Target Man?? (1 Viewer)

[CW6]

Looking at our possible forward players for next year we have Elliot, Mcdonald, ROD, Sheff and maybe Fleck? (not sure if he could be used as a striker) All these players are pretty small, so stating the obviously we surely need the option of a big target man which i know has been discussed. I just want to throw a name out there (not sure if anyone has mentioned it) what about bringing big Dele Adebola back? Played for Notts County last year on loan but is 37 i think. Just a thought! Or do you think there is better and realistic players out there?

First thing, who's Thompson?

I think there are better options out there to be honest though.

Sorry haha, playing Football Manager and have a Thompson playing and was in my head! Obviously meant Elliot!

Gary Thompson!!!

 

[CW6]

Guaranteed to sign a Thompson now!

What about Jeffers? he's never really had a chance for us and as we've dropped down a league he may be of some use! and we still have O'donovan as an option...

 

[CW6]

Jeffers is a big lad but hes not the kid of player who i would throw on to try grab us a goal when were a goal down with 15 minutes to go from a set piece

 

[Ryan Parfrey]

Yeah i suppose. I'd still give him a chance anyway and Kuqi is a target man who is a free agent? surely he'd put a decent shift in for us as a sub maybe

How wasnt he? He was strong and good in the air. Nightmare for defenders, can't recall too many CB's last year that coped with him in the air! Either that or i have a crap memory

He doesn't score goals so therefore is not a good option when you are a goal down. He never attacked the ball well an he is so immobile, he definitely earned the nickname the tree.

Yeah suppose your right, we do need that kind of player though, in an ideal world we could get a big target man than can get us 20+ goals but there not easy to find! I think Steve Howard would be a good shout for a year. Didnt he score a fair few for Leicester in this league?

 

[Ryan Parfrey]

Wikipedia says he scored 13 goals in league 1 for Leicester and also contributed with numerous assists

Last season me and my mates saw him at the ricoh after a match, got quite excited that he was there as our guest, but sadly not he just wasn't playing for the opposition...
