Anyone else getting bored?

Bored - No, but a little embarrassed and concerned - Yes. It's not so much that it's bad to have a long list of strikers to target, or even that the list of strikers /not/ coming to us is increasing. However, any striker we go for now will know that they were quite a way down the list and won't be so 'inspired' to come here. (I doubt players always go with their heads when deciding on a club.)

Bored - no. Embarrassed or concerned - no.
We definitely need a good striker but I think a waiting game is being played here, the pressure coming on clubs hanging on to players as the end of the transfer window draws nearer. Also there may be a plan B to get a quality striker on loan after the end of the month.

You are right now fabricarse has gone. The premiership striker merry go round will spin like a top and i am sure Sven has know at least one of the targets won't come off till then

I can't help but wonder how many of these players we genuinely want.

We pulled out of the CMS deal, not the other way round. We decided we didn't want him.

I don't think Sven really wanted Miller, as no disrespect but why would he choose our red rivals over us?

Keane - I dont think Sven really wanted/thought he'd come.

Maynard - We could have had him weeks ago if we really wanted - Yes Bristol City are playing hardball, but if we really wanted him, we could offer them £7 mill + - No way they'd turn it down.

With our financial muscle, we could sign players like CMS, Maynard all day long - I can't help but think it's all a smokescreen, for a much bigger, better signing.

I hope I'm right with my last paragraph anyway!!

Not sure that there is a great deal we can do regarding the hype surrounding our club at the moment.

Yes our new owners are investing heavily in many aspects of the club at the moment and yes Sven has said he is looking for an out and out striker.

Put those two elements together = LCFC with money to spend and all of the journalists whether they be good, bad or indifferent can very quickly fill some column space linking anybody and everybody with us.

I firmly believe this is what is happening which can't be helping us in achieving Sven's ultimate objective of getting someone to fill the role he has clearly identified we need.

Frustrating for everyone - the Club, the fans, the potential targets and don't forget the likes of Howard & Waggy who at this moment in time do not know whether they are sticking or twisting!!

Not, bored just frustrated.

I know some will disagree with me but the Yak should have been signed by now then there wouldn't have been this circus around signing a striker now.

As for a striker not wanting to come here as SGE's 3rd or 4th choice, I personaly think that could work in our favour as they'll want to prove a point to the management and the fans. It could also have the same effect on Waggy 2 be fair!

I think you'll find its speculative journalism and ourselves, the fans, that are creating the circus.

With our financial muscle, we could sign players like CMS, Maynard all day long - I can't help but think it's all a smokescreen, for a much bigger, better signing.


Bit arrogant IMO

Sven said on TV. He was not really Interested in Miller.
I think a lot of it is paper talk. Just have to wait and see what happens.

Arrogant it is, but in this day and age, I'm not wrong am I?

You can't tell me that CMS opted for Brighton over us? We turned him down.

If we wanted to, we could offer Maynard £25k a week, and Bristol City a transfer fee of £8mill.

Can you see either party turning that down?

That was what I meant.
