Kevin Phillips......Michael Owen.....Gianfranco Zola....


And they all played (possibly) with big fellas next to them...I thought the point was that a big fella would act as a foil to the strikers we already have?

Does it matter how tall he is? if hes good enough how can you complain ?


Missing the point - Tony P has said that both European strikers who will be trialling are big boys/targetmen.

At 166cm, this guy certainly ain't big enough to fill that role, so it's highly unlikely it's him.

I agree if we do get a small striker,they would have to be paired with a taller,bigger striker.

I like that Ricki has identified the type of player he wants and the club are looking for that.
 
I do however feel like we dont need a tall guy to be sucessful. Just because this guy is short doesnt mean its not true.
 
I think that if anyone is willing to come for a trial then we will take them and it wont matter about the rest. I think we will get two targetmen trialling and then hopefully this guy too.
 
Its great to see the aint all past their used by dates too!

i think it will be great havin a tall striker.

i think the A-League needs a Peter Crouch.

- target man for corners/crosses
- target man for the long ball


- then, when no one is expecting it, we change our target man (but we don't actually)

we just give that title to somebody else - for eg. Tim Brown

so now, the opposition will be like

"hey, you see that useless twat doing nothin in the mid-field"
"yea"
"mark him close, keep your eyes on 'em"
"umm.... what about the tall fella up front?"
"na, they're not smart enough to have him as the target man."

THEN !!!!!!

the Crouch look-a-like recieves an unexpected long ball from the other useless twat at left back...
(it was supposed to be a 2metre pass down the line to bertos)

Crouchy look-a-like chests it down, and floats the ball over the keeper to fire us into the finals !!!!


IT'S OK GUYS !!!!!! I GOT ALL THIS SORTED OUT.

i'm on my way to fax this plan to Tony P.

relax fellas it's OK.

don't worry.

Since when has Lemsip been the Drug of Choice for the Yellow Fever yoof? Am I missing out on something?

Tony P says two European strikers will trial at the club in June.
The Lithuanian dude starts his trial today.
Now we're linked with a Dutch striker who's supposedly gonna come here later in June.

Add 2 and 2 now.el grapadura2009-06-01 11:30:07

It's more likely to be Juliana IMO. He's more experienced, has scored more goals (43 from 146) and isn't a midget at 1.76m.

 Plus it would be cool to have a Caribbean dude playing for us, eh mon?

Will he actually have a target printed on his back?
