westonred Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Burnley are willing to offload Chris Iwelumo if they sign Charlie Austin from swindle and PNE are interested in taking the big centre forward. Surely it must be worth a bid seeing as he did so well and scored goals when he played for us on loan the other season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grove park city Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Still looks a handful and can find the net with Stead now out a big target man is needed as what we have left have no real bully boy knock em off the ball attitude, there is no front player to win the ball in the air big chris fitted in well last season at least ask ??????

Martyn Hocking Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 it would be a tad ironic if we did bring big Chris back, given the way our last manager gets derided on here on a daily basis for his habit of signing 'too many' strikers on loan.

A bit different with the current injury list one thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC_Red Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I thought supply was the problem and we could have Rooney upfront and he still wouldnt score. Doesnt seem much point paying out for another striker unless we can be sure of solving the midfield problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Would be a brilliant signing. As our tactic at the moment seems to be hit high balls up top despite not having a big man up front we'd be silly not to be in for him, especially if we can somehow get rid of Clarkson!

Andrew_V1 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Chris Iwelumo fitted our style of play PERFECTLY last season. I genuinely thought he should have been our number 1 transfer target in the summer. He's the best big man i've seen at championship standard, and was a massive upgrade on Big Dele. KM - Please bring him in, that way it will give steady a nice long recovery period so he can come back sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastend Fan Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Millen would be MAD not to put in a offer to Iwelumo. Has got experience at this club over Preston and did very well in the short stint, liked by almost all the fans, and with our recent striker injuries, would be the perfect partener for Pitman/Maynard as proved before. Bring him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastend Fan Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 This could also save money in the long run as the need for a creative midfielder which are very hard to find, and expensive (Neil Danns) would drop drastically if we have a striker to hold the ball up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somerset_Sam Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 all very well saying bring him in and i think we should have at least tried, but if he wants to stay in the north, he aint gunna come to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 If my memory serves me correctly (which is not guaranteed these days), didn't he not want to stay with us last season, which is more or less why we ended up with 'The Hoff'?

BCFC Jordan Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 He didn't want to stay with us as he felt he had an opportunity to play in the Premier League with Wolves still. He'd be great for us to be honest, I really rated him last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave to the rhythm Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Can't understand why you are questioning Steve Lansdowns effort. I have been supportive of him up until now, but I get the feeling that he's not willing to throw any more of his money at the club. If we get the green light for the new stadium, things may change.

If we get the green light for the new stadium, things may change. Apart from about £10m a year just to keep us afloat! He's thrown a lot of cash at this squad, and look at what he has got for his money. If we could get Iwelumo on loan, then fine, but I'm not sure that SL would want to take on another large wage earner on a lengthy contract, at the present time.
