Christ almighty. Be realistic - how many top class strikers are going to sign for a team where they're not guaranteed to be in the first team? Not to mention the fact that by signing a top class striker you risk unsettling Baros, who is wavering enough as it is.

We basically need 4 strikers. Disregarding Mellor, we currently have 3. For me, the best option is to recall Le Tallec to LFC, but failing that it would not be the end of the world to pick up decent young prospect for £2-£3m as cover.

Stead and Earnshaw are by no means top quality, but they're workmanlike professionals that can do a job if needed. Similarly Beattie, similarly Phillips. No, I am not saying that they are long-term solutions for the club, but most strikers worth their salt that are looking to move have already moved this summer. You can laugh all you like, but if we get a couple of injuries, we may have Kewell and Pongolle up front, and then we have all the fun of trying to work out who can play on the left, etc, etc. At any rate, like I said the best case scenario as I see it given the would be to bid for Vassell.

I'm happy to stick to my guns knowing that with a cheapo signing we've got a bench that can get us through 90 mins without completely ballsing up the balance of the team. The season starts on Saturday for f**k's sake. If you've got any better ideas that we could realistically sign before the window closes, by all means tell the class.

Fair point Ivor

Whilst Im not convinced re Earnshaw after watching him live a few times the lad is an out and out goal scorer with a good record

Its like championship manager at times looking for top names but dont ever understimate the little man coming good

I aint bothered about sarcy replies cos that boy just keeps on scoring

He is looking for a move, would it b a good one for pool

Just why on earth would we need a southampton regect.Are we going back to the reign of G.H. and buying second rate player's or should we be looking to the future and buy only proven world class player's?.which Kevin Beattie clearly is'nt. :suspect:

Lets not sign dross for the sake of it. Stick a reserve in with Pongolle in the coca cola cup. I agre re Kezman - can't believe he was so cheap, i was gutted when we never made an approach.

Scored for Ipswich in the 1978 Cup final?? Ithought he retired

It was Roger Osbourne who scored for Ipswich in the 1978 FA Cup final. never kicked a ball again after that game , went a bit mental and had a breakdown :Oo:

Well said again Charwell.......Just cos we find ourselves a little under strength in certain areas i.e. Midfield , Forwad (If Mo Leaves) it's not an excuse to panic buy
