SergioPeter89 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 So according to different reliable media sources, our manager has flown out to speak with an unknown striker. Instead of reading a little bit of this in a lot of other threads, can we not discuss him in here? And then Glenn or someone can change the title when the player is known. Player that have been mentioned to be Mr.X so far: * Raul * Papiss Demba Cisse * Kevin Mirallas * Luca Toni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelsta Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I said due to Venkys desperate to keep the fans onside and Cisse allegedly in france then maybe just maybe Cisse could be the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioPeter89 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Was actually thinking the same thing after reading the latest interview with Venkys. But that would be too much to hope for. Anyway, I really can`t see a good striker being enough as long as Kean is in charge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheArtistFormallyKnownAsJB Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Was actually thinking the same thing after reading the latest interview with Venkys. But that would be too much to hope for. Anyway, I really can`t see a good striker being enough as long as Kean is in charge... It will take more than 2 games with his own players for anyone to safely judge. I fear playing 442 away from home, with David Dunn having to cover will not help his cause though. If petrovic turns out to be a supercharged JJ resuts could change round quite quickly. Perhaps the attacking talent we seem to be be adding to, might have a solid foundation to work with. I hope that the Mr X is Cisse due to his amazing goal scoring record in a league more like our own than many other european. Still, things would be much easier if we could afford to sign guaranteed goals for 20m+ e.g. Darren Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youandwhosearmy Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 my guess is someone who is a non starter, with an average goal scoring record in a poorer league and will cost between 0-2 million pounds... I hope I am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Wizard Windy Miller Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Flying out to talk to said striker also indicates a good player... However history this summer indicates whomever it is will probably be a bit ######. Hoping it might be Trezeguet though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brfcrule1 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 well my guesses would be either Luca Toni,Lucas Podolski or Vagner Love any of those would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Atkins' Bald Patch Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 it says in the LT this morning that the striker in question is an international and that he wants it sorting before the international break that is coming up There was talk of Marco Ruben last night, but yet he's not mentioned in the list in the opening post of this thread. Has someone ITK ruled him out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukey Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 After roversfanben asked nicko if it was cisse, nicko responded with "@roversfanben Player is a bit cheaper than that. Target is ok. Don't know if Rovers will get him. Not sure where that would leave Ibisevic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 my guess is someone who is a non starter, with an average goal scoring record in a poorer league and will cost between 0-2 million pounds... I hope I am wrong Also players that have bad disciplinary record come a bit cheaper, so look for anyone that has assaulted their manager, team mate or randomly beaten a member of the public.

Nelsta Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think the mirror is grasping at straws, Ibisevic is still thought to be comming yet that article says "After ruling out Hoffenheim's Bosnia forward Vedad Ibisevic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBRFC Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think it's pretty obvious that it will be somebody that 90% of this board has never heard of. Doesn't mean to say he wont be very good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
