"We are looking for some other options as well, but then again if the strikers who can come on loan are not that good there is no use in bringing in a striker."
I like the emphasis on the scouts at the end, the network we have for scouting may well give us that edge, come January, that we don't rely on picking up has beens or overpriced junk.
“I want to sign a striker as well but at this moment I think the strikers who are available are too expensive or are not good enough to strengthen our squad.
“If you bring in a striker then you need to take your time and look at the striker whether he is good enough to come and strengthen us at this moment.
“We are looking for strikers, there is no doubt about that.
“We are looking for some other options as well, but then again if the strikers who can come on loan are not that good there is no use in bringing in a striker.
“It is better to wait until January and let the scouts do their work to get in a good striker.”
So, reading between the lines, it looks like Bob wants to bring in a striker maybe?................

Striker, in The Sun.
What???? Is Nick Jarvis(?) back in the Sun. I used to love that when it first appeared. Used to nick my workmates paper everyday to read it and when he left, I forced myself to start buying it, just for that comic strip (and a quick peep at the boobies). Stopped buying the rag the day after they parted ways with Striker.
I remember the ponytailed french ponce, Fabien and the big simple lump at the back (Grimshaw?)
Anyways, Flashback tangent going off topic..................... :-/

Nick Jarvis, the poor mans Roy Race the Melchester magician
"Either too expensive or not good enough" Not sure how a decent striker can be "too expensive " if we start sliding down the table if we can't secure wins this month. I think CAFC and Staprix needs to be guided by the market to secure the last couple of pieces of the jigsaw. The latest FFP changes suggest it will be cheaper to push on now rather than wait.
Things are bound to become a little easier in Jan when we can actually buy outright and other clubs have movements in and out. Lets face it, we're not yet up to a promotion challenge as a squad. We've made huge strides from last year, but I'm sure we can wait for 2 more months before investing in further improvements.

I think it's back in there. Not sure Jarvis is still around though. Anyone?
made me think of that classic line in airplane where the chap keeps going 'striker, striker, striker' in an attempt to get Ted Striker's attention and then that woman gets hit. great film

Is there a Belgian forward called Vesta ?
you must mean Swan Vesta, pronounced 'Svan Festa' .. he'd be an ideal match for Vetokele
Come on bob. You & the scouts have had months to line up the right players. What happened to the 2 we were prepared to buy on deadline day but ran out of time...we're all expecting a new striker, center mid & left winger on 1st Jan. Don't let us down big man!

We didn't run out of time, the parent Clubs pulled the plug. I believe that terms were agreed with both players.
I know he is not a striker but a right winger but watching the spurs game and a Belgium u21 lad is looking very good since coming on. Ziguy Badibanga is his name. Very attacking

let the scouts do their work to get in a good strikerloan one in from Standard Liege.”Agree with this 100%
I like the emphasis on the scouts at the end, the network we have for scouting may well give us that edge, come January, that we don't rely on picking up has beens or overpriced junk.
Shame, so he's on loan at?

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet claims several Sky Bet Championship clubs have expressed an interest in taking Danny Graham on loan.
There are plenty of Championship clubs looking at him. Plenty. But I think everyone needs to be happy.
I still think we might be in for him

Someone moving on, not on this forum please.
