We still need a striker

[Rebel R's]

Still short up front ,lots of options in all other departments but not with our strikers,Hulse(disappointing so far),HH(injured),Clarke(shite player),Agymang(out for the season) and Miller(not fully fit and can be recalled at any stage),so why have cover everywhere else but not up front,makes no sense,Im hopeful we do get Benni McCarthy in,we need him.

Benni McCarthy in,we need him.

Course we do!

[Sotonsuperhoop]

We've scored goals from all over the park this year and NW see's preventing goals as the priority. Its worked thus far so why change it? HH, Hulse, Miller, German, Routledge give us plenty of options.

You've left out Adel. He scores more than most strikers.

I would have mentioned him IF he was a striker but he isn't ,he is a midfielder and a very good one,but this thread is about the number of fit striker we have or don't have

My point is - the fact that he is not strictly speaking a striker is a moot point, because of his (1 in 2) goal scoring ratio being right up there with the best strikers.

It is also partly semantics - in the old days he would have been described as an 'inside-forward'.

Good to see someone's got a sense of humour. HH, Hulse and German should be sued under the sale of goods act.

im confident about miller ! he is what we need. he will still learn his trade with us but after couple of games he will shine.

Whats wrong with Smith leading the line, done it for Watford very successfully for years?

Agreed but like Mackie and Clarke! not played as a striker under warnock

True. He scored 17 for them in 08/09 season.

Benni McCarthy.. we need him!! Blimey never though I'd read that....

[Rebel R's]

It's not that I especially want McCarthy ,I don't but NW has said he wants him and he is free and he (if fit)would be someone you could throw on with 20 mins to go to win a game,and we could be short of that type of player with the injuries we have.I think it is a pity we didn't go after Austin,would have been a great signing but it would have meant paying a fee which NW wouldn't have been allowed do

[W12hoops]

Why not leroy lita?
Would be a transfer window to remember if sign him too!!!

[Rebel R's]

Would take him as well
