We Still Need A Striker

[Quaz]

Yet more doom and gloom !!

Season is played over 46 games.. End of August signings end, then you can loan. January transfer window opens..

You name a team in this division who has this many players who can turn games with goals from our midfield. Said before, everyone is expecting the hoof ball. get that out of your mind-set, also get the negative style of play endured last season.. Then Sam-qpr you will be okay

he will never be ok....too settled in gloomsville

helguson has NEVER scored many

agyemang had a run of about 9 games where he scored since then not alot

vine- not a goalscorer

the italian- ive never seen. cannot judge yet

balanta- i feel he is more of a support player however he may surprise me

Blackstock- our top scorer we sold to forest

i cannot get exited with that lot. if we wan't to go up we need that goalscorer

like i said and you avoided answering....who?

I think you need to look up Helguson's record only a few years ago at Watford.

55/174 Games for Watford

he scored 3 goals in 7 games on loan for us

Surprise this season will be Balanta in my opinion

lets look at birmingham and wolves team's last season. they both had a good set of strikers. we don't.

cardiff have signed chopra. coventry signed morrinson last summer. lita is a free agent. west brom you can take your pick of about 4 that are better than what we have got. forest have earnshaw, blackstock and mcgoldrick.

i could go on and on

"we will score loads of goals from midfield,we have ledesma,parejo,rowlands and buzz,we dont need a striker".....pete pre season 2008.

go on as much as you want....doesn't mean clubs are going to sell....or players will want to sign....

it's easy saying we should do this or do that....but have you personally tried to sign a player that many teams could be chasing?

and this proves what......in pete's defence he didn't know the managers were going to play so defensive.

You cannot be serious about Lita or Morrison

If Lita was that good Coppell would have played him and morrison didn't exactly score many goals for Coventry. Not sure about McGoldrick, but Southampton got relegated.

Tarrabt and Faurlin are better than Parejo and Ledesma

[Rsonist]

personally i still think we need to be looking at a left back above all else now - even if borrowdale doesn't turn out to be a disaster we've nothing in the way of competition. for £1.6m or so we should be right in there with forest for fox.... :anger:

one thing i will say about the strikers though is that a million quid does seem like a lot of money for this pellicori fella, if that really is the case. all strikers are gambles of course but couldnt we gamble that money a little better?

they both know where the net is.

Sam, Just ignore them. You should be safe in your knowledge that we needed a goalscorer last season and we still do now. DJ has the record at this level and I hope we've not given up on him.

Still, if we don't get one we can look forward to Pete backtracking on one up front as 3-6-1 will be the only possible combination to suit our squad wit its 2,000 midfielders!

Pete agree with you about Balanta i am sure he will come good. I do think now we have plenty of goals in us Vine & Helguson could get 15 each (My Opinion)

With loads from midfield.

Even Stewert like to get a few

[WeAreQPR12]

Stewart doesn't make my starting 11

Reading this thread, it seems the usual suspects are coating off the strikers and attacking midfielders on the basis of the total lack of goals scored last year. Ironically, most of those usual suspects are the same people that said it was a disgrace getting rid of Sousa as he was clearly a top manager building a winning team etc...

Funny how most of the players referred to scored goals in more attacking formations the season before. Personally, I think it's a disgrace that so many think Sousa was a great manager just because he was a great player........please someone, show me the stats of his managerial career that point to his Fergusonesque ability.

We will not only finish above Swansea this season, we will score goals, play good quality football and be entertained.
