Didn't we do much better after Benni left?

But if we flog Roberts? Along with Kalinic and Samba out who the hell are we going to play up front. From Sam's interview it already seems like we've tried plan Z and gotten nowhere.

I'm off down the bookies to put down a tenner on Rigters scoring against Everton though, the odds on that will be awesome.

I have never been too concerned with our striker search, however as it's dragged on this long my main worry is a panic buy. We could probably get through some games as we are but if no one arrives and the window is only a day or so away from closing I think the situation we've put ourselves in will see us signing any old mug.

Looks like there is a good chance it will be Samba leading the line against Everton, he will give his all there is no doubt about that but i would rather have our best central defender in defence rather than attack.

We really have cocked up if we are going into the new season with just two strikers, one who could be out for some time and has had no pre-season whatsoever and another who just can't score often enough (and might be gone soon if reports are correct).

The biggest mistake we have made in the past year or more is not looking after the wage budget properly. Pedersen new deal, likely wage increase? Salgado veteran past his best and probably our biggest earner. Wage budget is maxed out- we can't bring anyone in without selling really. Sam's rant about how much tax players pay is an obvious hint that he is hamstrung by the wage budget- a problem he contributed to.

Everton might have been able to play with no recognised striker for some time and get decent results but Everton's midfield is far better than anything we can put out.

I'm dreading this season.

We have two wings. ;)

I'm still worried about goals from Olsson though. I mean, I know he went very close on occasions, and scored two for Sweden, but he hasn't scored a league goal for us yet.

Scored a cracker against Villa though in the League Cup Semi.

The striker we bring in is going to have to be super-human. Always fit and does the job of two players, scoring about 30 league goalss a season. Who was the last player to do that for us? Sutton?

Been speaking to one of the academy lads today, guess who is the best finisher at the club?

Olssen, they say his pace, movement and finishing is quite awesome!

Edit. Ex academy lad!!

I know the brother of one of our Goalkeepers.

He has said on many occassions that Diouf is by far the best player in training.

Goes to show....

Reid gone....Gala in for Grella....Italians in for Jacobsen...Turks in for Zurab...& Baggies in for Roberts

That sounds like the perfect summer to move forward...until you realise Zurab doesnt want to go, Grella is demanding too much & nobody is coming into the club so far!!

Will be sad to see Jase go. Committed player, very decent on his day, and a great bloke.

He is a nice guy.... just a bit dim -

After falling out at West Brom, Gary Megson said “You are talking about a man who spelt his name wrongly on his transfer request” :unsure:

As frustrating as Roberts can be, I find it unfathomable to even think of letting him go without having a replacement as good as finalised.

Speaking of keepers, Frankie is in the under 21 squad, I wonder if anyone can remember the last time we had two players in the squad?

Bentley and Derbyshire ?

Didn't they both score in the first game at Wembley ?
