indierich06 Posted 25 October 2012 Share Posted 25 October 2012 A 'host' of Champ teams in for Cameron Jerome apparently (according to SSN) let's hope we're not one of them! Really? I've always thought he was a pretty decent championship striker. Did alright when he was at Birmingham, didn't set the world alight, but did alright.

Ric Flair Posted 25 October 2012 Share Posted 25 October 2012 I'd love Steve Morison or Simeon Jackson from Norwich on loan but not sure if Hughton would part with either at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 25 October 2012 Share Posted 25 October 2012 To my mind there's only any point going out and signing players who are going to be better, or have the potential to be better than what we have at present. Pearson said this much in his post match interview on Tuesday. This is for two reasons.. To consolidate the great start we have had and to build a squad capable of competing in the Prem. There's little point, in my mind, being linked with older players who have played in the Prem already. They have had their best times. Id like to see us look at players under 25 who have still got it all to play for, to improve and who still have hunger in their belly. That's why I've banged on about players like Jay Thomas. I think he's got great potential to only get better. Same with Charlie Austin. He's only 23 and will be looking for a move to a bigger club at some point. These are the type of players I would part with money for because I think they will add real value to what we have already. Big Jones?.... Not for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 25 October 2012 Share Posted 25 October 2012 He scored 20 goals in 23 apperances for Feyenoord last season. He isn't getting a sniff at Manchester City 5th choice atm, a loan spell here would be beneficial for him he is a very good striker as proved by that spell you alluded to. Joshua King might be the best young player at holding the ball up i've seen, he was superb when Hull played us last season. Might not be a goalscorer but Knockaert playing off him would be lethal. Seems to have some talent, preferably we will get a striker in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 25 October 2012 Share Posted 25 October 2012 Loan forwards that are options we could potentially go for Wickham- Sunderland Guidetti- Man City Joshua King- Man Utd Vellios- Everton Guidetti would be amazing! Thought I would chuck a few more names in that could be possible: Samed Yesil-Liverpool Adam Morgan-Liverpool Will Keane- Man U Jamie mackie-QPR Adam Le fondre-Reading Would be happy with any of these! Yes 3 of them are unproven but they will be hungry and want to prove a point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me I don't disagree with you but would not rule out a player on age if he was proven, even if it is a short term deal. But to be honest I don't think that would be likely.

dmayne7 Posted 25 October 2012 Share Posted 25 October 2012 Good shouts, I would take Simeon Jackson in a heartbeat. Always rated him from his Gillingham days. I'm from Gillingham and used to have a season ticket there. Was never totally convinced aboutnhim and how far he could go. Good player but he just lacks that something. Having said that, he has improved so much since he's been at Norwich that he could be a decent shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indierich06 Posted 25 October 2012 Share Posted 25 October 2012 Would love John Guidetti to come here but it'll never, ever happen. Too good for the Championship - like someone else said, he bagged 20 goals for Feynoord last season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonFox Posted 25 October 2012 Share Posted 25 October 2012 Kenwyne Jones > Marko Futacs - how would getting him in not improve the team?

lee(lcfc) Posted 25 October 2012 Share Posted 25 October 2012 i would be happy with a striker what will bang goals in for fun, like the yak did for us. nugent and vardy are playing good together but they have wasted alot of good chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too good for the Championship - like someone else said, he bagged 20 goals for Feynoord last season... We could have had Guidetti under Sven. I remember reading a quote from him saying that he would like to work with him again. Didn't he go on loan to Burnley and not do a great deal? That doesn't mean he wouldn't now that he's had more experience though. I'd be glad to see him down here if we could make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too good for the Championship - like someone else said, he bagged 20 goals for Feynoord last season... After the Ajax result people might disagree but I think that the worst teams in the Eredivisie are a fair bit worse than the worst in the Championship but the best teams in Holland are better than the best in the championship so I think that he'd be playing a similar standard in this league but he would be up against a more consistent standard of team. I would agree that he should be looking towards top flight football in one of the big leagues but I wouldn't rule it out a short-term loan.
