Need To Loan A Striker

[Gravy]

With only Baros and Mellor now for CL.

[Stevie H]

fair point that.

 

who?

[Bailo]

Anelka?

[vish]

begins with Cr

 

& ends with 'aig Bellamy'

 

[McBain]

One striker

 

5 in midfield

 

Fingers crossed Milan has a stormer

[fred milne]

With only Baros and Mellor now for CL.

And Le Tallec.

Bellamy would be cup-tied wouldn't he?

[pricey]

Bellamy would be cup-tied wouldn't he?

Newcastle weren't in CL

[Hassony]

he would be cup tied as he has played in europe, doesn't matter if its the CL or the uefa cup

[jimmylibel]

Newcastle weren't in CL

But he played in the UEFA Cup which will also cup tie him. In fact if he had played in the UEFA Cup qualifiers only - he'd still be cup tied.

[Benitez]

Le Tallec, Smicer, Kewell

 

It'll have to do!

 

Who's out there? If there where any decent strikers available - they wouldn't be going on loan, or they'd be cup tied anyway.

[marty]

Robbie Keane

[Gravy]

And Le Tallec.

Le Tallec isn't a striker.

[Guest JamesA]

Heidur...

[Big E]

Garcia too, playing off Baros.

 

There's Mellor, Kewell, Garcia, Smicer who can play there. We'll have to cope unless we can find someone good enough for Half a season only.

Is that some new fangled rule?

 

 

bit stupid

[Benitez]

Le Tallec isn't a striker.

but he has spent much of his young career playing as a forward, be it for Le Havre or the Espoirs, and even a few times for us.

 

He can play as a support striker, he can play behind a loan striker, as can Garcia, (where is FAR more effective), ditto Smicer, and Kewell.

 

And as RB can use a 4-2-3-1 as a formation (hope he will more tbh), that does give us 'possibilities'.

 

I'd love to see a striker come in on loan, but realisticly, it's gonna be tough to get someone who's not cup tied, and who is actually good enough. Otherwise, no point brining in someone not very good. Better to play one striker and Garcia, Kewell or smicer off them.

[Kahnee]

Le Tallec isn't a striker.

Le T and Benitez would disagree with you I think. It was after being told he was fourth choice striker that he decided to go off on loan if I recall correctly

[McBain]

Is that some new fangled rule?

It's not new. Though it may be fangled

[Hassony]

Is that some new fangled rule?

 

 

bit stupid

i think it has always been the case

[sbaros]

Heidur...

Do you mean Heiðar Helguson?

 

I think we should defo snap up either a young striker or someone in the champs(like Heiðar)

[anny road]

I am not convinced

 

Unless we can get a really experienced striker, i see no improvement in playing an un tried Championship striker over playing either Kewell, Smicer or ALT of Baros
