This striker business - speculation

I thought Coventry had him

According to Wiki, he's still our player.

But having said that, according to them he never scored a single goal for Oldham and we all know that's bollocks.......

(I take it back - I was convinced he scored that hat-trick in a League Cup game but it turns out it was in a pre-season friendly. He's still rubbish though.)

Rob Earnshaw is still available. Proven goalscorer at this level.

Why is he still available then?

Unfortunately chances are that soon enough we will revert back to the good 'ol hoof ball.  For that you need a big man similar to the Juke.....preferably with some skill to boot.  Goalscorers need chances to put away...we don't create that many as of yet.  Let's say we get Mason back for example.....he may score from knockdowns in the box but who is doing the knocking down?  

Shame of it is that the side is not looking too bad right now but this paper thin striker situation will come back to bite us.

Rob Earnshaw is a fanny, we need someone with balls, he might be ok for Chorley but thats about it.

We need pace and goals. Earnshaw guarantees both. Plus we're lacking in hunks at the Macron right now.

Didn't we have the Earnshaw discussion 10 years ago?
And every year since?

Maybe I was wrong to dismiss him as a useless inconsistent greedy wanker long past his best (which was a Tuesday in 1989  as I recall)

Earnshaw in!

He certainly scares defences. And the crowd. And his own mum.

Burnley sign the the juke for £1.5mill, fucking Burnley!! I can't believe what's happened!
We uncover an unknown who becomes our best player of last season with the potential to become the new SKD, a leader by example who always gave 100%,
Was our no1 target, wanted to come back here, and we can't get the money to buy him, BWFC must be truly shagged
If they would give me my money back I'd take my season ticket back, short sighted knobs!!

Andy Johnson's available on a free. Massive risk fitness wise and he's 33 but this is the sort of player I'd imagine we'll end up with.

I'd be more than happy with him. He almost signed for us once before.

Have you moved on from Mark already....?

That's a bit shallow, isn't it?

At least do the decent thing and pretend you're not looking for your next conquest already......

You'd think she'd be happy with 2 wonky tits without adding a third.

I predict a riot!

When your boyfriend sells you to the Freak Circus you know it's time to end things.

Life goes on.

Didn't we end up with Anelka instead, the better option.

We'll never know if Johnson would have been better.

We'll know who the better player was though.

Dougie thinks Cravies will score goals for fun this season?

He loaned him to PNE last season WTF?

Looks like this bloke who was on trial is gonna cost us 600 grand....

And we can't afford it...

So how on earth did we expect to be able to sign juke?

The £600,000 is agent talk apparently I wouldn't worry about that. We obviously had the funds to pay a fee for Juke - at least initially. So there must be something available.
