Target Man (1 Viewer)

Skybluesimon · Jul 4, 2012

Very pleased with the two signings we have made so far but I think we must sign a target man before the start of the season to cope with the physicality of the division. Was a fan of Clive Platt last year and feel we could do with another player of that manner, not to start but maybe to come off the bench in desperate situations as at the moment our front line is looking a little short! Any ideas for possible signings?
What happened to Parkin after we missed out on him?

We didn't miss out on Parkin, Cardiff tried to palm him on is as a makeweight for Turner. He wanted £9.5k per week, unless he's now willing to take a 1/3 of that he's a none starter.

He's joined Fleetwood Town

Marko Mitrovic who was released from chelsea good on fm12 and i reckon worth a shout

skybluesalex · Jul 4, 2012

also Patrick Agyemang from QPR also on a freebie

castlevaleskyblue · Jul 4, 2012

Steve Howard

sky_blue_up_north · Jul 4, 2012

Howard get my vote

sw88 · Jul 4, 2012

Live it how fans judge players on their Football manager stats I do it too when researching a player so this isn't a dig at anyone!

I'm not sure who would be suited to being a target man. I'm more worried where goals are going to from as supposed to who is going to set them up.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jul 4, 2012

Chris Porter 6 foot 1 out of contract with Sheff Utd only 28
Steve Howard out of contract with Leicester he is like 35 or something now though

Anyone else will probably require a fee or a loan deal

pusbccfc · Jul 4, 2012

How about akinfenwa absolute beast. Also scored plenty of goals in his partnership with Cody Mcdonald at Gillingham

pusbccfc · Jul 4, 2012

Strongest player on the whole of fifa also

CJparker · Jul 4, 2012

Shefki Kuqi can hold his own, just got released by Ipswich. He is a big man and although 35 could be a Platt-esque weapon

FinnishSkyBlue · Jul 4, 2012

shefki kuqi released by ipswich? haven't played for ages at portman road... last season he was with oldham and scored about 15 at this level so could do a job for city.

ccfc_Tom · Jul 4, 2012

howard or adebola for a year a piece. Agyemang would be class, i expect champ teams will want though.

Agyemang went on loan to Stevenage and scored 1 in 15

skyblueinBaku · Jul 4, 2012

Akinfenwa would certainly answer the question 'who would be the best partner for Cody?'

Agree. Akinfenwa would be a good choice as someone who can offer something different.

Haha really? maybe not then, last time i saw him play he impressed me.

He was playing in an ultra defensive team though.

I'd imagine we'd make more chances for him than stevenage did aswell

speedie87 · Jul 4, 2012

i've seen akinfewa play quite a few times, seriously he's not good enough for lge 1.

When i've seen him he was shite, like worse than platt

skybluebeduff · Jul 4, 2012

He's as fat as big mommas house so nah Afackkinfatty can just get out your minds straight away

CCFC_Charlie · Jul 4, 2012

Loads of options on here http://www.thepfa.com/transferlist

Will take your word for it as never seen him play a whole match. Just know he is big and strong so would offer an alternative style.

pusbccfc · Jul 4, 2012

Akinfenwa's goal scoring record pisses on any of our current players.

Sorry lads, from what I saw of Porter in the play offs, he looked dreadful.

Howard, despite his previous connections, would do a job for us...whether our playing budget stretches to buying him, I doubt.

Based on what evidence?

AT's tactics from last season?

He said hes mixing the tactics up didnt he? and making attacking signings. You think we'll make less chances than stevenage then?

Ok fair enough, I just mentioned him as he wasn't ancient like Adebola and Howard and had played for clubs at this level and higher an above.

Personally I wouldn't go for Howard, I would rather try and get someone on loan tbh

SkyBluePryce · Jul 4, 2012

has anyone actually seen Akinfenwa, he's more wide than he is big (not saying he's short), he's hardly a great player at league 2- I wouldn't like him to join. I firstly would like to see more signinings before suggesting a target man, you never know we may be the new swansea
