i've never known such a lack of quality english strikers. owen is the only one who consistently scores 20+. rooney, vassell, heskey, smith don't score enough. compare the state now to 1996 when we had shearer, sheringham, cole, fowler, ferdinand, collymore.

owen has to many injuries if he played a whole season he would get more like 30+

James Beattie wouldn't add anything to the current squad, strong and good in the air but really lacks pace and isn't the kind of quality we should be looking to buy.

Bear in mind that any striker we sign wouldn't have to be the biggest investment in the world. Baros and Cisse are an awesome proposition up front, and I'd have no qualms about them being my first choice strike force.

What we are talking about is good quality cover that you could rely on to come in and do a job in the rotation system. Personally I think Vassell would score bucketloads if he was in a team that could offer him a regular supply line of quality passes. You've all seen the damage he does at international level, and I think it's naive to suggest that he wouldn't convert that form into domestic competition. Similarly Rooney, although he's clearly not a realistic target.

I certainly think that Vassell's better than Smith, who's basically the same player as Heskey, with all the problems that implies. If we're talking about a 3rd or 4th striker for rotation purposes, how would you guys feel about Robert Earnshaw or Jon Stead? I certainly don't think we'd need to invest heavily. For that matter, we could just recall Le Tallec and throw all the transfer cash at the genuine problem areas in midfield and at the back.

Will we sign Kevin Beattie please tell me

by **stmichael** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 2:06 pm

for all his eccentic qualities, i'd take anelka back now like a shot if he banged the goals in. benitez also wouldn't stand for any of his sulking. :;):

oh yeah, will we sign kevin beattie anchor man?

by **Redtribe** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 2:08 pm

Earnshaw and Stead!!!!!!!!!
Ouch my sides have split!
Le tallec is a good idea!
Money defo needs to go to midfield and defence well centre halfs anyway!

by **ivor_the_injun** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 2:13 pm

Bear in mind that - injuries permitting - we'd only need a fourth striker in things like League Cup matches, as well as for subs appearances in matches that we're coasting. So long as they can chip in with the odd goal, I don't much care that they're not fashionable names.

Earnshaw I cant see that although he's always getting written off his touch aint all that but he's lightening fast and always scores.

Im not saying buy him but since he was a kid people have been saying he wont go up a grade and he scores hatfuls

The one rated highly in Cardiff is Gabidon
