I've gone for;

Adebayor (Sell)
Defoe (Sell)
Kane (Squad)
Obika (Sell)
Dempsey should be in this poll
& finally, we need two new first choice strikers.

Im a bit biased to keeping Kane because of relative/family reasons.
He isnt related to me sorry, just to clarify. He is going out with one of my family members.
 
I think we should sell Defoe or Adebayor and have voted to keep Defoe in the squad as he's more effective off the bench. No qualms either way.

I think we need one striker we're happy to start every league game and one who will start all the Europa League games/early round cup games and bang in enough goals in those competitions to be worthy of a place if we play with two strikers and possibly useful off the bench. Preferably a youngster who can develop and not moan about being benched.

Who are these mystery players? Fucked if I know.

Don't want to appear to picky, but feel another option for our U21's should be "Loan". Basicly your saying if they don't make into into the First team they should be sold.

The original post states if you want anyone loaned out just select squad.
 
I thought I messed up by giving the two new first choice strikers option, seeing as AVB only ever really plays with one, but it seems people would prefer to see two strikers in the first team more than I thought!
 
My cousins are Leicester fans so I have been to see him a few times at the KP this season, seen him a fair few times for our Reserves as well. Millwall fans that I know were not best impressed by him either.

He scored 5 goals at Millwall hardly "Banging them in for fun"..

You know he did only join Millwall in January and had to dispossess the current striker of his position before starting matches?

I would say that was a pretty good loan spell and he did bang in "Crucial" goals for millwall.
For example, Portsmouth away.

Anyway, this thread is about strikers not just HK.
Lets agree to disagree.

I would join in if this were just for shit n giggle, but as some people seem to be taking this very seriously I see no point in voting as I am not actually qualified to pass judgement.

Especially as:
I have not been to any of the training sessions.
I have not seen their training stats.
I have no knowledge of the psychometric make up or profile.
I do not set the plans for the long term strategy of the club from a performance perspective.
I have no knowledge of our budget.
I have no knowledge of any details within the current contractual arrangements.
I have not seen the scouting network reports.

And perhaps but most importantly I am not a football manager who holds an actual Fifa Pro Licence.

Otherwise ok?
 
I'd be happy to see us bring in a striker, I'd even go for 2 if one of Ade or Defoe were sold. Both have their positives and negatives....I suppose the one that makes most financial sense would be sold!

Oh god yeah. Keep ade and defoe, kane out on loan again to see if makes the grade, same for obika.

But someone somewhere will derive something from that, take themselves waaaaay too seriously and start making comments about 'why are you on a football forum'.

Leading inevitably to me making use of my 'ignore' function as they are not capable of appreciating the nuance of differentiating talking shit and thinking that they could actually manage the team and would have extracted more points this season 'if only they have been in charge'.

Pus Bombay Saphire currently has 20% off, so happy days all round. :dude:

Good point that, some Millwall fan I know (not your typical Millwall fan he's a bit of a gimp) was up his arse when he played for them and as soon as he went to Leicester he went on about how shit he was

My Millwall supporting friend is moderately objective. He was saying at first they didn't warm to them, but he learned to put a shift in and was respected by the fans for what he contributed it grew but he was never going to be first choice after the Jan signing of Keogh. They wanted the loan continued, hence some of the less objective comments I have heard.

Have heard very good things about Adam Smith, but I am sure he probably appears on a comparative discussion about right backs.
 
Regarding Harry Kane: We won't sell him and the club thinks he can be good enough. That's why he's given a contract that runs into 2017 in contrast to Obika's whose runs out in 2014 while the announcement of their extensions was published on the same day.
We will sell Obika and keep (or loan out) Kane.
 
Aside from Kane (jury still out), sell the whole lot, noone will end up at a better club which should tell you all you need. None of those listed has the ability and/or the attitude required to be a top 4 striker.

Defoe, 30 and still not getting the offside rule. The odd 25 yard strike against lesser opposition isn't enough to warrant a place in the XI. Sell.

Adebayor, mugged off and with warning as well. Don't let two hot games towards the end of the season kid you. We need rid of this piss taker urgently. Sell.

Obika, been playing at Yeovil for half a decade and is only a year younger than Bale. Face facts. Sell.
