Saint Fan CaM Posted 24 January, 2009 Share Posted 24 January, 2009 Wonder who this new striker is - could it be Arturo Lupoli as previously suggested on the rumour mill? Anyone got any info - it seemed well reported and almost a done deal? Frankly, I am preparing myself to be underwhelmed (as usual with SFC).

Minsk Posted 24 January, 2009 Share Posted 24 January, 2009 Actually there are 2 questions: Who? and Why? (As in why is another striker the priority?) We have just had Saga return, to go with BWP, DMG and Paterson (with White, Lallana and McLaggon also capable of playing up front.) At CB we have Perry, Size and LAncashire. Surely another CB is more needed than a striker? At RB we have, errrmmmm, James and he's not a RB. Surely a RB should be THE priority. However, we seem to be getting a striker, and yes we certainly do need to score more goals. But will the undoubted 18/19 year old CCC/League 1 reserve player that we bring in get us these goals?

If we dont score goals we will be relegated it is the lack of goals which has led us to the bottom of the league.

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 24 January, 2009 Share Posted 24 January, 2009 Some "promising" nipper from another ccc club i expect.. Why? because nothing has changed we just have 1 less dutch no mark....same old... I wish Wilde,Lowe,Askham,Richards,Cowen,Wotte,Gorre would just clear off and let the club be managed correctly and players coached properly...:mad: Did i miss anyone?

All the above have failed to deliver so far this season Saga has scored in 50% of the games he has played for us this season. Who will play at RB if james gets injured suspended? Who will play at CB if Size or Perry gets injured or suspended? We play with ONE up front and have several players who have played in that role this season. Yes, we need to score goals to win games. We also need to not conceed in order to not lose them! No point in scoring 1 if the opposition is going to get 2, or more!! And lets wait and see who this 'new' striker is shall we? Do you think he will be a big name with a good scoring record in this league? Or is he more likely to be as I think, an 18/19 year old CCC/League 1 reserve player?

Minsk Posted 24 January, 2009 Share Posted 24 January, 2009 I think it is more important to get a striker in as soon as possible Dont worry about injuries they can be covered later Of course, we are all entitled to our own opinion but I really cannot see the logic in this. We have just gained a striker, with Champions League experience THIS SEASON. He has played 2 games and scored one goal. We only play with one striker. We have (at least) 3 others available. We do not have a single RB. IMO, our best option for RM is playing there. We only have 3 CBs (and one of those is clearly NOT up to CCC standard yet) for 2 positions. And yet you and the idiots who run our club want another striker but are not concerned about our defensive frailties. ALL GOOD SIDES ARE BUILT FROM THE BACK. Keep a clean sheet and you only need to nick one goal to win the game. Your, and apparently their, notion is to be able to score a brace or more to be sure of winning. Which we always have to do because our defence is about as worthwhile as a chocolate fireguard. Worry about injuries to defenders when they happen? Yep, that makes sense. You can always pop out to the shed and open a new box of defenders whenever the need arises. Personally I would rather have a proper RB on the books now (and another CB) to train with those he would have to work with should the need arise for him to be in the team. And frankly, any proper RB should be in the team (in that position) ahead of Lloyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Super Saint Posted 24 January, 2009 Share Posted 24 January, 2009 But, just the same, we wouldn't get a 'proper' right back, centre back or striker. Whoever comes in will be a no mark from another CCC or League 1 side, probably with very little experience of life, let alone football. We have enough of those already, and really don't need to be paying anyone else's wages.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brightspark Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 my word thats a really short person in the background could it be lowes puppet..? Well if it was a picture taken by Steve Howard at Derby then it may well be Billy Davies. The rumour will be about this Denneboom chap. Great name. When he scores at home (which is almost impossible but if it happens) his name has potential for a good song over the tannoy, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 All of the above includes Saga who has 1 in 2. Harsh to write him off "this season" in two games. Yes I agree for this season but not last. However I do think overall he is probably our best outfield player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
