed in from a free kick and most of the goals I can find on Youtube scored by him at Hoffenheim are very similar too. Nothing wrong with that of course, being in the right place at the right time is obviously a hell of a lot more difficult than it looks, but is he a player who will make things happen himself up front? He strikes me as a more clinical and dangerous version of what we've got and that's great but we're absolutely desperate for pace, mobility and skill in the striking department, as well as (simplistic as it sounds) a decent shot, it's putting too much responsibility on the midfield when our strikers all need 'service'. Whoever we sign really needs to be able to make things happen, whether it be for himself or others. In conclusion, sign Daniel Sturridge ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 In conclusion, sign Daniel Sturridge ffs. I think that's something nearly every fan of every club is saying though. I guess most of them don't have £40m or so in the bank... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexthegreat Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Still got a feeling we'll end up with Erdinc. I saw a quote from him saying hes going to 'fight for his place' which usually means sit and pick up money for doing nothing If hes just sitting on the bench at PSG then surely he'd come here if we matched the wages hes on now. Cabaye has sacrificed champions league football to come here from France, cant see why Erding would be that desperate to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess most of them don't have £40m or so in the bank... Well exactly. It's a big chance for us to get a player who is going to be an absolutely top class striker who would completely change the dynamics of our team because he's a constant threat wherever he has the ball. We won't take it of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think Rodallega will come at a premium price which will be far more than he's worth. Whelan will screw us over big time so I think that's a no goer. I'm hopeful that we'll still strike Erdinc tbh. At least that's a player who Carr clearly rates and has been following.
