New Striker - Speculation

Don't see any point signing a striker unless they're potentially capable of top flight football. Too many expensive average strikers around, so makes perfect sense to see how Lambert/Barnard/Connolly/Guly get on first.

 

Think i agree with you. I was glad to see the Sharp deal collapsed if we were planning on paying £3.25 million for a striker who's barely done it at championship level!

You know what? I think Connolly might find himself a little bit more fitter this season now he's back in the NPC. The signs are all there that he could have a really good season and be very influential. In fact, I'll stick my neck out (in the spirit of the other thread) and predict he will be our best striker this season. There - that'll set the cat amongst the pigeons.

Not for me. I agree totally.

Obviously for a striker in his thirties (DC is 34) injuries are harder to come back from and take longer, but by all accounts Connolly looks sharp and his very presence on the field shows he is in a class on his own. If he gets the luck to stay fit he could be a significant scorer this season. As I recall Kevin Phillips was " thirty-something " when he joined us some years back, and did well.

He moved back to the Prem. after we were relegated but even last season he spent lots of time on the Birmingham bench

(aged 36 ?)..and still came on as late sub. and scored on numerous occasions.
