[Archived] Loan Signings...

[alexanders]

Ricky Lambert please

[Guest Norbert]

Would he be available on loan? Surely other Premier league teams would be ahead of us. Miles ahead.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Is that him who scored for the under 21's mid week. If so he looked a decent player.

Scored tonight as well.

Rickie Lambert wouldn't be available. Prem teams couldn't loan him but irrelevant nonetheless as he wouldn't be available.

[alexanders]

You sure? Soton spent a lot on Osvaldo from AS Roma ..

[chaddyrovers]

Bowyer is hoping to bring in a new striker on loan before Burnley game. likely to be target man type striker.

we are defo lacking this type of striker to give us a plan B. I cant see Best playing again for Rovers after his bust up with Bowyer after the Doncaster game.

[Tom]

Please not Wilbraham

Maynard or Sharp would be ok ideas

What happened with Best and Bowyer?

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Osvaldo, Lambert and Rodriguez up front. They had that Zambian player but he's gone out on loan, and Billy Sharp probably will as well.

No chance they're only having two main strikers in the squad.

[chaddyrovers]

Neither Maynard or Sharp are target man type striker on there. both are very similar to type of strikers to Rhodes so cant see them coming him.

What happened with Best and Bowyer?

there had a bust up after Doncaster cos Best wasn't happy at not playing/starting that game. was covered in the last podcast by Kamy

Rovers play better in a 4-2-3-1 formation and Rhodes is ALWAYS going to start cos he is more likely to score a goal than anyone is

[bluebruce]

Strange suggestion in that LET article. Says that Nunes going on loan to Coventry will free up funds for a striker on loan. Surely Nunes can't be on much to begin with, and Coventry are broke and in administration aren't they? So can't see them contributing much if anything.

Seems like guess work

Dailymail saying Wilbraham is coming in. He really IS that bad. Please anyone but him.

[Mani]

No one is saying Wilbraham is good but who wants to come and sit on our bench on loan? Wilbraham has not been included in Holloways squad so he will be up for it...

I have no issue at all with it. Maynard and Sharp aren't gonna leave the Premier league to sit on our bench...

[Neal]

Yeah, because when you're looking to bring in a striker... You have to consider one who hasn't scored for 18 months.

No one is saying Wilbraham is good

End of.

[Tom]

I can't see how he's better than Best it strikes me as just taking someone who's available and easy

He was laughably bad in the playoff final last season

[OJRovers]

Do we really need another 2nd rate striker?

If JR is injured - play Best or DJ Campbell (when fit)

There's also the option of playing King there or recalling Forrester from his loan (edit) or Goodwillie!

[G Somerset Rover]

He's 34 next month too. Hardly a fine wine either.

[pick32]

What's heskey up to these days or Akinbiyi they would be better.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Palace fans really don't rate him. As in really, really don't rate him.

What are we up to? (If he's coming).

[rovers_rob]

It's a tricky situation because we need a striker who is prepared to sit on the bench but will give their all when they come on.

So that basically rules out young strikers from the Premier League because they won't get a game and also players like Sharp and Maynard who will expect to play every game.

I think Best could be that player to come on and make an impact but he doesn't want to be seen as second choice to Rhodes.

Bowyer is looking for options and currently we don't have a big man who we can lump the ball to so I guess that's why he is bringing in Wilbraham.

I have no idea if he is any good but I'm not going to get in a flap over it because we have the best striker in the championship who is guaranteed a start if he is fit.

You must have been reading a different Palace board to me !

Yes they say he's not great at putting it in the net, but he has a great first touch and wins nearly everything in the air. oh and he works bloody hard too.

He could be a good tactic at some away venues, ie Turd Moor, Leicester etc,.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

It's not the end of the world because Campbell is proven and I don't think we would go down if Rhodes got injured.

But surely we can do better than this guy?

I haven't read their board. I was going by twitter and a Palace fan at work who called him a "sh*te version of Heskey".

If GB is indeed after this guy it must be based on tactics not scoring prowess,could be good in some games, but agree Campbell will always get

his share in this league.

After some of the lazy sods we've had lately, maybe I'm just impressed when I read a few comments saying he works hard and

has an excellent 1st touch, I think my expectations have been lowered significantly in the last few years.

I must admit to preferring the old fashioned way. If we go for him, give him a chance playing for us, if he is shyte, get rid.
