With the signing of Cisse hopefully iminent we seem to be a bit top heavy with forwards. Which of the seven will make the 25 man squad ? Mackie Smith Bothroyd Cisse Helguson DJ Macheda In my opinion (for what its worth) i would like to see Bothroyd sent on loan to a championship team to get some confidence back, as at the moment he cant trap a bag of sand or score in a brothel with a pocketful of 50 pound notes... who would you send out on loan ?
Mackie never gets played up front and Smith very rarely has done, so that's two for a start. Macheda is only 20 so exempt too I assume. Kenny Cerny Ferdinand Onuoha Taiwo Hill Young Gabbidon Hall Orr Barton SWP Traore Diakite Mackie Smith Derry Buzsaky Taarabt Cisse Helguson DJC Bothroyd Hulse That leaves space for one more.
Well unless we're going to sign three more players on top of Cisse and Diakite in two days then they might as well be in there. I always liked Connolly but he doesn't seem able to fulfil his early potential.
