You make me want to hurt small animals.

Wrong forum dude! You need the 'Hunting, Shooting, Fishing and generally torturing small animals' website. Don't come back - I'm an animal lover!

Zingarevich & Hammond flew back from Portugal last night after no doubt having a meeting with McD about our woeful striking in pre-season.

Have they flown back to pay whatever it takes for a proper Premiership striker like Defoe?

[Esteban]

McDermott said he'd give the players a chance to shine in pre-season, so the next four games might be quite crucial in his decision making process. Failure to score a few, which is quite possible given the level of opposition we have left, might persuade him that he needs to sign another striker/creative player.

Here's hoping. Anyone who thinks that Pogrebnyak/Hunt/Roberts/Church is going to cut the mustard as a top flight strikeforce is utterly deluded.

You forgot ALF.

That probably speaks for itself in terms of how likely I think it is that he will make the step-up.

Yep, agree with that.

Pogrebnyak and Defoe combination would excite me however.

Is it any worse than Holt/Morison/Jackson/Vaughan/Martin? Or Graham/Lita/Moore? Or Bendtner/Wickham/Ji?

Pogrebnyak and Roberts are proven at that level, and Hunt is an adequate support striker who will chip in with a few. I don't see why ALF shouldn't step up. For Church, see Shane Long two years ago.

A lot depends on the service as well - already in the Championship this was often lacking .... Guthrie in the middle should help. Question is will our wingers cut it in the Prem?

I do think we may end up getting a new winger come Jan, much is yet to be discovered with how they will copy and Kebe is not exactly mr consistent

[melonhead]

pfft

[TheRoyalJoe]

Kebe will play better without three players constantly marking him and being injury free.

[Only one Trevor Morley]

I think ALF will make step up given the chance. In the second half of the season he only had small amount of playing time but still made a great impact with clinical finishes...

Is he as good as Defoe... clearly not - but a strikeforce of Pog, ALF, Roberts and defoe would be perfect.... Hunt can be team motivator from the sidelines ( ) Church can go elsewhere
