Get Rickie Lambert in.

[derfblade.3]

Would he join for a couple of months. Free agent and would plug a gap while the lads get back to fitness.
I know he's knocking on but he played in the championship last season with Cardiff.
I suggest this only if we are going to be without Bill, Don and whoever else for the next few weeks.

 

[Stretch]

I hoped that Donaldson would be back for the Derby and wasn't Clarke out for personal reasons?

Short term gap plugger, yeah, why not

 

[Harry's Game]

Its a no from me, he's had no pre season and would not be match fit, we saw what happened yesterday when we had only ten fit men.

If none of the three strikers are available next week I would start with Brooks and Samir interchanging in the false number 9 role, we can't go into a derby game with ten fit men.

 

[Slim Man]

That's not actually a bad shout he's certainly better than all but 3 of our strikers, fit or not.

You are always saying that there are better players at other clubs than the ones we have. Now you are saying that a player who didnt play much at Cardiff last season and is well short of match fitness, is better than the players we have! Pathetic!

Shut up you tool, I basically said he's better than our reserve options.

Put your dummy back in and grow up.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Beattie2. No thanks.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Beattie2. No thanks.

What's Beattie doing at the moment? Or Deane?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Brownies free. Not a striker but he once got twenty odd goals.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Peter Withe. Ian Rush.

 

[madeinsheffield]

It's a decent stop gap option if billy is going to be out for a while, I would have thought he'll be training with some club

 

[Kenilworth]

CCV might do a job up there.
Expected him to come on for Evans on Satdi until Baldrick replace Freeman. Could have caused them all kinds of problems for set plays and crosses.

Nathan Thomas put some quality balls into the box - but nobody in there.

Nah, get king Keith off the wireless and back on the pitch.

 

[mancunianblade]

Matty Fryatt, Leon Best, Ishmael Miller, Carlton Cole and Dexter Blackstock all without clubs too. All shite as well

 

[bladesrus]

Could be another Bobby Davison and to be honest if we're gonna be as short up front as we we're Saturday, I'd happily sign the original Bobby Davison for the one game.

 

[larkymasher]

He is more than likely less fit than Ched.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

He is more than likely less fit than Ched.

I'm fitter than Ched.

Not a bad shout about CCV. I said the same about bringing him on up front as a sub during the match on Saturday. He put the ball away at Bolton well and could cause havoc to an opposition defence with his size, strength and being an unknown quantity. He would certainly be fitter than an out of contract striker. Maybe a consideration to come off the bench on Sunday if wee are still short of fit strikers.

 

[madeinsheffield]

Surely we've got an U23's striker who could take his chances

now now, calm down big man

 

[Slim Man]

now now, calm down big man

What are you on about?

 

[Bert]

What are you on about?

Isn't that fairly obvious even to you?

 

[Slim Man]

Isn't that fairly obvious even to you?

How does that make me think I'm a 'big man'

He went over the top, called me pathetic so I gave him what for.

Is that not fairly obvious? Even to you? Or should you rename yourself 'berk' instead of Bert?

 

[I should coco]

I'd rather chuck CCV or one of the U23s up front. As previously noted, with no pre-season he would be a liability to our high tempo pressing game.

Signing aged strikers on big money is not the answer - think Beattie#2 or Bent#2.

 

[borbokis]

Where's hanson? I knew he'd been earmarked for a move but hes still with us is he not?

 

[Harrisblade]

I'm fitter than Ched.

Your ankle might be fitter than his

I wouldn't advocate offering him big money but when we're talking quite literally about whether a centre half who's played one league game would be a good option upfront surely Lambert is worthy of a short term low wages contract. If he won't accept low terms tell him to foxtrot.
