    Cheers, my point was more that Nolan isn't a Striker! <laugh>

    Would be happy if we got Erding, I think last year for him was just a dip in form. Even the best strikers in the world go through these. Looks a pacey skillful forward with a good finish.

    I wish he was here. I don't think he is, I think you could spot him a mile off. Mainly because he'd make 5 topics about a week about the latest u19 Polish starlight.

    Either way only the very top teams have '20 goal a season' strikers anyway, it just doesn't happen like it did in the 90's. If a player reaches 15 its a good year, so 'only 12' last season isn't horrendous, French league or not.

    He's obviously got ability, just got to hope we can get him back to player of the year form. Should we get him of course.

    this said he only scored 8 ligue 1 (i'm guessing he got 4 in europe)
    see Cabaye is 6th for assists

    And only Niang and Gameiro scored more than him the season before, whilst he scored more than 259 other goalscorers.

    Whats your point? Odenwinge had never scored more than 8 in a season and he scored 15 in his 1st season in the EPL for WBA, its horses for courses

    DJ Campbell scored more goals than Torres guess that makes him a better player

    It was in response to Colly. I'm not knocking the lad, i know nothing of him, but 12 goals isn't much for a striker when all those others scored more than you, and some of them were in poorer teams. It's not like he created much either with just 2 assists. I just don't want to see the club spunk money on someone who's no better than what we have?

    He is better than what we have, He has pace which we are lacking (McLovin's legs went about 2 years ago) and he has a bit skill which we deffo lack (unless you like Shola's Bambi on ice approach) he isn't a 20-30 goal a season striker but then again there arn't many of them around anymore, he will get 10-15 which is what we need, non of the current strikers are capable of this

    I'll agree with you on the pace and skill bit. On watching that video i instantly likened him to Hernandez.

    SSN are saying we're after Craig Gardner from Brum ffs. This can't be true, he's nowt special and we're already overstocked on CMs.
