Quoted from It Bites


Haaland , Kane  Salah ... I can go on if you like


With the exception of Haaland, the other two don’t just hang around up top…Kane drops in to his own half regularly to try and inject some pace in to a move…Mane, Messi, Ronaldo, Bogle, Hearn, Saka, and then list goes on…all strikers who score 15+ but don’t just goal poach…the games moved on, nobodies denying we couldn’t do with a more effective front man but it’s not the be all and end all…9 goals in the playoffs…2 ‘strikers’ scored 3 goals…


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Yes, go on. Name more. What you’re doing is illustrating the point. There aren’t that many. There are 20 prem clubs and nigh on 60 other clubs above us in the pecking order. Do share all those line leading, big unit 20 goal a season strikers that exist.

I don’t know how loudly I need to shout this, but nobody is asking for a 20 goal striker. That’d be nice, but I’d snap your hand off for 12


Shout as long and loud as you like, it won't speed things along.

We'll get someone in eventually.

I’m sure we will, I hope it’ll be this window, but if we don’t, how many more windows do we keep churning out the ‘eventually’ card? Genuine question, because 2 years is ample time for me.

Seems strange to say ‘speed things along’ as it’s somehow impatient to want a striker after 2 years of looking

Someone posted something earlier and it got me thinking. Would it be wise to get that star striker in now on a 2.5 year deal, only for someone to buy him in the summer, putting us back at square one and having to wait another 4 windows for a striker?

But that would suggest we haven't had a striker for 2 years, which isn't the case.

Taylor and McAtee got us promoted last season if I'm not mistaken.    

  What you are basically saying is that we haven't signed a striker that you deem worthy of the name.

We get balls on behind plenty, we need a poacher .
Taylor isn’t a poacher at all. Yes he holds the ball up and gets headers to no one as he’s isolated most of the time.

I’m not a fan but he would be a good foil for another speedy striker running off him bits that not what hurst does.
We need a bit of speed up top with someone that gets into scoring positions.

Ivan Toney, Mitrovic...I'm sure people can keep adding to the list, Man City went for Haaland for that exact reason, they knew the missing piece to their jigsaw was a big, physical striker and look how imperious they are now. They are a dying breed, they command top dollar and down out our level they are even rarer.

I suspect Paul Hurst won’t mind.

Like McAtee for instance?

We have had our bad spells when either one of them has been unavailable.

McAtee last season and Taylor this season.
