SaintAndy14 Posted 8 October, 2017 Share Posted 8 October, 2017 I'd quite like to see Ings - Saints fan and surely Liverpool will want rid with all of their attacking options? Should be an upgrade on Austin as more hardworking and knows how to finish. May be similar to Jay Rod, however, in the sense that serious long-term injury may have caused him to decline as a player.

stu0x Posted 8 October, 2017 Share Posted 8 October, 2017 Bas Dost. Same player I wanted us to sign in summer '16 when Pelle went. He was making kissy faces at us back then as well, but apparently we didn't need him because Austin was our Pelle replacement (despite the fact he's not the same type of player, we already had him, and he had basically been injured most of the time we'd had him which should have been an indication of his reliability). We desperately need a proper number 9. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsland Red Posted 10 October, 2017 Share Posted 10 October, 2017 We need regular goals. think now is the time to get in a striker with a premier league track record - Walcott. Experiments like Osvaldo, Juanmi etc have failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKD Posted 10 October, 2017 Share Posted 10 October, 2017 Sell either Long or Austin and bring a better quality striker Buy a better right sided attacker than Redmond Get a better quality player than Tadic Spot on, IMO. Our lack of goals is more than just needing a striker. Our wide men (who play fairly high and practically as forwards) offer little to nothing these days.

St Louis Posted 11 October, 2017 Share Posted 11 October, 2017 Theo Walcott & Jack Wilshere Two players who could add flair and goals to our midfield/attack, and who will both be motivated to play games and get a World Cup place. Two talented players who were flying a few years back and very highly regarded, but have had a poor couple of seasons. We are often good at turning these sorts of players around (Crouch, Palmer, Romeu, etc) who have maybe struggled a bit at their previous club. And I think realistically we would appeal to them both, maybe with wages being the only stumbling block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu0x Posted 11 October, 2017 Share Posted 11 October, 2017 We all seem want a proven striker who scores goals. So what was Austin when we bought him? Sent from my SM-G920F using TapatalkHe was a penalty box player who finished well and converted chances regularly for lower PL and Championship clubs, albeit he was never renowned especially for his heading ability or hold up play unlike a traditional number 9. He preferred the ball into feet and used his strength and decision making to create space in front of goal. He was also notoriously injury prone. For some unknown reason the club decided to ignore all of this and retrospectively claim he was the replacement to our 'real' #9 who we let go and failed to replace, and then play him predominantly deep, on the left of a 3, or both. On the odd occasion Puel played him as a centre forward he generally did well. For what it's worth, I don't think Austin should be completely disregarded, I think he and Gabbiadini would complement each other quite nicely as a striker/inside forward combination. But even if we are to get the best out of him, he's never shown sufficient consistency in form or fitness to be relied upon as the main option up front over the course of a season.

So the question is should the manger play a certain way and coach the players to adapt to the system or should the manager look at the players in his squad and play a system that gets the best out of them?

It's not just the strikers. Everyone from defensive midfield forward is a square peg in a round hole. I wonder if it's coincidence that we are utterly bereft of attacking threat...
