Diego_Sideburns Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The rarely wrong Chron says DP will scour the loan market this week for a striker in Pav’s absence. DP is quoted as saying Pav is still in Germany and will be coming back the middle of this week, when we will have a better idea. “Initially it was going to be between seven and 21 days, though now we are probably looking at between four and six weeks. “We will have to have a sit-down to see where we are. “We will look at the assessment on Pawel and see how long he will be out for, see what we have in the building and then if we need to, try to go and get somebody.” http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-fea...-striker-search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember a worse season in terms of goals scored, apparently, the Leeds match was the ninth game in which we have failed to score this season...........It is obvious to everyone that we have needed another striker, almost from day one!!!!!

ghostofcecere Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm afraid it's not as simple as just getting a new striker, the striker needs service which is something we just aren't doing. We need to get quality service in there and not just hopeful hoofs from the back; time for some old fashion wing play if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 im not happy with how many loan players are going to be in the starting 11. shows we were ill prepared for this season. It might show that the budget is so tight that we are relying on freebies from a higher level. Could be wrong. Either way, your point looks reasonable.

oafcprozac Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) It might show that the budget is so tight that we are relying on freebies from a higher level. Could be wrong. Either way, your point looks reasonable. What's so mystifying is that we had injuries in pre-season but still let other players leave on loan. We did the same thing last season and none of the loanees we brought in - well arguably Jones (but we were more solid before he came) improved the team. Yet again we are relying on ONE striker like we have done for the last 15 years, its a joke and needs rectifying along with DPs strange tactics of not allowing Furman to cross the half-way line. We could have kept Allott to do that job. Yes, we've tightened up but at the cost of tedious impotent football, meaning one goal in four home games and only 7 in the previous 6 home games. Take it back to February (nowt todo with DP I know) and it is 12 goals in 17 home games, no wonder no one wants to come to games.

"freebies from a higher level" Give me players like :censored: over Joe Colbeck anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I thought we were skint then we shell out 60k on a League 2 reserve player. Just out of interest, where does it say we shelled out that amount of Colbeck? I thought he was only on a month-to-month deal with Bradford so paying that sort of cash seems incredible.

rudemedic Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 How many loan players are you allowed to field in a game? As if we get a loan striker in we would have 5 (GK, hills, :censored:, Blackman and other striker) and it seems like it might be against the rules to have half a team made up from players from other clubs. Yes we could perhaps do with another striker but personally I think Smalley, Blackman, Parker and Taylor could work well in combination going forward.

I believe that no more than 5 loan players can be on the pitch at any one time. Not seen enough of Blackman to know if he's a goal threat, but I'm not convinced the other three are going to bag 2 a game between them.

RoytonLatics Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 It was a big thing to turn it down, especially as I have been on a week-to-week contract since rejecting it. Not even month to month, I really think Penny lost his mind when forking out the cash for this deal, surely h would have been on a free come the end of the week. Madness!
