havanatopia Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Do we have sufficient fire power? Could GJ be the mystery bidder? Perhaps a mystery bid is made because there would be undoubted furor over a purchase from a local rival in some quarters. 17 goals this season... here is the link:- http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4807866,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Barnsley prob. 17 goals? Doesnt sound right, this is the Swindon lad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Not another striker surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Barnsley for sure could do with someone else! Well Nibor, my thoughts as well but if LT and SB are heading out the door perhaps GJ is looking for direct replacements for both. You can never really have enough fire power is my view.

Tales From The Front Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Not another striker surely? Got to agree, our obsession, with signing strikers at the expense of the squad as a whole is getting to Newcastle proportions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman_Stand Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Cox, Maynard, Styvar, Akinde and maybe Adebola for next season would be a decent mix of strikers, just the midfield to sort out then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Mat Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I doubt we are the 'mystery club', but it's interesting. I did have a discussion with the people sat around me on Saturday about what appears to GJ's hobby, or obsession, of buying strikers, and that it appears he's going to keep buying forwards until he actually finds one that starts scoring straight away. The trouble is, unless we can unearth a striker who's good enough to create all his own chances (Kaka-like), that just isn't going to happen. Others, such as the midfield, need to create the chances! Sadly, our midfield is about as creative as a blind painter with Parkinson's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
