Wonder what Kevin Kyle's up to.
I just mean someone we could have on the bench who gives us that option ,yes we try play football and try cut open defences but there are games were we try and try and we just cant get through .there was games last season were we could have played all day and not scored due to a packed defense and with barasic and tav putting balls into the box a big striker gives us a different option late in a game we can bring on to try grab us a goal
Not sure Hateley and Prso didn't have more to their games than just being big target men.Still think we could do with a big tall striker a hateley / prso type to give us a different option if we are searching for a goal ,someone who could get on to the end of a cross in a packed defence and can rough defenders up

Kyle Lafferty is a big tall striker
Well he’s big.Kyle Lafferty is a big tall striker
Hately didn't do us any harmGod forbid we ever have to rely on tactics invoving a big tall striker.
I would give up watching football forever
Wonder what Kevin Kyle's up to.
The equivalent Hately/Prso is outwith our budget just now I fear. These guys are once in a generation plyers. We've tried but ended up with imposters. It's not enough to be big and strong, they have to be able to play a bit too.Not sure the OP is saying that either, but he’s right to point out those particular traits as something we’re possibly missing.
I agree with you mate,I am not saying we change our style and lump the ball in to the box at every opportunity,but there are occasions when we could mix it up and a striker who could win the ball in the air would be great for Alfie or Defoe to feed off the chances this would create.I just mean someone we could have on the bench who gives us that option ,yes we try play football and try cut open defences but there are games were we try and try and we just cant get through .there was games last season were we could have played all day and not scored due to a packed defense and with barasic and tav putting balls into the box a big striker gives us a different option late in a game we can bring on to try grab us a goal
Even if you are right, OP.
Where do we find a match-winning striker who can make an impact from the bench and is within our budget and wage structure?
It's not the worst idea for games where it's not going to plan, I just think it's a narrow and difficult criteria to recruit successfully.
We have to assume that our tactics will work MOST of the time.
We don't really play that style of football, so I doubt Gerrard will be looking for someone like that.
Our strength is our link up play around the box, not humping hopeful balls into the box mate.
Haha well played18st 7lbs
Hmmm doubt he would be much use in Europe but would probably score for fun against Hamilton St Mirren etc.Driving taxis mate.
Kyle Lafferty is a big tall striker
Morelos gets plenty goals from crosses, dunno wot height has got to do with it
Old school, nah I wouldn't call it that! So tell us more about the bung scandal that got you humped from the England job Sam ??Call me old school but I would always like a big unit of a striker on the bench for games when you are a goal down or level in the last few mins
Recently retired Crouch made a living from it!I see where u are coming from mate and I pretty much agree with u but I don’t know who would be that striker prepared to sit on the bench
Yes but he has retiredRecently retired Crouch made a living from it!
Yeah, hasn't struck much though, waste of space here ! ( or indeed possibly anywhere else )
If looking at striker options it would surely be worth taking into account height but only after taking into account the basics for a striker !
Morelos has scored in his last 2 European games with headers.
Defoe scored a header today & scored one against Marseille.
If the service & ball is good, a good striker will bury the header, regardless of size. It's all about their movement.
EE might have done a job a few years ago!Could we sign peter crouch on a sim only?
Talking push will standing on the back of a bin lorryWonder what Kevin Kyle's up to.
Let's hump the ball up the park and straight into the box?? Why don't we have a midfield fire sale also, bypass the play makers and quality build up play we have adopted under SG and just go with the route 1 style Aberdeen demonstrate.
FF at times honestly makes me wonder wtf goes through some people's heads.
People need to chill the %^*& out, it's pre season, we are playing well and as the weeks pass the opponents quality increase but players cant perform at 100% non stop.
Another test this week but we will be fine
Still think we could do with a big tall striker a hateley / prso type to give us a different option if we are searching for a goal ,someone who could get on to the end of a cross in a packed defence and can rough defenders up
Ask Crouch if he's got one more season in him
