Guest Norbert Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Would he be available on loan? Surely other Premier league teams would be ahead of us. Miles ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salgado Is A Hero Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salgado Is A Hero Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 You sure? Soton spent a lot on Osvaldo from AS Roma .. 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 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Please not Wilbraham Maynard or Sharp would be ok ideas 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebruce Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 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.

G Somerset Rover Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Dailymail saying Wilbraham is coming in. He really IS that bad. Please anyone but him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mani Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 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 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted September 10, 2013 Backroom Share Posted September 10, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJRovers Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 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!

Salgado Is A Hero Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Palace fans really don't rate him. As in really, really don't rate him. What are we up to? (If he's coming). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers_rob Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 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,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salgado Is A Hero Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely we can do better than this guy? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
