SergioPeter89 Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 So according to different reliable media sources, our manager has flown out to speak with an unknown striker. Instead of reading a little bit of this in a lot of other threads, can we not discuss him in here? And then Glenn or someone can change the title when the player is known. Player that have been mentioned to be Mr.X so far: * Raul * Papiss Demba Cisse * Kevin Mirallas * Luca Toni

Nelsta Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I said due to Venkys desperate to keep the fans onside and Cisse allegedly in france then maybe just maybe Cisse could be the guy.
SergioPeter89 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 Was actually thinking the same thing after reading the latest interview with Venkys. But that would be too much to hope for. Anyway, I really can`t see a good striker being enough as long as Kean is in charge...
dubdubdub Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Anyway, I really can`t see a good striker being enough as long as Kean is in charge... Twenty minutes and two posts that took....
Guest TheArtistFormallyKnownAsJB Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Was actually thinking the same thing after reading the latest interview with Venkys. But that would be too much to hope for. Anyway, I really can`t see a good striker being enough as long as Kean is in charge... It will take more than 2 games with his own players for anyone to safely judge. I fear playing 442 away from home, with David Dunn having to cover will not help his cause though. If petrovic turns out to be a supercharged JJ resuts could change round quite quickly. Perhaps the attacking talent we seem to be be adding to, might have a solid foundation to work with. I hope that the Mr X is Cisse due to his amazing goal scoring record in a league more like our own than many other european. Still, things would be much easier if we could afford to sign guaranteed goals for 20m+ e.g. Darren Bent.
youandwhosearmy Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 my guess is someone who is a non starter, with an average goal scoring record in a poorer league and will cost between 0-2 million pounds... I hope I am wrong
Wing Wizard Windy Miller Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Flying out to talk to said striker also indicates a good player... However history this summer indicates whomever it is will probably be a bit ######. Hoping it might be Trezeguet though...
Brfcrule1 Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 well my guesses would be either Luca Toni,Lucas Podolski or Vagner Love any of those would be great.
Blueboy Downunder Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 apparaently the flight was not to germany. but the be a fantasist....podolski would be amazing.
slough_rover Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Is this the same mystery striker John Williams promised us after the sale of Benni...
rovers238 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Is this the same mystery striker John Williams promised us after the sale of Benni... Could well be looking at the time its taking to complete some of these transfers
Ralfinho Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 it says in the LT this morning that the striker in question is an international and that he wants it sorting before the international break that is coming up
Mark Atkins' Bald Patch Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 it says in the LT this morning that the striker in question is an international and that he wants it sorting before the international break that is coming up There was talk of Marco Ruben last night, but yet he's not mentioned in the list in the opening post of this thread. Has someone ITK ruled him out?
braddock Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 my guess is someone who is a non starter, with an average goal scoring record in a poorer league and will cost between 0-2 million pounds... I hope I am wrong I'll take that if they play well for us. Surely the future is the important thing.
lukey Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 After roversfanben asked nicko if it was cisse, nicko responded with "@roversfanben Player is a bit cheaper than that. Target is ok. Don't know if Rovers will get him. Not sure where that would leave Ibisevic"
chris Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 my guess is someone who is a non starter, with an average goal scoring record in a poorer league and will cost between 0-2 million pounds... I hope I am wrong Also players that have bad disciplinary record come a bit cheaper, so look for anyone that has assaulted their manager, team mate or randomly beaten a member of the public.
FGS5635 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Also players that have bad disciplinary record come a bit cheaper, so look for anyone that has assaulted their manager, team mate or randomly beaten a member of the public. One with a history of assaulting their manager sounds good to me
Roverdale Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Mateus Da Costa is one that the Mirror is suggesting? My link
Nelsta Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I think the mirror is grasping at straws, Ibisevic is still thought to be comming yet that article says "After ruling out Hoffenheim's Bosnia forward Vedad Ibisevic"
MarkBRFC Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I think it's pretty obvious that it will be somebody that 90% of this board has never heard of. Doesn't mean to say he wont be very good though.
ABBEY Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 it says in the LT this morning that the striker in question is an international and that he wants it sorting before the international break that is coming up Faroe islands is international
True Blue & White Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 So not a single journo went to the Airport to see where Kean was headed then?
braddock Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 So not a single journo went to the Airport to see where Kean was headed then? Let's hope not. Keep it under wraps.
True Blue & White Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Let's hope not. Keep it under wraps. Why?
