giles_23_bcfc Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 izale mcleod - especially if lita goes to charlton.Could we not try and get Lita back IF we go up? OK so his attitude isnt the best but he is a great striker and has scored goals in the prem. Perhaps Gary could curb his habits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 We need a new left winger, not sure who, but we need one as I cringe everytime McIndoe goes in for a challenge! We cant lose him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buanryoh Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 How about Cardiff's Thompson?Yes, I do remember the sending off! He's on the transfer list, has fallen out with Jones (probably even more so after Saturday) and we are local. Everyone keeps asking for a Championship quality striker - well - here's one on the transfer list. Now, if only Cardiff would sell him to their rivals...

Chivs Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Ricardo Fuller of Stoke. He's about the only forward I've been impressed with at Ashton Gate this season (including our own ).I have a vague feeling someone said he is transfer listed?!?

greenun Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Ricardo Fuller of Stoke. He's about the only forward I've been impressed with at Ashton Gate this season (including our own ).I have a vague feeling someone said he is transfer listed?!?Fuller is a quality Championship striker, but their are always concerns over his fitness, following countless knee problems. He's also a bit feisty on the discipline side, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_FullerA player who may become available in January, is Derby's Steve Howard, who would certainly pass muster as a Championship battering ram, similar to Charlton's Chris Iwelumo.If we could purchase that type of forward, plus a scoring speed merchant, then a play-off berth can be secured. Mind you, it all feels a bit like writing a Christmas list for Santa, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Jim Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 izale mcleod - especially if lita goes to charlton.no no no! don't rate him. he hasnt done anything at charlton and i always thought he was overrated at mk dons. plus his discipline is...questionable.

Redhyde Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 If we could purchase that type of forward, plus a scoring speed merchant...We would have doneMind you, it all feels a bit like writing a Christmas list for Santa, don't you think?I tend to rule out people who have signed for their clubs in the last 6 months so as much as i like either of the Carlisle strikers (Garner and Graham) it won't be happening. If McLeod can't cut it at Charlton why do we want him? He's not even proven at league 1 level. Billy Sharp again only recently signed and we have no idea if he wants to move south or is even up for sale.We have the players who don't score goals but work hard already up front so i don't see the point in going for anyone unless they're top quality (for this league) And then there's the £2-£4 million price tag for those sort of players. GJ rates Brooker so he'll get the chance at some point too.I really don't think there's people available to strengthen up front in the way we want to.

Nibor Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I really don't think there's people available to strengthen up front in the way we want to.The reports of Pete Johnson looking at the likes of Aaron Burns and Dave Mooney would seem to indicate GJ is going to look for an inexpensive rough diamond.

Scrumpty Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'd go for Owen Garvan of Ipswich http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_GarvanHe's only 19, yet was superb against us a few weeks back. He'd be the perfect partner for Marvin.However, Ipswich think highly of him so it'd take an ambitious bid to land him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Sorry i meant we as fans rather than we as a club.Yeah I wasn't disagreeing with you.We won't be buying a proven goalscorer at this level, as you say that means investing millions.I'd be quite happy to see a promising young quick goalscorer and a central midfielder to compete with Johnson brought in.
