Still an omission of Klose or Heskey there Nicko.... go on, please be Klose.

(you don't have to reply Nicko, just give us a few minutes to actually believe that we have a decent target in mind)

KLOSE...but no cigar.

I am hearing Benjani has failed a medical or two elsewhere in the past couple of weeks...so I don't think he will be coming to Rovers.

Beattie is still a fall-back.

But there seems to be someone who could fit the bill in terms of experience, stature and price.

Just wonder about his wages...

Looking at Nicko's original quote I think we can rule out Beattie as the one we are after as he is the 'fall-back' option. Raul may be a possibility but I just can't see it happening with the money he would want and with other teams after him. Tottenham have been linked with him recently and I think that would be the kind of club he would go to. However, I would not say no to him as he is a legend and probably still a class player but he would have to play up front alongside Niko, not on his own. Niko could learn a lot from someone like him and become a better player as a result.

Ok, so Nicko has now ruled both of them out. Looks like it could be a fairly surprise name but hopefully worth it!

Depends what list of targets he's on Den. If he's on one with Klose and Raul then obviously he's not an option. If he's on a list with Benjani and heskey then maybe he becomes more appealing.

Not even sure about that TBH. At least Benjani would want the ball to feet. Football, football, football - that's what we want. Ball on ground and all that. None of this up in the air to a big front man that both Heskey and Beattie would encourage.

Anyway, preferably it will be a different list. :)

Depends whether we want to score goals Iceman. We need two strikers, before the beginning of the season.

point i was making, is that we would still have time to look before the window closes. 3 good results in the 1st 3 games before the window closes, without having signed a striker would be very good. So im going to remain positive, even though its very difficult in the current circumstances.

I know you don't rate him Den but Kalinic has shown if the ball is played to his feet he can hold it up and lay it off to other players, of course they have to support him to make it work. We play a more back to front aerial game, if that's the way Sam wants to play we might as well get a 6 foot 5 + big man that is great in the air.

I don't think we played that game as much in the second half of the season RVR, but I am a believer that simply by playing the big guy up front, the team will rely more on the long ball, particularly when we're under pressure because it's the easy way out for them. Bellamy would demand it to feet, as would any quality striker.

Roberts = striker who doesn't score goals and gives away free-kicks

Heskey = striker who doesn't score and WINS free-kicks by throwing himself around

now , knowing Sam's love of set-pieces and percentage play i'd be surprised if Heskey hadn't been considered before

still think we'll end up with Beattie though

Amazing that we are all getting exited at signing someone and that includes me :rolleyes:

Who can we get with our mighty 2.5 million that will change our goalscoring problems?

The mind boggles.

Urm!

"Even some rumours that efforts are being made by the current regime and those ever-lovely Trustee types to fund a bid for a striker."

Fingers crossed.
