Disco Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 We have loads of forwards who just aren't up to it. No way would I be prepared to rely on any of them for any amount of time. Precisely, that's why bringing in another squad player would be absolutely pointless. Oh right, good point. More to do with my wording in previous posts. This striker needs to be a 'first teamer' then. back up LB, first team striker, first team winger in that order of priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This striker needs to be a 'first teamer' then. And that's what I highly doubt will happen, considering Pardew's comments and the number of seemingly unsellable strikers we already have on the books. Can't see Ashley advocating bringing in another striker on decent wages, as a starter surely would be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Striker please. Keane will do for me.. Let's keep random speculation out of this. So you've started a thread about strengthening the squad but you're not happy about people speculating as to which positions and players we need to strengthen? Odd.

Happy to speculate about the areas we need to strengthen. Totally against throwing random players names into posts, yes. Seems obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 We still have Gosling and Ben Arfa to come back in. The most important thing is to get someone up front asap. If Keane is available on loan then we should go for that option immediately. If we signed someone on loan then we could also sign another forward on a permanent basis, while also spending here and there on better squad players. Only the first sentence will actually happen though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 It's not realistic to expect all our poor players to go in one window, it will take at least 2 to get most gone and I see Smith being a situation like Butt's with his contract just going down.

But you intend it to be so whatever. Think I just needed to vent and make sure that everyone else was still on the right wavelength in regards to the absolute disarray the squad is in. Reckon we can keep this open to discuss our progress throughout January, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 It is a pretty pointless thread if you don't want people putting names to the positions. I think it'd be a bit of a boring thread if we just keep reading 'Yeah, we need a striker' over and over and over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Pointless thread? Hell no. I've already outlined what I wanted, and at this point the thread has produced. Unless somebody has a different perspective there is no point adding to it at this stage. However, it will prove useful throughout January - as I've already explained.

Robster Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Forgive me for speaking on Dresden's behalf but I am guessing that he saw Keane as a completely unrealistic possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 If we can bring in a few loans or cheap buys in January that improve the depth I'll be happy. We should survive with that. Then it's up to Ashley, it's painfully obvious where the squad needs helps, if he's willing to spend, we can have a decent side and a chance at a top half finish.

toontownman Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 We will bring in two players at the most. Some classic knee jerking today, granted we were always inadequete upfront and some people have always questioned the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
