The *new* striker debate thread


SuperSAINT

Recommended Posts

The striker debate has raged on for sometime now - From pre-season all the way through to now. Austin is rumoured to be out for 3 to 4 months and we are amongst the lowest scorers in the league.

 

Discussion has ranged from the need for a Pelle-type to a Mané-type striker.

 

I wanted to gauge opinions on what type of striker people want to see us go for?

Do we bring home Gallagher? He should be able to get plenty of minutes now that Austin is injured.
Don't let the club use that one to appease fans for a while, They got away with not buying a forward after Jrods mi**** against Sunderland. Leave Gallagher where he is until he is fully ready for the PL

A focal point. Someone who can hold it up, bring others into play and obviously score goals. We lack that option this year, we have no presence up top.

 

Don't know what his all round game is like, but Haller looks like a unit.

 

Failing that, bring Crouchie home :)

If we bring back Gallagher and he does well Reed will be blamed for loaning him out in the first place. If we bring back Gallagher and he does badly, Reed will be blamed for using a cheap option for our striking problems. If we bring back Gallagher and sign someone else as well Reed will be blamed for staling the progress Gallagher was making at Blackburn by not getting enough game time.

What is it with the obsession with Haller, have any of you seen him play? He is utter junk. I swear some of you would put a lamp post in a saints shirt up front for the sake of having a "focal point" and "hold up play".

We need another Mané not another Pellè.

Someone the Manager rates and trusts (he is obviously not sure on Long).

 

A player with better movement than Austin, better technique/composure than Long and more confidence than Jay Rod.

 

Probably no such player exists on loan.

 

Hopefully we get someone for the long term though rather than a stop gap. Austin isnt what we need as a first choice striker anyway. Good season for someone to settle in as pressure will be off most likely from Feb onwards.
