If i could tell you that mate Id be a very rich man!

We can all GUESS, but tbf, I havent a clue. Would have said Crouchy if he hadnt alreayd moved oop north or Robbie Keane if he hadnt gone across the pond. Hard to see anybody that might fit the bill?

[Yousef]

Carlos Tevez but no chance.

We don't need a striker who scores goals, we need someone who holds the ball up for others.

In our current system, yes, the lone strikers main role is holding the ball and laying it to the 2nd wave of 3 midfielders by passing him, ie SWP, Adel & Barton. Obviously needs to chip in with a few goals too, but he cant play as a typical goal scorer, ie on the shoulder of the last man, when he is up there on his own can he.

If we were playing 2 up top then this would be different.

Some can actually do both

I's sure some can, the trouble for QPR though at the moment is Bothroyd cant, but here's hoping he finds he scoring boots soon.

I know where they are - DJ's got em

Kenwyne Jones - not saying he'll leave Stoke but with Crouch, Walters and Jerome as well as Fuller at the club he has a lot of competition to start regularly.

True but we WILL sign another - question is who.
