Something March alluded to on another thread, and I think he hit on something. I think we're too nice at the moment and need a bruiser up front. Not necessarily filthy, but physical to hold the ball up and bring our classier players more into the game.
Ideally he would be prolific, but maybe with the right attributes he doesn't need to be.
Diouf almost cuts it, but not quite (for me). I just think we look a bit lightweight up front,and need some oomph.
Who can provide it?

Maybe Mitrovic??? If Chelsea weren't after Llorente hed be a good shout |

The squad is certainly crying out for someone up front who can hold the ball up and take pressure off the rest of the team, especially with Crouch not gettting any younger.
It goes without saying that Sidibe's scoring record wasn't great, but he was invaluable in games when we needed someone to act as an outlet and hold the ball up, back to goal, in the opponents half of the pitch

I'm not advocating route one football, by the way, just think it's a weakness of ours at the moment.

Robert Huth can play up front remember!! That would be fun to watch, well for the time he's on the pitch before getting sent off.

we certainly need someone who can be a the point of attack , Crouch still does better than any of the others but is not suited to one up front , not easy to find , no idea how swansea managed to get Lorente in he is a class act , maybe if we get Jansen in he can , but no sign of Spuds signing a replacement as yet

Will be interesting to see what happens with Deeney, Slimani and Janssen over the next 36 hours or so.

I've heard Costa is looking for a move to a club who play in red & white striped tops He is a truly horrible player, cheeky loan until January? |

They found him in a brochure called The Huge Book of Big Nasty Bastards. Is it available in HARDback? No but it is available on Kindle. It is called "Football, Bloody Hell" by Sir Alex Ferguson. Great read. |

I dont think slimani is prem quality though Not convinced by Deeney, good attitude and a different style to what we have but he is just alright as a player, can't see him scoring more than 5-10 goals. |

I honestly think we missed a trick when Newcastle came in for Joselu. I think we could have prized Mitrovic out of him on the cheap maybe even a straight swap. Worth a chance he's got the attributes to be a good centre forward. I know he's short of goals but so is Janssen for a lot more money and with less attributes of a targetman. Ok he's been a hot head but maybe he's maturing. |
