KelvinsRightGlove Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 maybe?.....do you think we might sign yet another goalscorer , or ? Well we havn't signed another one, yet
Dark Munster Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Pelle was vital to the attack during the Newcastle game and setup the first goal. ✓ Mane and Elia are not central strikers. Long is injured, Jay Rod is injured and Seager totally unproven. ✓ Look, if we don't get a striker, nothing disasterous will happen, we aren't going to get relegated and it will still be a great season. ✓ However, we will never have a better chance than this to do something really special in the league and without question we are short in the central striker role. ✓ Sure even NickG can't disagree with any of that? I don't know about NickG, but I certainly can't.
saint lard Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Demba Ba wants a return to the premier Lge........scored 14 in 20 appearances for Besiktas,yes I know Turkish football isn't fantastic. Hull,Villa and West brom are after him......I'd be happy if we joined the race. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
benjii Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Ba would be a superb signing if his wages are affordable.
Saint Charlie Posted 30 January, 2015 Author Posted 30 January, 2015 Might as well close this thread as Koeman said today we arent looking for another forward.
Mr X Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 Might as well close this thread as Koeman said today we arent looking for another forward. but we don't have anyone that's capable of being a 20 goal a season striker, pelle all round play is good don't get me wrong but he has missed more chances than hes scored, we need someone to play alongside him and no one seems to be the right match
Mr X Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 our second highest scorer mane has 4 goals! pelle has 8
Lets B Avenue Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 but we don't have anyone that's capable of being a 20 goal a season striker, pelle all round play is good don't get me wrong but he has missed more chances than hes scored, we need someone to play alongside him and no one seems to be the right match Name me a forward who hasn't?
verlaine1979 Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 but we don't have anyone that's capable of being a 20 goal a season striker, pelle all round play is good don't get me wrong but he has missed more chances than hes scored, we need someone to play alongside him and no one seems to be the right match Since 2010/2011 only Tevez, Berbatov, Van Persie, Rooney, Aguero, Suarez, Bale, Toure & Sturridge have finished the season with 20 or more league goals. Obviously there are going to be occasional flukes (Austin might manage it this season), but 20 goal-a-season strikers these days start at about £30m (yes, I know neither Bale or Sturridge cost quite that much, but their value in the season when they did score 20+ was already significantly higher than their original purchase price).
Convict Colony Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 Serious question, if Pelle got injured tomorrow who would go into the centre forward role ?
SNSUN Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 Serious question, if Pelle got injured tomorrow who would go into the centre forward role ? IMO we'd have a false 9 scenario of Mané, Elia and Tadic,rather than starting a youth player, but I do feel we need a striker temporarily, whether we get one or not. Deadline day will be interesting as I reckon Koeman has a trick up his sleeve.

Deadline day will be interesting as I reckon Koeman has a trick up his sleeve. Yeah interesting I did think we'd go the Spain route as we just have no one so maybe koemans fall back is mane in the middle with the other 2 wide and we look to pass to the feet or behind the defenders more. Let's hope it doesn't happen anytime soon.
OfnPanad Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 There's that fellow at Liverpool I hear may be available... Could do a job for us? Rickie something....
Wade Garrett Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 The Sun reckon Spurs are going to put a late bid in for Rodriguez.
St Chalet Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Might as well close this thread as Koeman said today we arent looking for another forward. Perhaps he has found one?
angelman Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 The Sun reckon Spurs are going to put a late bid in for Rodriguez. Love the modern day way of tapping up a player. If he has £60m, then £25-30m would be fine by me.
lloydie Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 I feel we are in an almost compareable position to the year we came up from the championship, and we were looking ok as a team but knew we needed the added fire power, even if its only for 6 months just to cement our position and cross the line. We signed billy sharp, his goals helped us keep momentum to finish 2nd. I feel this is a similar time to get someone to do a job. Lambert would do that. So would ings, or austin or any bloody striker at this rate! We do need more goals though. Maybe we re-sign billy sharp if nothing else comes off?
igsey Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Benteke surely can't be too happy at Aston Villa at the moment...
Deano6 Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 There's that fellow at Liverpool I hear may be available... Could do a job for us? Rickie something.... That's Rickie Lambert. He actually used to play for us mate. I don't think us regular fans who watch a lot of the Saints would have him back...we've moved on now and so has he.
Roger Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 That's Rickie Lambert. He actually used to play for us mate. I don't think us regular fans who watch a lot of the Saints would have him back...we've moved on now and so has he. Would have him back definately.
Turkish Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Still think we missed a trick not signing Craig Mackaill-Smith when we came up from L1
Saint Charlie Posted 28 February, 2015 Author Posted 28 February, 2015 Is this what will ultimately see us dropping to 7th?
Sheaf Saint Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Is this what will ultimately see us dropping to 7th? Yep. Pelle was a total waste of space out there today, and has been for a number of games now. If we had a decent alternative he would have been dropped long ago.
Twiggy Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 I'm lanky as hell and know what shape and where the goal is, can i start?
Saint_clark Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 12 shots off target suggests its not creating but finishing chances that's our problem. So frustrating.
SaintTex Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 I keep wondering who is this mythical striker we missed getting? No one ever mentions names. It's always this vague platitude that the club/board "lacked ambition". Who was out there for the taking? Ready to make the move at a price that made even close to sense? I am ok with dropping Pelle a game or two, and try something different. But what quality striker moves occurred in the EPL this January by any club?

a1ex2001 Posted 28 February, 2015 Posted 28 February, 2015 Did Darren Bent proven premier league goal scorer go on loan to Derby in the transfer window?
