Alex_BCFC Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Our two strikers scored 50+ goals last season and we have just signed Marcus Stewart.Why oh why do we need another striker?Tinnion is shooting himself in the foot just when I thought he'd turned a corner.A centre back and goalkeeper cover should be of the upmost importance. Stewart can play the target man role as long as we play it into his feet. His close control and upper body strength is brilliant.Personally I don't think we'll sign another striker UNLESS Lita moves on. Seems we're definetly searching for a centre back which is good news. Not sure it's Coughlan or Ireland though... ←Its certainly no Ireland- he signed for some Scottish team this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatWill Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Didn't you read my post? ←Yes, but I wasn't responding to your post. For the record I think you're wrong by the way. You don't 'need' a target man to get out of this division.We DO NOT need a target man to get out of this division, we need a centre back.If you can't see that then you must be as stupid as Tinnion.

Alex_BCFC Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 And he's yet to commit himself to Luton and he's a former Tinnion target.Lita, Brooker, Stewart, Gillespie anymore and that's just selfish!←Yeah we don't need another striker but I'd take Howard! I'd prefer us to get a left winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a target man is particularly high on Tinnion's shopping list.It's probably:1. 'keeper2. central defender3. target man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zookeeper Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Lita,Brooker,Stewart,Cotterill and Gillespie are all relatively short in height.City still lack a "battering ram" striker in the mould of Howard at Luton.Someone who can bully the opposition defenders.You don't need one every week but in Division one its a very usefull to have someone you can bring on if your regular strikers are getting beaten up.Someone like Dele Adebola or Brian Deane would fit the bill.←I'd be loathe to see a player like Brian Deane at this club. I think that players with a 1st touch are a must for the way we play. However I do agree that an extra bit of strength and height would not go amiss. Give us and extra option to come off the bench and knock people about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucksred Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I reckon Steve Howard from luton would be ok.←From Lu'on fans I understand wages are a sticking point there, he thinks he's worth more than Lu'on are prepared to pay.Does City need more high wages players, with a prima donna attitide?We need a strong team spirit, somehow, cant see howard adding to that, good option that he is. Let alone the dropping a division issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
