TRon Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'm tempted to throw Bendtner in there as well but I would prefer to sign a mobile striker. I'm prepared to believe that Ba will come good when we play proper football instead of launching the ball at him aerially from deep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Quichà Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 More chance of signing Baloo ffs. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SOdZ7K7jo9Y/S2NTS6_ruLI/AAAAAAAAAoc/Agln93Rc0pU/s400/Baloo+the+Bear.jpg ? Well he's got some height I suppose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlackAndWhite Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Even though i know nothing of him Roux sounds the more likely but i'm not convinced we will get a striker in. Deadline day loan bid for Bellamy wouldn't surprise me. No basis to it just a hunch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 It would be canny if we could find a local lad, tall, good in the air, to play centre forward like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I have not a clue, although hopefully its a striker of a high calibre and not someone like David N'Gog on loan. The bottom line is that this club should be striving to compete in Europe again, not sell all its best players and bring in mediocre replacements whilst languishing in lower mid-table with a wafer thin squad.

Sifu Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Got a feeling it will be either Erdinc or Roux. Based on absolutely nowt, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Definitely somebody with a bit of pace and movement - ie so we'll be encouraged to play the ball on the deck rather than persist with this long ball shite that we've been playing. Yeah, I'd tend to agree that someone with pace and movement is desirable up front. As opposed to someone without... http://centralresa.villasdumonde.fr/imagesUP/news/243/Standing-Stones-of-Carnac,-.jpg This guy's French. Bit more mobile than Demba Ba and all, like...

Sifu Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Season long loan of David NGog. Wouldn't mind him now given our current situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hoping it's a pacey type (if we get anyone at all), as without that kind of player we'll be entirely reliant on Ben Arfa for some sort of incision in the final third this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Season long loan of David NGog. Wouldn't mind him now given our current situation. N'Gog is absolute s***.

Guest ToonArmyST Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 N'Gog is s***.We need fast strike who can score goal every 2 or 3 games,i want Sturridge on loan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 What worries me most is the fact that Ba scored most of his goals at WHam when he was partnered by Carlton Cole. It will come as no surprise to me if we sign Cole on deadline day ( if we dont get anyone else in beforehand). Parsnip seems to place high emphasis on signing players he has worked with before or are at clubs where he previously managed and has contacts, hence Elliot at Charlton and Ba from WHam.

Parsnip seems to place high emphasis on signing players he has worked with before or are at clubs where he previously managed and has contacts, hence Elliot at Charlton and Ba from WHam. So we have Elliot, who only really knows Woodman, and Ba who has been at the hammers a few months under a completely different regime to the one Pardew worked under? That's a hell of a stretch saying he places high emphasis on signing players he has worked with before or are at clubs where he previously managed tbf.

Ketsbaia Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I reckon we'll work hard on Maiga and Roux and when it gets to the final day we'll scattergun a few bids for Bendtner, Sturridge (loan), Papiss Cisse and others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 The policy of brinkmanship isn't going to land us the likes of Maiga or any other important first team striker as their clubs will have no time to get in replacements. We'll have to cough up the money required or go for players who are surplus to their clubs like Bendtner. Another reason why I believe we'll not be getting the striker in.
