It's worth a shot. It can't hurt
Chelsea have Andre Schurle
Scum have options of Walnut, Sanchez, Podolski, Joel Campbell. And Gnabry.
Everton have Mirallas and Aruna Kone..
yep and pretty much all them guys would play in the 3 were we are well stocked too
Scum could also have Giroud, Welbeck and sanogo out injured and not be affected.
If we have one injury in our three strikers we are in big trouble,.

I'm not expecting CL football
If you're expecting that then you definitely need therapy mate
I'd take another striker as cover if his wages aren't crazy & we were allowed under the HG rule. We should have cover/competition if we are trying to compete on 4 fronts this year. Just wish we weren't back, scraping the bargain bucket.

I'd like to see us at least try for it.. It's as if we've accepted that were not good enough anymore, despite finishing 4th twice recently..
The two teams we had that finished fourth have been decimated.
Seriously mate it would be a minor miracle us finishing 4th this season, we'll without doubt have a go but three of the top 4 is sown up already if not all of it. It would've been real nice to get a top top triffic quality attacking player in who could play on his own or in the 3 like Saha but it wasn't to be
2 seasons ago we were way better than Liverpool and very close to Woolwich..
They have both kicked on whilst we are going backwards.
Our 3 striker strike force will be our downfall at the end of the season. Even Everton have more.
As the other thread points out we have 7 games in 23 days.. An injury to one of our front men and we are in trouble this early.. With Ade on ACON duty, if Bobby gets injured, then we will be left with Kane, and as much potential he may or may not have, that is just plain stupid.
One good frontman could have made all the difference, and put an end to the Sunday defeats after a Thursday Europa game.

we should probably walk to our games to incase we get in a car crash and everyone dies
the acon is in january i'm sure we can address it then if it's an issue
all the other big teams have more continuity than us, we slag players and managers off at the drop of a hat and then fuck them out the door broken
you wanna get back to the top 4 then back Tino for afew seasons and let him build a squad
Im a firm advocate of 442 (in certain games) and even I dont understand peoples sudden desperation for another top striker. Yes, all new signings are welcome of course, but that ship has sailed for me.
I think its pretty clear in this day and age that you cant keep four top strikers and only play one.
Even Kane will start to look elsewhere one day should he not cement first choice.
It fairly obvious to me with Poch playing a front three of Chadli, Eriksen and Lamela behind a lone striker that he is going to work on goals from midfield.
If those three can score 6-8 each it will be a huge improvement in our midfield goal tally.
I think its better to deal with injuries if and when they come...we have a squad.

I thought Jonas were the one who was referred to "the one who eats cocks", on a valencia forum during the soldado saga. :lennon:
they've had Wenger in there for fuckin ages and he's one of the best in the business, they've got a far bigger stadium and pay far better wages
the only constant we have is Levy and he's quick to fire everyone and start from scratch with a whole new system and frequently sells our best players at the end of the window leaving 'insert manager' fucked
you're wanting stuff that a man of your age should blatantly know Levy aint going to deliver on
we'll get a new first team striker when we shift Ade or Soldado or sell Townsend for 100 million. :townhmm:
Which one, him signing for us or him as "the one who eats cocks"?
Woolwich have won one trophy in 8 years and are notorious for long term injuries to key players. I'd say they've not done a great job of juggling league and Europe for a club of their size and resources.
Anyway it's about the quality of players not quantity. One more average striker isn't going to help us finish top 4.
