Doesn't Sinclair play left-wing/cf as apposed to Emerton rb/rm? :huh:

:lol: Dont have a clue which wing he plays on, just know that whenever I have seen him play he had looked a good championship player at best at the moment. Maybe one for the future, but not yet!

Think we should be looking for TWO strikers - regardless what happens to RSC.

Was always hopeful we'd have gone for Cisse - and look how he's turned out. Genuine pace is the one thing defenders hate playing against, and throughout the club (first team, reserves, youth) we're a bit sparse on decent scoring strikers and or/pace.

If Ince - or whoever - insists on playing either the long ball or pretty triangles in midfield with no attacking threat, we need an option of a pacy attack or somebody who can hold the ball up a la Newell to bring others in IMO.

Unless the old Benedict comes back from his alien abduction, other than RSC we've got no quality strikers at all. Derbs has levelled out, and seems best prospect as a supersub to play up to his 'natural goalscorer' tag. Roberts is a battering ram with no touch and zero goal threat. Gallagher's had his chances and has his deckchair out a la Sergio Peter. Fowler was always a gamble, and it's ended up as it always would - is his three months up yet? Julio is only here as a gesture for RSC, and what happens if/when he goes?

With luck, Benedict will either be back to his best (ever the optimist) or will be sold in Jan along with Roberts.

With our scouting network and finances, we should be able to find a consistent goalscorer with pace somewhere, surely?

I still can't get the thought of us going for Owen in January out of my head for some reason.......

PS. On the long-standing right midfielder quest, here's something to put out there. There's a chance we WON"T go for anyone. Personally, I'd love it to be Kightley - regardless of it probably being big bucks. However, the recent 'interest' in Pennant IMO is only Liverpool touting him around to bring in some much-needed cash, and they know we put a realistic approach to him he was too greedy to take. Unless we then propose a REDUCED offer, can't see much happening - and he's too inconsistent and troublesome anyway.

Two factors nobody seems to be considering are 1) how much we've missed Emo 2) We've got two new 'secret' options that may become more realistic over the next six months that could be considered right midfielders/attackers, and won't involve a transfer. It's a gamble, but there's a possibility IMO if we're expecting a new RM to turn up in Jan that it won't happen..........

Actually a very good point. With Benni apparently not being able to play sucessfully alongside Santa Cruz, it might be a good idea to bring in someone who can play alongside Cruz.

If Benni can put in some good performances between now and January, we might be able to get a good fee for him and bring in this chap who is quite a bit younger!

It's been a very long time since we had a strike partnership that scared the oposition, and hit it off well as a partnership!

There has certainly been a short article in the LT in the last few days saying an approach for Pennant in January was highly unlikely.

We've missed emerton a lot. But we've missed him more at right back than right winger. I'll be amazed if there is a secret option not yet mentioned but I think Ince's eggs are in the Pennant basket whether we like it or not

If we sign Pennant after Ince stating he needed time to decide who to get, i would be furious. I mean he hasn't even played in ages, so it can't be like Ince has seen him playing and been impressed.

Besides, i seem to remember the comments from JW being, that we would be getting a player equally as good as Bentley when it comes to replacing him. If anyone thinks Pennant is as good as Bentley, then they seriously need checking into rehab! :lol::huh:

I am concerned after it seems the club was pretty apathetic about getting a Bentley replacement that Rovers are still not being linked to any wingers even in the fantasy realms of tribal football.

Pennant is a no go. The likelihood is that he will run his contract down then turn into a rescue mission gamble by one of the promoted sides next summer. The lad has more baggage than a pack mule.
