Who do you think is the answer to our striking woes?

[MLB]

Hijacking Gyan from Sunderland wouldn't be a bad call.

 

 

They are paying a club record fee for him apparently, so he's probably out of our price range. They must have paid at least £12 million for Darren Bent.

[JaminKibbler]

Mario Gomez on loan for a year.

 

Wolfswinkel for a small fee.

 

Huntelaar on the cheap. Quiet a few possibilities available.

[Anubis]

Get Erik Meijer out of retirement.

[ChunkyMonkey]

Get Erik Meijer out of retirement.

 

Erik Meijer should be given a knighthood for his comment "It's incredible what I get paid even though i'm really very good at what I do."

[Vivaldo]

Benzema would have been a great coup, I think it just came down to Real couldn't get a replacement in on time

 

Unless they sign Toivonen from PSV?

[Vivaldo]

My preferred choice would be Forlan, failing that it would be:

 

1. Benzema if at all possible

2. Gyan

3. Huntelaar

 

I would still look at bringing in a loan signing and Gomez would be great.

[rafarubbish]

fuking take anybody at this stage, really cant believe we are going into the last day of the window yet again needing a striker its been like this since robbie left god only knows this time tomorrow he could be the man to..................................................................... replace himself:whoops:

[Strontium]

Anyone but Carlton Cole if I'm honest. If we're seriously wanting a target man with Premier League experience I'd sooner go for Kevin Davies. But there are plenty of better options on the continent.

[setreal]

Schalke have signed Huntelaar...

[ChunkyMonkey]

its been like this since robbie left god only knows this time tomorrow he could be the man to..................................................................... replace himself:whoops:

 

The funny thing is I actually would wait until tomorrow morning and then fax over an undervalued, 'you know you don't want him there really' offer. You never know.

 

It was Rafa's management of him that didn't wash, not the team, the club, fans or the city.

[piscinin]

Chamakh was the right type of player IMO. Can lead the line, can play in and around a focal point. Strong in the air.

[ngogswilly]

Rumours on RAWK that Insua has said hes off to Istanbul on his Facebook page. Wonder could he be a part exchange???

God I hope it's for Turan!

[Irishlad]

Baros is coming back

[WrongIslander]

So am I safe in the assumption I'm the only person that wants Milevskiy here then?

[Jose Jones]

Think about the back-up those players had though

 

Case McDermott Souness Kennedy

 

Houghton McMahon Whelan Barnes

 

Everyone can ponder all the strikers they want but until we become more creative in our play then we're still almost entirely dependent on Gerrard and Torres' ability to get a half chance out of nothing.

 

Goatboy's right here, but I think it will take time.

We need to have a bit of patience in Roy getting the midfield he wants on the pitch, and the team playing together. By all accounts he's been concentrating on the defensive structure in training so it will only really be once everyone's bedded in and we've got the structure down that we'll then start to see more expansive attacking play.

 

With Gerrard, Cole and Kuyt in behind Torres there are a few goals there, even Babel can put the ball away if he gets in enough positions. We need to get the team functioning well, then goals will come. We could use someone with a bit more pace and skill out wide though.

[Guest Captain Jonjo]

We are dreaming if we think we can get the likes of benzema, best we can do is carlton coles....

[king]

Well it's seems the answer is to our striker problems is going to have to be those new sports science staff because keeping Torres is of paramount importance this season considering we can't sign a new striker until January.

[Wee-bey]

If it stays like this we may need two strikers in January. He's looking very glum recently.

[sir roger]

It's going to have to be Dirk by the looks of it.

[FidelMurphy]

I really hope Torres doesn't see a minute of action during our europa and carling cup campaigns. I'm absolutely gutted we didn't see a backup striker being brought in and I think it's a major fuckup on Hodgsons part. Going into the summer it was obvious lb and backup striker was the major probelms that needed addressing. As it turns out with the resigning of Aurelio and the emergence of Kelly the one area that was the most important was the backup for Torres but we tried to take it to the wire to save a few million and it has backfired spectacularly.

[dreadthered]

So we have only 1 out and out striker that we can depend upon.Sold the most promising striker and winger from the reserves.

 

Going to be a long long season .

Super Mario denied Reds move

 

Striker Mario Gomez claims Bayern Munich blocked a deadline-day loan move to Liverpool.

 

The Bundesliga champions were not keen to let the Germany international leave the Allianz Arena as boss Louis van Gaal admitted he still had a part to play for the team.

 

The 25-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular first-team spot with the German giants since joining at the start of last season with Ivica Olic, Miroslav Klose and Hamit Altintop vying for a place in the team.

 

However, Gomez admitted that he would have jumped at the chance of a temporary move to Anfield to reignite his career.

 

Gomez told the Bild newspaper: "I have said that if I leave Bayern I will go abroad.

 

"Then came this interesting offer from Liverpool. I took the loan offer seriously and discussed it with my family and girlfriend because I just want to play.

 

"But Bayern gave me the impression that they see a future for me. And therefore a change was not an issue anymore."

[Guest LFD]

Hopefully Babel or NGog.

[PaulMcC]

Ngog has been doing all right so far.

 

If only the board didn't fuck Hodgson over with the lack of funds.
