    Isn't Josh listed as a Striker too for this season, I think?

    That's just to make the squad appear more balanced to the neutral - and the board of directors.
    We all know his most effective position - so does the gaffer. Just because he cuts inside now and again - like most wingers (Redmond used to do it often) doesn't make him a striker <grr>
    Tosh and flannel. Bah!

    So was listing Naismith as a Striker :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Plus we all know he hates Lafferty's guts, so he shouldn't be on the list. If he gets any game time at all, we know AN is in a real striker panic, despite what he tells us.

    I think Josh could make the transition to a Simeon Jackson sort of striker. Wenger converted Henry from a winger to a striker to good effect. I still think he'll stay at WL most of the time but he looked sharp in the pre-season and could offer another option as an impact sub striker.

    Can I also draw peoples attention to the Score and Line-up prediction leagues. The Score prediction only involves the predicted final score and City's first scorer. The easiest way for the line-up prediction is to copy and paste one already posted and make your own adjustments to suit. Go on - have a go

    If we sell him, without getting in at least 1 Striker before hand, I'll go F**king nuts!

    We can't keep selling players then failing with bids for their replacements! Get our targets in first!! Then think about unloading the deadwood.

    Tweet from commentator and closet City fan Dan O'Hagan
    Dan O'Hagan ‏@danohagan
    Aytaç Sulu from Darmstadt, and Britt Assombalonga from Forest would be the two I'd be chasing were I Alex, Jez and Ed... #NCFC

    Wiki is quite gushing about his defensive qualities. Dan does an awful lot of match commentaries on the Bundesliga for Fox, ESPN, whoever screens the matches, so he knows the German leagues inside out.

    Ah right. Is that just a player he's picked out? Or have we been linked to him?

    I guess he's looking at the perceived frailties of our squad and tried to put round pegs in round holes in order to plug them at a realistic price? Unlike some people closer to the squad <whistle> <laugh>

    He was a guest on Mustard TV's football magazine program '#3upfront' once, does that count? ;)

    We are currently leading 4-0, this will give a good vibe to potential recruits. 5-0 would be (greedily) better.

    AN states that he wants two strikers before the window closes CitySlicker, so hopefully your fears are groundless.

    Could this be one of them? I'd be happy with this, as long as it wasn't at idiotic Ross-esque prices and terms. He's been mentioned in dispatches (on here) before.

    Wells and Kodija are the logical rumours from other championship sides. If it's two strikers though, I imagine one will be a bit more of a gamble from overseas.
