Topsham Red Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Defoe.i knew that was coming - you know he was an inexperienced unknown when he went to Bournemouth don't you???? NOT the quality players you've been talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh red Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Defoe.yes, when he was an 18 year old who had never played a league game,you can guess the reaction if we brought in tomorrow an 18year old, 5ft centre forward from west ham who had never played a game!

cheshire_red Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hartson - Swansea have been trying since Xmas and yes it was down to wages, his present employers were keen if they could offload his wages.

Remember how short we were on Saturday, one striker on the bench (no I don't believe JMW is a striker) and he could play 5-10 minutes max. Now then a young forward who has done the business at academyand reserve level at FA Prem level (not the poorish standar we play) would have been a better option surely. I don't mean Corr or Smithor Wright.If that's all we can get, but it's better than having 3 or 4 injured / semi injued and not 100% striekrs surely?

I'm yet to see a sensible suggestion !!Quite true, because most of the options have already gone elsewhere............But you have to keep searching and asking, surely our much improved (GJ's own recent words) scouting system have come up with more than a player PNE beat Yeovil to a couple or more seasons back?

BristolCity1992 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yeah I know he isnt a striker but as I said in another thread is really good prospect that has been around for a while and found himself out on loan at the start of the season where he shone according to Bradford fans. I rated him when he came through as a kid though but I don't know if he would come now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you give for an enthusiastic young striker with fire in his belly, from the first game you could see Cole was streets ahead of his team mates.

Ok, not really a striker, more of a winger but he's a hell of a prospect at united apparantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
