Strikers I'd take over any of Crouch, Morientes or Cisse

[BG]

Let me start with a disclaimer or two.

 

1. I rate Rafa as our best manager since Paisley.

2. I think at times that all of Crouch, Morientes and Cisse have perfomed reasonably well for us and have merits.

3. I've not included Fowler becuase clearly it;s unfair to judge him yet.

 

However off the top of my head here's a list of strikers in the Premiership I'd swap for any of them (disregarding their ages).

 

Drogba

Crespo

Nistelroy

Rooney

Mido

Keane

Defoe

Darren Bent

Yakubu

Andy Cole

Shearer

Owen

Ashton

Baros

Heskey

 

Playign with forwards who are erratic finishers AND never make their own chances does make life a LOT harder. Summer cannot come soon enough in that respect.

I would have Henry. It's a bit harsh to exlude him from your list. I know he's not having his best ever season but I personally would take him over Heskey.

[Guest Jack Bauer]

Mellor, Pongolle to that list.

Yes...forgot Arsenal for some reason. I'd also take Van Persie over any of them.

Pongolle porbably for me, Mellor not for me.

Yakubu if his team are relegated...?

What about McBride at Fulham, works hard and gets his share of goals, simialr role to Morientas but certainly seems more effective in this league.

 

Even Kevin Davies (cant believe im saying this)

mcbride is 33 or so isnt he?

[crisps]

crespo

drogba

rooney

saha

van nist

defoe

keane

henry

pongolle

van persie

roberts

camara

mellor

borgetti

baros

mcbride

c.john

owen

yakubu

Klose does score a lot of headers. Unfortunately we don't put in a lot of crosses, so unless he's going to start doing his best work below sea level, or we manage to steal Pennant off Birmingham, I can't see that one working.

Thought we were just naming strikers in the PL that would do a better job than our current mob. Id take Shearer too even though hes in his mid 30's

[crisps]

maybe this should be prem strikers i DEFINITELY wouldnt swap ours for - off top of head can think of

 

ameobi

all portsmouths & sunderlands

Dunno, I'd take Lua Lua.

 

Of the strikrs we came up against in our unbeaten un he wad one of a few (Wigans strikers were the others) who gave us problems.

Buying Crouch may be a good thing for what he offers but selling Baros and not replacing the 'possibilities' he brought, is turning out to be the huge mistake it looked like.

 

Not happy :/

 

Toothless we are.
