Winn Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 In order of priority 2 main strikers (Urgent) Cabaye replacement (Urgent) 2 wingers Needed (Needed) solid utility full back (Needed) 1 backup striker (Nice) Centre back (Nice) Pointless opinion but makes me feel better.

Lotus Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Wouldn't get upset if the press links us with these players. It's as likely as there agents just trying to drum up some interest or hope for a better deal from their current club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if we would pay over £5m for a Championship player with no resale value, very little merit in it imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 27 years old with a worse Championship strike rate than Shola 'Super Eagle' Ameobi. I just hope we can beat all the other teams in the race to seal the signature of this deadly pie eating marksman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we can beat all the other teams in the race to seal the signature of this deadly pie eating marksman. Pish. He's scored the same amount of league goals for Leeds (3ish seasons) as Shola has managed in his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I didn't say how many goals he'd scored, I said strike rate. While he was managing about 1 in 5 in the McMickey Mouse league Shola was in the prem so I went off their Championship records. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Ross McCormack. I think it's harsh to laugh at him. POTY, FPOTY and GOTS for Leeds last season plus 29 goals in 53. He's a bloody good Championship striker but I firmly believe he can't hack the Premiership. Saying that he's better than having literally nobody. More the concept of us going for him in the first place tbh. He's 27, this wouldn't be us going for an exciting youngster from the lower leagues. We're pathetic.

captainhaircut Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 If we'd went for Rickie Lambert 4 years ago, everyone would have been saying the same. In fact, I think a lot were when we were linked with him after the Carroll sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Aye the world cup moves the line, so any players that we haven't got across the line will then be further away from the line making it harder to get them across the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I like the move for McCormack. I like to see someone coming of a great year in the Championship, get a chance in the premier league. However, this is usually impossible, because their prices sky rocket, especially as they are usually from these shores. McCormack is in the last year of his deal though, and so his price seems reasonable as it's looking like somewhere between £6 and £8 million, which is fair I think. He's only 27 too, which is a good age. I wouldn't be against it, but we'd still need one more upfront. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 £6-8m is a fair price for a decent Championship striker almost out of contract? You're clinically insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Is he actually a striker? Thought he played more in a Nolan-type role.. He seems like one of those players who is too good for the championship but not good enough for the premier league. I'd rather go for Ings or Rhodes - if we have to buy an British player from the championship, I'd rather it be someone young... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
