WolfOfWestStreet Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I just can't see us bringing in another striker. ElAbd had 6 last year so just continuing on. Disgraceful that he took Louis shirt. Kodjia wore 22 for his last club so no surprise there. Footballers are pretty superstitious so I don't think they like to change much after a successful campaign It wasn't Louis's shirt to take. No one owns a number, that sort of thing is very American Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHOULD'VE TOOK NUMBER 58 THE REJECT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Do we need another striker? Kodjia, Wilbs, Agard, Robinson, Burns. You've noted 3 strikers and two attackers. So yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Personally I think we're alright striker-wise for now. Obviously if we struggle to score goals then they can look at bringing someone else in either on loan or a permanent in January but right now we're good. Wilbs and Kodjia front 2 with Robinson and Burns as early competition/impact subs and Agard hopefully coming back into the fold sooner rather than later. We managed fine last season with just 2/3 strikers at any given time, don't see why we'd change that policy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Do we need another striker? Kodjia, Wilbs, Agard, Robinson, Burns. Of course we do, if Wilbraham gets injured/suspended/out of form we need a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Can't see another striker with Kodjia, Wilbs, Robinson and Agard fighting for up to two spots, plus Burns as desperation cover! Though interesting to hear Cotts talk about Robinson playing out wide in a 3, guess you always need a plan B.... But personally I'd say we need another central midfielder long before another forward.

BRISTOL86 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Of course we do, if Wilbraham gets injured/suspended/out of form we need a replacement. Really can't see us having 6 strikers on the books when we only have 3 central midfielders excluding Freeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Agard number 10... Meh My thoughts exactly fella. Agard wearing number 10 is about as bad as El-Abd wearing 6 FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Of course we do, if Wilbraham gets injured/suspended/out of form we need a replacement. Kodjia is well over 6 foot. He can play the target role well. I wouldn't complain if we sign another striker but midfielder, defender and keeper are more of a priority.

I wouldn't complain if we sign another striker but midfielder, defender and keeper are more of a priority. Just because he's tall doesn't make him a targetman, he's much slighter than Wilbraham and think he's not that kind of striker.. That's based exclusively on what I've read/YouTube clips though! He's more in the Henry mould - excuse the lazy comparison - I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted August 7, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Why is there so many comments on the forum along the lines of "we need to sign a midfielder/defender before we sign another forward/goalkeeper" today? People do realise you can try to sign more than 1 player at a time right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 To be fair you are the forum master so I agree with you! Would love to know what you base that comment on though. Seems odd given his respectable goals ratio for City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Saving number 9 for Matt Smith? Could well be if Matt finds himself not starting at Fulham... be interesting to see if he does or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather not miss out on a decent cm because we've spent our budget on a striker (wage wise, thinking about ffp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's based exclusively on what I've read/YouTube clips though! He's more in the Henry mould - excuse the lazy comparison - I think. I agree, plus from what I saw versus YTFC. I know one game isn't enough, but I didn't see "target man" in his locker....plenty of other attributes though to get excited about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
