Another 3 Goals Scored..Where Does A striker Fit IN Exactly??

[Quaz]

You can hardly say that mate.

Pellicori is hardly an unfit person. He seems to have a good touch on him and is quite a big lad, so I doubt he'll only be playing 10 or so games.

My arguement is Pete keeping stating that we don't need another striker as we have 6. Balanta and Vine are probably our best two footballing strikers, but It's far too early to say whether Angelo is a goal scorer and we all know that Vine is more of a creator.

Aggy is poor, and I've always stood by that, even when most got carried away in the hype of his 8 in 6 games run. Heider is not an awful footballer as Morris likes to believe...He just can't seem to score, but still is a good player. Pellicori looks decent, but I very much doubt he's anymore that a 10 goal per season man...I guess only time will tell.

Basically, I doubt any of our strikers are capable of 10 each if played in at least 30 games each. We should be off loading Aggy and Heider and replacing with someone who has a proven track record of scoring near the 20 goal mark on a regular basis. I'm affraid Pete's arguement for Heider in invalid too as he's done it once or twice in his whole career which doesn't smack of consistancy for me.

We should take a punt and spend big. Kamara is the one I'd like to see as the £4m they want is penny's considering the prize at the end. £10m total spend this season wouldn't be bad in fairness and we don't need to spend near that. It doesn't take a mathematical genius to work out that £30m plus future parachute payments if relegated back to the CCC and future TV rights and various endorsment if we manage to stay up would outweigh any reasonable amount of money needed to get out of this league.

Edit: Sorry Quaz...I mis-read the start of your post and thought you were saying Pellicori wouldn't play more than 10.

totally agree with everything you said there mate......what frightens me is you have someone like pete who thinks he knows plenty about football coming out with the comments and then saying he knows he is in the minority...probable because the powers that be only need one person to do the spinning......i never used to believe the stories of him being a mouth piece for the big-wigs...but after this i am starting to wonder.

If anybody can honestly say we don't need another striker or 2 and believe it then they should stop saying they know enough about football and perhaps start watching another sport.

i stand by what i said that it was pete last season who said we didn't need strikers after the win at Blackpool....same thing now.The board don't want to splash out even tho it could be to their advantage like you said....but they are not willing to risk the money.....but can waste it on VIP areas etc etc.

as for the mis-reading mate...not to worry we all do it

Agreed, it can look that way, but in fairness...even though I joked about it...Pete has his own opinions and I think he's more trying to play Devil's Advocate rather than being a mouthpiece. Unfortunately for him, he's massively wrong this time round.

Come on mate...We're all entitled to our opinions.
Although I disagree with a lot of what Pete says, many will dissagree with a lot I say...I still won't be told I'm wrong

see thats the funny thing.....we don't like being told we are wrong...but we like telling the club that they are doing it wrong...swings and roundabouts

petes on the swings (heard he likes swinging) and the club on the spinning roundabout ;)

also i dont go along with hes a mouthpiece. i just think hes wrong in his opinion that we dont need a striker. i can see where hes coming from with him thinkin our midfield will weigh in with all the goals but that just isn't gonna happen, primarily u need sum1 up top bangin them in regularly

i know we are only 1 game into the season,but this,in my opinion is a condender for the "most stupid thread of the year" competition.

well with a striker today blackpool would have been dead and buried and everyone would have been happy and maybe our disgraceful directors would have stopped until the end of the game

AS my wife says 8 inches between success and failure.

Helgusson doesn't hit the bar and scores, you would be saying what a good striker he was. Plus, if he scores we win comfortably

But Pete - i would agree if this was one of the 1st times we were privy to HH, but we saw him last season and the lad fails to score this kind of golden opportunities which a decent goalscorer would take at ease.

Sadly the same goes for Dave and Vine....

[ollyhoops]

Sounds like we were lucky it was a poorer side...

are you sure she said 8 inches;D

[Sleeping Giants]

Think we have more than enough scoring possibilties through the squad.

All this big name rubbish, how many know what team Drogba came from before he joined Chelsea you can add so many to the that equation. Birmingham City got promoted, how many did their top scorer get? and how many people bank on the media and sky to convince themselves that a striker will score 25 goals. How do you really know he will?

By the way, Lita's agent is trying to get the best possible deal and playing with 4-5 clubs and wants at a few grand more than any other player at the club. If you want a disruptive player like this whose only thought is his pockets and being billy big balls, then you need shooting. I rate Lita, based on his goals but if a highly respected manager Coppell did not play him, you have to ask questions why?

After today looks like Tarrabt will score 15 this season.

Where were they today then? Ramage (a defender) with a fluke goal saved us a point when we dominated the game....It is frustrating.....the only part of the jigsaw that is missing is the goalscorer.

i would never (even p!ssed ) say he was a good striker...he is not good enough....
