I am sure we are still looking but after a few of Laudrup's comments does he think we need one?. I however think we need one with all the fixtures this season. | |

With the abundance of midfielders perhaps Michu is the second striker. | |

john guidetti would ideal.
Obviously things are going on behind the scenes and after all the media hype throughout the summer i think it's better for it to stay that way and for the new signing to be announced when he's actually holding the shirt. | | | |

Bony didn't seem to move a lot the other night....he probably doesn't need to being so strong on the ball and hving such good finishingbut it would be nice to have a pacy striker.
any names being thrown around? | | | |

I'm being serious,if we don't bring in another player we've got the best squad we've ever had which should do us well. | |

Laudrup will either bring in a second striker from outside the club, or he will use Rory. | | | |
| Second Striker talk gone quiet on 11:24 - Aug 3 with 6694 views | Dull1Thomas |
Could be - Spain are doing well on the 'no recognised striker / traditional centre forward model.
And it worked for us when we had Borini and Sinclair playing as old fashioned inside forwards. | |

he's certainly "different" to what we have in the 1st team squad atm, but i dont know if they consider him to be a bit lightweight for the top division yet, despite the great preseason he's had | | | |

Closer to the end of the window it will be obvious which players are available for loan in the big clubs. Also some players might go on sale as clubs get desperate to offload them.
Laudrup might also want to know if Williams and Michu get sold before making his last dealings (middle of August). Dyer's contract situation also needs to get resolved. And I wonder if players like Ki, Taylor, Dyer, who seem to be second choice, will request transfers.
I think a second striker is definitely still on the cards. Additionally players like Ince, Granero, Mubarak could come in play depending on what happens, like who leaves and how desperate their clubs want rid. [Post edited 3 Aug 2013 11:47]

Donelly has impressed in pre season. He may get a chance in cups.
I think Laudrup is just waiting now, to see who becomes available on loan and/or to see if anybody needs money so drops their asking price to something we'd consider acceptable.
I don't see Ince as a possible. Too expensive for what he is.
Dyer looked a bit more lively Thursday. Maybe he'll raise his game again. Then none of us will want him to leave. He's a tricky wee man!! | |
| |
| Second Striker talk gone quiet on 11:51 - Aug 3 with 6588 views | LaudrupFan |
I agree.
But about Ince. How long does he have left on his contract? I was thinking maybe Blackpool want to get rid in this window to cash in before it's too late?
If Dyer does not renew his contract soon, I would understand he was sold to another club. Not renewing is like saying he does not want to stay. | |
| |
| Second Striker talk gone quiet on 11:55 - Aug 3 with 6557 views | Catullus |
I agree with the not renewing part. Make him a reasonable offer and give him a time frame to think about it or renegotiate. If we can't agree, sell him. The club must always come first.
But I'd still love to see him stay and get back to past glories!! | |

ML said in his post match interview he expected one more. When things calm down I expect him to pick the best of what's left, probably on loan. I suspect It'll have to be someone who's happy with splinters in his arse though. I'm as relaxed as can be with what we have. Even my old dad (91) who took me to my first match in 1969 but doesn't really have much interest watched us on thursday and, for just about the first time I can remember, phoned me up to just say, 'F**k a Duck, what was that, Real f***ing Swansea'!!. | |

Bring back shecter | | | |
| Second Striker talk gone quiet on 12:00 - Aug 3 with 6522 views | dameedna |
1 Bony
2 Michu
3 Donnelly
for an extra striker if Michu or Bony or Donelly are not around I already have my eye on a midfielder and up front either Sheley or Pozuela
i think Huw will wait and start the season | | | |
| Second Striker talk gone quiet on 12:02 - Aug 3 with 6515 views | airedale |
Yeah, and Shefki Kuqi as well. [Post edited 3 Aug 2013 12:02]

Pozuelo could be an option too. He played as a striker in his early career: as a false 9... | |

My guess is he's waiting on other teams to sort themselves out. Possibly after a striker on loan from a club that's going through managerial changes? Then once we know who's available, we can go for them. As someone else mentioned maybe it depends on who (if any) leaves our squad, also. | |

I think this is the case, Laudrup said something about waiting for big clubs to finalise their squads and seeing who becomes available. | |

Michu upfront in emergencies only please.

3. Donnelly | |
