ChrisMcQuillan Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 It's galling to think a year ago we had one of the most feared strike forces in the Premier in Ba and Cisse, with Best as a battering ram option. Here we are in summer 2013 with Ba and Best gone and Cisse looking on the way out as well. All I will say is this thread will be interesting in the next few weeks, mark my Wonga-tastic words. What, it wouldn't be like us to sell them all and not replace? Add to that we've got rid of Lovenkrands, and are looking rid of Ameobi. And we want to replace all of them with Darren Bent. It sounds like a bad joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean the plan is to sell our entire strikeforce and replace them all with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only need to sell Cisse and that's our strikerforce gone, as Shola and Adam Campbell to me are not 1st team players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it hard to believe that we've planned to shift our entire strikeforce and sign Bent. If you actually think that's the strategy then fair enough, I can't prove it isn't.

It doesn't really matter whether we planned to shift our entire strikeforce, the fact is, in a matter of 12 months that's what we've done, including two of the most feared strikers in the premier in Ba and (soon) Cisse. Neither will have lasted here much more than a year after rocketing us towards almost qualifying for the CL a year ago. It will be interesting to see who we bring in to replace Ba and Cisse but those are some pretty big boots to fill, and until I see some signatures I'll remain skeptical.

I don't disagree with any of that, but I was responding to a point about whether it was our plan to sell them all and replace them with Bent. The problem is a specific point always gets turned into a general agenda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
