Nah. He seems to have been around for years so his legs must be gone.Daniel Sturridge is available.
Watch a game and see, it's the style of playWe have Ponticelli, scored a hat-trick just the other day - can't get in our team!
Why are we preferring a 'striker' who hasn't scored a single goal all season?
What is that now for Ponticelli? 0 goals in 9 league games? or is it 10 already? You can't play Ponti, McNulty and Doyle in the same team as each other in a 4-4-2. With those 2 up front you'd have to play proper football and the gap between Doyle and the strikers is too big even for a talented lad like Bayliss to cover on his own. It would either need a system/tactics change or Ponti to play instead of McNulty. And that's before taking into consideration the state of the pitches for the next 2 months.We have Ponticelli, scored a hat-trick just the other day - can't get in our team!

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas. Much traveled. Free agent?
The striker recruitment is the most disappointing part of the summer recruitment for me. Individually I was happy with all the transfers made - I even understood the renewal of Beavon's contract as I still think he has something to offer at this level if utilised correctly. When you look how we've set up all season though with either one or both of our central midfielders deep lying, then not having a genuine target man in the squad is baffling.Think that's what people miss.
If you take out Biamou you need somebody who will win headers, hold it up when we hammer it forward time after time. Just changing Biamou for Ponticelli wouldn't work, it then means changing the system to suit him and McNulty both being players who want to play on the shoulder of the last man and need to be put through and chances created.
It's been said for months now and it's happened when Biamou gets taken off that we don't alter the style of play to suit.
JET is just playing in QPR reserves. He's not a free agent until the summer.how long has he been out the game ?
We can't sign anyone who has been without a club since last season. We've been there and got the T-shirt. It takes far too long to get to match fitness, and we need someone who can hit the ground running and provide an instant impact.

Gabby Agbonlahor. Available free? Needs a club. 31. Lives local? Still v good at our level I would imagine.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas. Much traveled. Free agent? Still only 28? Good at our level, has knack of scoring.
Do we look for this type of player or a punt at an unknown or like Nazon a loanee not in currently in first team squads?
Barrett scored 3 today Ponticelli 2 more I no it was only an under 23s game but surely the way they play could be adapted to the first team at least they are both full of confidence unlike Max.Not saying play them every game but surely a great option.
Agbonlahor? Lol
OK Grendel I'll bite. Why Lol?
Food as in what you hear on grime songs?We want someone who is hungry for the game not food
I have no idea what grime songs areFood as in what you hear on grime songs?
Food = drugs in themI have no idea what grime songs are

Marc Richards: Swindon Town sign released Northampton Town forward
Marc Richards I know he’s 35, but proven goalscorer at this level. Just signed 18 month contract with Swindon.
Remember he scored the winner vs us 2 years ago in fa cup.
Would have have been an excellent signing. On a free transfer.
We've possibly missed out here on a good goal scoring bully who gives a outlet.
Would of been perfect to take Biamou out the firing line.
Yeah he's 35 but he's still got it, worshiped at Northampton.
Swindon doing some reasonable business this window
I’m really disappointed we didn’t do this!!!
