Striker Search

I still wonder if he can cut it in the championship. It seems odd that it is taking so long for someone to snap him up. Maybe it is an attitude problem that has put people off.

 

There is a history of that with strikers from Rotherham

 

Ever been there BB? It might explain a lot.

 

According to David Gold on Twitter Baldock had his medical 28 minutes ago and is now A WHU player.

 

Le Fondre seems to have confirmed on Twitter that he is signing with Reading tomorrow. So that's the end to two long running bits of speculation.

It also appears Shefki Kuqi might have retired ;-)

 

I wonder where we are looking then? bargain basement anyone?

Not a striker - not happy with Le Fondre going to Reading - I see him as another Kevin Phillips.

 

Reading have a very good track record with signing strikers and selling them on at a massive profit. I will watch his progress with interest.

From a few snippets of action I have seen I like the look of Miller at Crewe.

 

I know people arent going to like it but Exeter have just signed Rowan Vine on loan. This is the sort of striker who could do a job for us and surprised we haven't snapped him up.

 

Wonder if were still interested in Cody Macdonald

 

The rumour mill is now linking us with Nile Ranger and Heider Helguson for a third stay. The Ranger deal is also wrapped up in the sale of Loach to Newcastle with Hannehmann coming in on a free to replace him. No credible sources here, but both players are well down the pecking order at their current clubs.

 

Cody Macdonald seems to be going to Peterborough

Nile Ranger might be a good signing, but has he had some attitude problems..?

 

Looks like Ranger might be going to Blackpool, after previously turning them down!!

 

No way. Injury prone, and lost all capability to play at this level.

Seen him a few times for QPR, and he just is not up to it.

 

Looks like Elliot the Charlton keeper is going to the Toon now, so that kills the Loach side of that rumour too.

 

Good! He sounds like trouble. We're not desperate for a striker, if the market's not right then there's no point in rushing things...

 

Yes - that's what Arsene Wenger keeps saying

 

We could do worse than let Whichelow have a run in the side upfront with Marvin.

 

Here here!! He was a good sub last year and scored a couple too, why not have him on the bench rather than 4 defensive players and 1 attacker as we did on sunday.

 

Totally agree, the unwillingness to put our promising youngsters in the matchday squad and the lack of game changing options on the bench is one of the things I find particularly odd.
