singe Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Chron alludes to this, depending on movement out of the club and Bolton deciding on whether it would be useful in his development... Whilst I know a lot of us said never go back, we are lacking a little on the options up front. especially with Feeney away on Internation duty. I'd reconsider it now, in the cold light of day.

PlayItLivo Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 No thanks, if we need another striker we should go for someone with experience. We don't want the responsibility of having to play Eaves to get game time. Bolton won't want to send him out to sit on the bench, they'll want assurances he'll play, we might as well play Bembo, Crompton, Kelly and eventually Brooke and develop them if we're trying unproven youngsters. We have Tounkara as well. I'm all for us getting another striker, but it should someone with experience as we have enough young strikers trying to prove themselves.

Out of all the experienced strikers we've had in on loan over the last three or four years, only one* has truly improved the team and that was Leon Clarke. The rest have been a bunch of money-grabbing wasters, looking for a cruise back to fitness. Whilst I think an out and out goalscorer would be nice. I'd rather take a punt, let's be honest most 'experienced' loanees flop. Brett Ormerod Darren Byfield Dean Windass Steve Kabba Paul Heffernan Daniel Nardiello All proven goalscorers and all did pissall at BP... *I've discounted Lewis Guy, as whilst his contribution was admirable he is by all accounts a winger.

oldhamandy1 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I agree that we are short on numbers up front but taking away the hat trick against Bolton in pre-season Eaves is still without a first team goal so I don't know if he would be worth bringing back. If Dickov does bring him back though I'll trust his judgement after he's the won with goalscoring expirence in the Premierleague and had a good look at Eaves during pre-season so knows more about him than I do.

opinions4u Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 He might as well play in Bolton's reserves. No disrespect to the lad, but there's no way he's guaranteed a start at BP. Whatever the outcome, I still hope he's a rip-roaring success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think Dickov is interested in playing a target man, he wants the ball along the floor, one of the reasons he shipped Abbott out was supposedly he didn't "fit in" with Dickov's "style of play". And we do have Tounkara who is big enough to be a target man, the jury is still out on him but his finish at the weekend was exquisite. I still think Hume is a decent striker, worth a short term loan. It's not like he'd have to travel very far either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
