Saw we have been linked with Anichebe again, it's like Groundhog Day with that one- not fussed about him but we need players so beggars probably can't be choosers

He's another one of these non-scoring strikers. I remember Everton fans were so glad to get rid of him.
 
I was watching U21 match and QPR were getting a lot of players in the penalty area at a corner so Tony Pennock got a few of our players to stand on the half way line and their players ran back from the penalty area to the half way line.
Defend with everyone back.
That's one of my pet hates and one which SB insisted on.
Always leave a striker on the half way at corners and they have to drop two back.
 
There aren't that many players it could be- foreign striker who has played in the Premier League before- and certainly few who have been successful.
Thinking about it,
Kramaric
Vela
Jovetic
van Wolfswinkel
Kalinic
Caiceido
van Persie are about the only names I can come up with

Jelavic, Jo, Bendtner, Cornelius, Soldado,
 
I don't think Nixon (or any other source) had suggested it is a 'socks off now!' signing - just that it's a foreign striker.

More likely to be of the standard of a Mauro Zarate or Samaras than anything great I fear.
 
I spent a year working at a Scout Centre.. whenever I had to take a session teaching kids how to do fires I had to get someone else to take it with me as I was always ****ing hopeless. <laugh>

Help starting fires? I bet you didn't need anyone to take the session on how to start arguments <laugh><laugh>
 
Not got time to read a lot of comments but we still need another attacking midfielder,a central defender and somebody like Bony up front to partner Hernandez who despite an eye for goal,still lacks a physical presence for me and is totally crap in the air.
 
Of the names mentioned so far, Javier Hernandez would be the ideal signing, but having scored at 2 in 3 for Leverkusen last year I sadly think it unlikely it'll be him, can't see why they'd let him go

Bony just went to Stoke, it isn't him.
