jimsleftfoot Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I notice in recent press comments we are no longer looking to sign a "star striker", just a "striker" now!! In a few days it will be just a "ker" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) I was speaking to an ex players agent last night and apparantly in his words " Oldham havent got a cat in hells chance of signing a star striker" , the wages we are offerering are way below what any decent striker wants Edited July 27, 2011 by razza699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancy lad Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Oli Johnson? any good? or in the "ker" bracket? Looked very good at County when Gannon was there, scored at our place I seem to remember. Didn't he got to West Brom? What you heard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDHAM4ALWAYS Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Whoever the striker is, Paul Dickov will only sign someone who wants to play for the club and not just pick up his wages and sit in the reserves.Paul I am sure will get the right man eventually I have no doubt. The players these days have to yearn and earn for the right to be in a Latics shirt and long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that our search for a 'triker' or a 'ker' has not gone so well, so PD has gone back to looking for a 'star'.

Stitch_KTF Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 who it was , why we didnt get them , why were they so confident to post 2 articles about it ? It was Clayton Donaldson and Cody McDonald. We didn't get them because we're skint, but Dickov had a bash at charming them anyway. Perhaps the articles were an attempt to secure additional season ticket sales and funds to facilitate this marquee signature. Marketing, I think a few on here call it...

I know we're stuck for money, but I didn't think we'd be reduced to doing this to get players here... I mean, surely we should leave that to the players wags...

butchcass Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Seeing as we seem to have hit a bit of a wall with regards to getting a new striker in, is it worth making a cheeky enquiry to Leicester with regards to getting that young Jeffrey Schlupp character in on loan? Apologies if he has already been suggested on here. I don't know much about him but I was thinking this... Good things: - He scored a couple last season on loan at Brentford - He scored a hat-trick t'other day in the Carling Cup so he obviously has his shooting boots on this season too - There is the obvious Leicester connections. I think he may have been twittering or tweetering (or whatever) with Jim Wes and Alex Cizak in the last couple of weeks - He's got pace - He's got a great name Possible bad things: - I read somewhere that Sven hasn't decided yet whether to let him go out on loan this season or not, although they are still making bids for other strikers (e.g. that idiot Beckford)and if Leicester carry on with the way they are going, results wise, Sven himself may be off soon anyway. - He/they could probably get better offers elsewhere. Brentford (where he was last season) have already demonstrated that they can outbid us by signing Mr Donaldduckson (who allegedly 'pimped' himself out to every club in the football pyramid before accepting the biggest offer he could get) - He may want a Championship club if he does go out on loan - He is just a kid Just a suggestion.

jimsleftfoot Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 false hope Cody Mc is yet to sign for someone and he's not in Norwich's 25 man squad for the Prem, no one will pay the £600k or so Norwich wants and he's not going to accrue much value in the stiffs, who knows????

Lags Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Listening to Latics World PD interview today it would seem whoever this new striker target PD was hoping to have in place 2 games back as gone the way of all the others. Sounds like even he is getting pissed off with the non arrival of a striker. He stressed it's not down to lack of trying and that he has the clubs backing to land one. So what's the problem then? have Latics become so unfashionable even a striker without a club and pay days don't want to be here. Or is it the money we can offer?
