Forward Targets Next Season

[andythefish]

I would try and tempt Jason Roberts with a big fat bonus for getting us into the playoffs/automatic promotion spots!

[Sleeping Giants]

Rickie Lambert all day long-scores goals for fun with both feet & a fair few headers. And affordable I'd imagine compared to Beattie.

Bah!!....I was posting this a couple fo years ago when he was at Bristol Rovers!! Bet he would have cost less then!!

[Ric-Roc]

How many did Furlong get?

28 years old, never played any higher than League one. Previous clubs Bristol Rovers, Rochdale, Stockport and Macclesfield. How many will
he get in Championship, 10 at best.

What's your point refarding Furs? Don't see it.

At the end of the day he's a prolific scorer you can only score against what's in front of you. 10 in the championship?! Yea right I guarantee he would double what Simpson would get. Scores from all over the box and plenty with his nut, does Simpson score headers? No didn't think so either. But hey its all about opinions eh.

[W10 RANGER]

Lambert all day he is really good i think he scored 30+ already so we can't complain and Ebanks-Blake will be a good buy aswell IF wolves stay up in the prem

[sirpiechucker]

Rob Hulse, John Stead, James Beattie ??? Why are we aiming for such 'dross' and 'have beens' We need much better quality that that! Beattie only ever looked good in a less than average Saints side and that was over 6 years ago and the other two never cut it at Championship level. Lambert is a must and what about Lita?

Sorry but is the same James Beattie who scored 22 for Sheffield United in the 07/08 season and 12 in 23 in 08/09 before being bought by Stoke where he finished the season scoring 7 in 16? In other words: 41 goals in 78 appearances. Is that dross???

[Robsondinho]

he will sign some dirty big lump donkeys to hoof the ball to.

Steve howard

David hayes

Steve howard

wd still be an improvement on no one, which is effectively what we have.

[Robsondinho]

that is true....I love the sexy game, but F me I would take a donkey over the current strikers.

[sirpiechucker]

Steve howard

Unfortunately when you come up against the likes of Chris Morgan and Claude Davis in this league you need donkey's.

I'd rather we went for Hulse or Henderson but as SIAL has said Howard is better than what we have, which is Agyemang or Pellicori.

[QPR1974]

The very same steve howard who murdered our famous teflon 4 today,Steve parkin the beast good shout,pack the team with horrible so and so's and the days of getting done 4 and 5s will be long gone,dont care about the style just want rangers in the big league again sometime soon.

Used to watch Beattie train when my lad was at Saints. He's the laziest player in the world, worse than Priskin. Harry Rednapp used to send him off from the training pitch cos of his attitude. Big time charlie ( that never made it big!) Lucky in front of goal thats all

[Robsondinho]

beattie is a horrible c***.

Well if he gets that lucky that many times I'm sure we wouldn't mind.

I'm not saying he is the best player in the world but he's one of the best we could get. I'd prefer Ebanks-Blake (don't think he is Premiership standard yet) but I think we need to look at regular goal scorers in this division over the past few seasons and sign them. The likes of Maynard, Paterson (when Burnley come down), Hulse and Henderson all scored more than a dozen goals on at least a couple of occassions over the past 3 seasons. They all know where the net is and would all be an improvement on what we have.

[Sotonsuperhoop]

Agree SirPie but the likes of Beattie are not the answer. Ricky Lambert should be first on NW's list
