TRon Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm only worried we are predominantly being linked with strikers that are lone target men. We already gave that imo. Think Mitro will be boosted by the goal and raring to go on Saturday. I would love to see us go for a real pacy striker in the Vardy mould. I think that would add something to the squad that we've been missing since Bellamy was forced out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just came to say striker wise I'd be looking for blistering pace and an ability to stretch defences. But not Riviere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Won't be Dost as he's knackered for 6-8 weeks. Nee idea who we can get but need to act fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Maybe after netting 3 goals. We'll settle down and think we don't need a striker Two centre mids will do. Of course, we've struggled to score all season and only one of the goals last night, was from a striker and it was a penalty. But I'm worried/paranoid we won't get a striker in.

Teasy Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Good, Dost was totally the wrong kind of player to sign, if we were interested at all its good he's now not an option so we can focus on better ones. Same for Remy really if its definite he's staying at Chelsea, don't want to be pissing about waiting for that cunt to make his mind up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two signings suggests they've got some awareness of our problems and giving the manager some semblance of what he's asking for so I think they'll go all out for a striker now. Cisse is never fit and trying to go with only Mitro would be suicidal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...
