leobcfc1 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Had a look at who might be surplus/available to loan after recent transfer activity... STOKE - Mamady Sidibie Sidibe is you're typical battering ram forward. I'd have thought he wouldn't cost much either, maybe around 500,000. He would be the sort of forward I would like to see us sign as he's aggressive, good on the deck and can provide plenty of chances for Maynard.

leobcfc1 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 marlon king would of been a good shout if it wasn't for all his off the field antics His wages would be sky high. The best target man in that list for me without a doubt is Sidibe, he is probably the cheapest in the strikers mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITW Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Two seasons ago at the Britannia, Sidibe scored two fantastic goals for Stoke which ended our promotion chances. They were two of his 4 goals that entire season, if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leobcfc1 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 They were two of his 4 goals that entire season, if I'm not mistaken. Target men don't score lots of goals. Sidibe is the best possible target man we can hope to sign, wages will rule us out of moves for many other target men other than Caleb Folan in the Premier League.

Sidibe is the best possible target man we can hope to sign, wages will rule us out of moves for many other target men other than Caleb Folan. Understand he is a 'target man', and on occasions I have seen him he has looked impressive at times. but regardless, 4 goals for any striker who plays 35 games in a season is quite unimpresssive. Our last target man grabbed us 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get what your saying, but at least 10 is a landmark so to speak. 4 is well, 4. Bradders/McCoombe have scored 4+ in previous seasons from defence.

I dont know enough about him to say he's a bad player. But surely you would agree 4 is a pretty poor tally for a front man, regardless of what else he offers the team.

I agree. Haynes I think will get around 10 goals, whilst Clarkson will get around 8. I'd have thought if Maynard gets say 15/16 goals then we will be on course for an assault on promotion.

internetjef Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Woah woah woah everyone has been lauding the departure of adebola and the hopeful return to passing football and now you want Sidibe in? Surely they are almost identical players no, other than adebola carries a greater scroring threat. I though everyone wanted to see a brooker style target man in, whos good on the deck, strong with back, scores goals and links play up. Now after one bad league result we suddenly want to return to the 6ft 3 battering ram????????? Blimey if thats the case we should have just kept dele. Velika was the kind of target man we were looking for, not just a man mountain, a good footballer with a decent scoring record, good strength and a decent size. Thats the kind of player we should look for now. No saying it will be easy but thats what we need. And looking at that list the one player who actually does meet the bill is marlon king. Granted though he is a tw*t who allegedly punched women and definitely steals stero equipment, plus he wouldnt look at us twice as he still thinks hes the man. So with that attitude we wouldnt want him anyway. I think we may have to look further afield, risky (styvar) but necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 All this speculation about which "target man" might suit is all well and good, but with the vitually non-existent service to the front players, Drogba would probably struggle to score many for us just at the moment.

Don't make me laugh he doesn't play that often for them anymore. Jon Stead doesn't play regular football for Sheffield so he won't, Iwelumo plays for Wolves and Henderson is far too injury prone. Rob Hulse and Adebola are the only two there, that could score over 10 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
