Harry - LCFC Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 Nice save. Yeah realised I'd posted it in the wrong thread and was awaiting buckets of hate from everyone so I just banged in any old stuff that made sense and posted that instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deucalion Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 The administrator would probably offer him a slightly better contract anyway just to recoup some cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian the fox Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 Wouldnt want to confuse Howard with a qualty target man tbf , without knocking his commitment & effort in the past , He's had his moments without ever being more than a " journeyman " I know that hurts , but thats the truth , We need more than effort to get out this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellyfox Posted 16 July 2012 Share Posted 16 July 2012 Futacs seems a good replacement for Howard tbh, Howard isn't getting any younger after all As he has left don't matter how old he is. If Futacs was a target man with a wooden leg he would still be our best target man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 16 July 2012 Share Posted 16 July 2012 He's under 24 and has been offered new terms by Pompey, so they are due some compo. Bit silly really! Good move by Pompey. Knew clubs were watching him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand Of God Posted 16 July 2012 Share Posted 16 July 2012 The surprise at the open training session on Saturday will probably be Futacs. They wont announce it on the OS until after Saturday i don't think. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont announce it on the OS until after Saturday i don't think. Just a thought. Is this a wind up? The headline read this: New Leicester City kit 'set to surprise the fans' The kit itself is the surprise. Why is that so hard to understand? http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/New-Leicester-City-kit-set-surprise-fans/story-16543034-detail/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 16 July 2012 Share Posted 16 July 2012 Can't believe it but I agree with you. I'm not particularly thrilled about this but it's happening and I'll see how he does. His record is less than impressive, maybe he can be more prolific with us? Can't agree with this at all... There's a surprise! A target man, if used effectively, brings the attacking midfielders into play by shielding the ball and laying it off to the oncoming player at exactly the right time. Mark Hughes was exceptional at it. As is Rickie Lambert. Adkins played him beautifully all season, exactly to his strengths. They are also useful in holding up play and keeping possession at times when the team is under pressure... Something that City were appalling at doing last season. They also don't need to be tall. Hughes was not particularly tall... Just very strong and stocky. The problem with a big striker is that they encourage players to look up and ping the high ball to them. But a target man doesn't have to be built this way and a team containing one doesn't have to play this way. Fernando Llorente at Bilbao is another good example, and is currently being courted by Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
