So, Striker then

[baja the hut]

What's clear to me is that with a centre forward we would have been quite a few points up on what we are:

 

With that in mind, who do you think we should get?

 

Mods, I hope it's not too early

[Earl Hafler]

Give Yesil a chance against Swansea. Start Assaidi in the league for Suso or Sterling.

[Swan Red]

nah, like have a point or something and we're not having a transfer thread in October

[dorgie]

Drogba.

Can we have this as a Yesil to the first team thread and then let it organically morph into a transfer thread.

Rodgers should try something slightly different now and rotate the youngsters - long season ahead

For all their verve and ability, Suso and Sterling have one goal between them in 10 league starts. Assaidi deserves his chance.

 

Play him with Yesil in the league cup and see what happens

 

There's little point in discussing ideal targets yet, but i think there's one to be had about the front three. Lots of pace in attack, not so much in midfield. There's an imbalance there and i think we're too eager to pass to the front players without supporting them. This is more noticeable as Gerrard is playing more reserved role, and in some games, i think Sahin has been isolated or detached from the game

 

Needs tweeking

Centre forward doesn't make a difference today or most other games so far this season. Far too reductionist to suggest as such.

[Barnesy_10]

Drogba.

This, this and more this.

 

Available and we should be all over it.

Ignoring problems to say it doesn't

We play with one forward. We have two. One is injured, which is a problem but we have players who can do a job there. It's a problem but it's not the defining narrative of our season like some fans suggest.

I would f***ing love Drogba on loan for 2 months. I'd drive to China and pick him up.

[Ombudsam]

Do we need a centre forward. I think we need to drop two worldlies in in place of the two youngsters. If Suarez stays central he'll cause more bother

[doug_mac]

i read this morning we are after chtistian eriksen off ajax and ajax would be willing to do business at 24million

 

 

looked decent v man city midweek

careful now (or you may look a fool)

That's a b*gger of a drive once you get to Mongolia you know. Don't say you weren't warned.

Drogba's fine with the idea as long as you're driving him to the airport and he doesn't have to do the return journey with you in your motor.

[Nebraska Red]

we could go via the Bering Straits and down through Eastern Russia to China, split the driving and take a few cases of Red Bull.

[deacon]

Dan Walker on BBC is saying he's heard rumours of a loan move. Anything in it or is this based on some groundless story in today's papers?

[Lark]

f*** a striker, we should sign clatternberg, webb, halsey, and the rest of the referees and linesmen clearly owned by united.

[schmuckdonald]

careful now (or you may look a fool)

 

Probably the wrong word/phrase. Simplistic would've been much better.

[Billy Dane]

Only problem is we know Ferguson will refuse to sell to us, "over my dead body" etc.

Aren't the volcanoes a bitch in Sakhalin Island and Kamchatka?

probably quiet this time of year, we'll have the music on really loud any way. we could always wait for the Ice Truckers route to open up and hitch a ride.

It's a problem so posting in a thread on the subject that it isn't worth discussing is a bit naff, especially as - in this thread - i haven't seen anyone say it's the biggest issue we have.

 

And players that can do a job - how many league goals between the forwards other than Suarez ?

I dunno. I bet Drogba would be moaning the whole way.
