next season

who will it be...

 

not robbie unless he has a blinder i suspect.

 

rafa couldnt afford to buy 3 strikers this summer. i reckon, just as he has bought different types of central defenders to complement sami and carra, he'll be looking to but a striker with pace. maybe a young guy who's prepared to be patient?

 

any thoughts anyone?

How many games do you reckon Fowler will get this season. I have to say I can't see him getting many starts at all with the robust nature of players like Dirk and Bellamy.

 

Cup games perhaps. Great to have him as backup though.

Bellamy is many things, but robust is not one of them.

Not sure having 4 first team strikers can really work in terms of keeping all of them happy. I honestly can't see Fowler playing much this season.

 

Perhaps someone like Linfield could make the step up for League Cup games etc, or this Greek lad may eventually arrive who we tried to get just before the deadline.

 

I think your 4th striker needs to be a younger lad really, who'll be happy to get the odd game here and there and bring some enthusiasm from the bench when required.

reckon we'll be back in for Darren Bent if he has another good season (and i see no reason why he shouldn't).. despite the oft-used phrases of 'one season wonder' or 'look at Michael Ricketts' i think he's a very good player..

 

i have to say as well that i have a niggling feeling about Crouch.. i like Crouch a lot but over the last few weeks i've had this feeling he may be surplus to requirements next season and i have no facts to base that feeling on whatsoever..

well rafa seems to have decided to play 2 up front generally and he loves his rotation, and he loves his options. i just think just as he wants two defenders who he sees as being particularly good in the air, he'll want two strikers with real pace, cos then he can feel confident in his rotation of his strikers, and keep them all fresh, which he clearly places massive importance on.

 

i can really see him wanting 4 first team strikers. i dont know if lindfield or mr popoudopoulous will be ready for first team action. and linfield's not the quickest is he?

naah. i think rafa still seems him as v valuable and different. plus i dont know who would pay the price we'd want anyway. i can see rafa often preferring kuyts greater mobility though

i'd hope so like.. like i say, i like Crouchy..
