Presuming that we get the youth +3 spots and some kind of reserve team who could we sign of Aussies and kiwis who could be an extra striker?
You miss the point entirely. The point is that Ernie doesn't want another striker, for whatever reason.
I don't think that is necessarily true. Earlier in the off season there was talk of signing a striker, that dried up and we ended up signing midfielders. Ernie seems fairly happy with that result but I don't think our lack of an international striker was necessarily for a lack of trying.
Ernie has said that he will sit with the squad he has for 5 weeks or or so and see what he needs, if this trend of missed opportunities in pre-season continues Ernie will know what he needs and be wanting to sign a solution.
Presuming the more pessimistic of us are correct then this will be the case and presuming either that we get these +3 spots and free up some cap space or somehow don't get McGlicnchy and free up more then we would be in the market for an Aussie or Kiwi striker.
In spite of the fact that we have a full squad Ernie is still considering making additions which suggests that one of those two are possibilities. So seeing as this is transfer speculation I was wondering if anyone had any possible targets besides maybe Watson to speculate on?
I mean given one of the above circumstances is there anyone we could sign who would actually improve our strike force?
Edit: Also I don't recall Ernie saying that he didn't want another striker, I think he said that our search for striker was over, presumably because we missed our targets.
