The one thing we all know is that we have to start scoring more goals. We all know that we need to start creating more chances and hopefully we will get a better quality supply of ball from a couple of new midfielders. Obviously even if that did happen though our tally wouldn't crank up noticably due to Mama's lack of striker's instinct. Ric isn't an out and out scorer so ideally whoever comes in will be able to carry our main threat in the 18 yard box and get beyond double figures consistently. This is why I worry about Heskey coming in (there's no doubt he'd be better than Mama) as I suspect the goals won't flow from him. KJ is a far better goal scorer but if the Mackems want £12m+ and he wants £60k a week I just can't see us going for it. The same can be said for Carlton Cole, he'd be excellent but I just can't see us going "all in" for a deal like that. I can only therefore assume that TP is finally going to throw a curve ball and bring someone in with good pedigree from abroad, I haven't a clue who play pass and move with Tuncay in the hole but I am hoping we won't be disappointed! ;D

I`ve put this in another thread, but maybe Zigic moving to Birmingham could free up the young lad Jerome?
He seems to tick all of our boxes and hasnt been spoken about yet as far as I can see???

We should know better, we kept saying how good we were against the Mackems at the Brit and look where that got us! Kitson won't play again, Liam's off and Higgy ended up getting dropped!

I'm actually pissed off about this, how long have we been linked to him and have done nothing to get him in. Birmingham then take action and they've landed their man pending a medical. I just wish we would move faster sometimes.

any1 mentioned fraizer campbell ? just a thought , if there intrested in tunny! sum sort of swap , neither made a masive impact , could suit us both, and give us some much needed pace ! every1 needs to stop all this panic , tp will buy quality, he got us here & kept us here show some faith in our leader.

Zigic will be the tallest player at the World Cup.
But that aside I'm sick of seeing his bloody name.

sounds familiar
"City's manager, Alex McLeish, has refused to comment on Birmingham's interest in Zigic, although he admitted that offers have been tabled for a couple of players. "There are irons in the fire. We have put in bids for players. It would be unfair of me to talk about names at the moment. It would be unfair to the clubs and also to the fans if things don't happen. But I think they will be excited about one or two of the names we are pursuing and what we are trying to add to the squad is players of quality."

Dear God. A few weeks ago 'the wrist slashers' were moaning that Brum were about to sign Rodallega ahead of us, now they seem to be after Zigic does that mean they are getting both of them ? Some wanted a change of style, so lets sign a giant forward !!!! Maybe Zigic's family comes from a village near that of a certain Bosnian goalkeeper and they don't get on, maybe Zigic hates the colour red, maybe, maybe maybe

After what Cilla said this morning there are clearly better around that are still available that we have a chance of getting in the current climate.

I don't see the Yak thing, WD ;D
I just don't see the target man attributes and hard work Pulis would be looking for there.
I think he's far more of a Fuller when he's at his best (which hasn't been for a couple of years after a serious achilles injury)
Santa Cruz fits the profile, but £12m would be a ludicrous figure if Zig has gone for 50% of that figure.

I think he could do a similar job to what Beats did (first season).
They worked as a front two and there were goals to be had (what the Yak specialises in)

I would love to see the Yak here and he is more realistic than most of the others but like Grapey he's more of a Fuller type.
So we can add Zigic to O'Hara and Chong Yong Lee to the list of players we've turned down in the past 12 months.
