Lush Vlad Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 We have Riviere and Toney Plus Perez (sort of). Cisse is allegedly not that far away, either. I just remember reading they're supposed to be happy with the defensive options and I worry they might feel the same regarding strikers. I'm probably just worrying over nowt. But we need another striker. Problem is, we often just play one up top and we have to convince someone to come here. Are we going to get someone who regularly plays ahead of Mitrovic? It's kind of like Arsenal needing a new striker. Who are they going to realistically get, that will play ahead of Giroud? Who is decent enough, that will sign, just to sit on the bench. Obviously, our's is the poor man's version. Hope they don't gamble on it until the end of the season. Mitrovic is never going to be prolific and Cisse is shit.

We don't score enough goals and concede too many until this is resolved we will be in the relegation figth all the way to the end. Over to you fact cunt but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't think we'll get a striker either, that's why McClaren was making such a big deal about Riviere being fit again, although I don't think he was even on the bench yesterday was he?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The right striker is going to be hard to sign. Ideally needs to be someone with extreme pace to play off Mitrovic, I doubt we'll want to sign another central striker right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Wide left forward has to be the priority, then a CB or LB. Play Wini behind Mitro with a new left winger/forward and have Perez as an impact sub. Yes, exactly what we need to do. Rapid wide left forward.

StrandedX02 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I see Carroll's been ruled out another 4-6 weeks. Utterly useless player. I assume it's the same people who like Colback, but I can't believe there's a contingent that wants him back. Barely plays at this point and hasn't been any better than "pretty good" in the five years since we shipped him out. Sure, there's a parallel universe where NUFC didn't sell him and he became the next Shearer, but in real life he's a huge waste of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when healthy, he's not looked an impressive player for years. I'd much rather start Mitrovic and struggle through his learning process than bring back Carroll.

Me too, but Carroll's main issue is his fitness and not his actual ability, it's always going to be difficult for players to find form when they're sidelined most of the season. I'm speaking in hypotheticals anyway, not even sure why Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
