warnock is after a similar striker to becchio to rotate with him . mccormack ,somma and diouf will rotate in the other striker position . diouf may also be used in a less advanced position at times

It's just not true is it. He's already stated that he wants someone with pace, and if there's one thing Becchio isn't, it's pacey!

warnock said that he is after a striker incase becchio gets injured or stops scoring goals so surely he would want a similar type of striker its also to put pressure on becchio to perform so its probably as close to the truth as you can get

Rotating somma on the other side would b pathetic as when bec plays that would mean we were playing with 2 target men n none have pace so i dnt think this post is wise

I can reveal the striker that NW is looking at and who will join us in January is Johnny Russell

23 Dec 2012 14:39:09
No it isn't although i hope we sign him. The striker for Jan is going to be of a higher profile. Most likely is CMS.

I can reveal you are making it up

Are you the same guy who always mentions Russell. Are you his agent?

Crmd

He is on loan at Raith Rovers, not the high class signing we need, one for the future hmm maybe, maybe not. {Ed007's Note - No he isn't, he plays for Dundee Utd.}

Its either CMS or (if papers are to be believed) RL.
Either will do me fine although I'd say another attacking midfielder like LMcG and a left back will see us right for new year promotion challenge

Weren't we linked with him in the summer seen videos would be a good signing him and Gary mckay-steven

It doesn't make a jot of difference who they play for now does it really? Who did Snodgrass sign from?.. Livingston I think. Who did Beckford sign from?.. Wealdstone I think. I stand corrected on both of these but I know they were both very small teams but who cares. Everyone starts somewhere

We already have 4 decent strikers; if another one was to come then someone would leave. In the championship decent players do not want to be sat on the bench for long periods. I think Warnock is quite right when he says he would be happy to simply sign the loan players on permanent deals.

Its not Jonny its Jack! woof woof

The striker that Warnock will go for will have bags of pace. Thats why we sometimes get cut open at the back and we don't have that in are squad.

Best rumour of the lot ... Beckford, CMS, Lambert etc. Lets pick up an up and coming player for the future and who knows ... he could be even better than any of the others mentioned, or Rob Snodgrass ... plenty of talented players playing in the scottish leagues.

Agree to 2nd above, striker will be pacey and used from the bench.

anyone think emnes would be a good sighning

We don't need him . got becchio somma and mcormack . as good as anything in this league

No he was awful vs leeds. very overrated

Yes he his class good finisher very strong good in the air and good feet...i would love leeds to get him in

Daily fail linking us to Rickie lambert. Can't see it happening myself, but would be one of the best signings we'd of made in the last few years if it was to happen.

I know right, also states in that article that GFH totally bought us for £17M... thought the £52M figure has already been confirmed or thereabouts?

The 17M was for the November payment which bought GFH 33 percent they have now completed the deal for the remaining 67 percent as we all know. The paper is getting a little muddled up. If they got their facets right maybe people would buy the paper!

No it states that 17 million was the final payment.

They also said CMS would cost £1.5m judging that Brighton paid £2m for him I highly doubt it

This wud be a cracking signing but lets be honest he's been there top goal scorer last few seasons and he is aregular this yr so don't get your hopes up I think striker, left back and a quality right wing and keep the loan signing we will be where we belong MOT

Just because a piece of paper has "News" on it, afraid it now means "we will print any rubbish, without any foundation, and some people will be daft enough to believe it!"

Just ask yourself, why would Lambert want to join Leeds when he is currently playing in the Premiership, and if he did not want to stay at Saints, could move to any number of Premiership clubs? He is in his 30s so hardly interested in helping a club to promotion to secure a higher level of football.

And, by the way, he is the highest paid player at Saints, and still is working to try and get an England call-up.

Apart from these slight hiccups, the Daily fail is spot on! Suggest you start to spend your money on a more honest paper, and you might have half a chance of finding out some NEWS.

Would be a great signing but i would prefer CMS if it was one or the other.

We should have signed Lambert instead of barndoor billy when he was at bristol rovers

I actually spent 0p on the paper its facinating what you can find out on the internet. Plus this is a rumours site as far as im aware this post is a rumour together with my opinion. Chilling out would be a fantastic idea. Merry Christmas to all that are Leeds MOT x

You really think that is a "rumour"?

OK, "Saints to replace Lambert with Messi". That must now be a rumour also.

Rumours are different to fantasy, you know.

Happy Christmas.

Not a rumour, more like a suggestion - I think a realistic signing for the striker position would be Vaz Te from West Ham, thoughts?

He would be great but I dont think west ham would part.

Max gradel back feeding off becchio with diouf and thomas serving the goods would be like having strach speed wallace and chapman back a match made in heaven with rudy in the mix all we would be missing would be missing is a gary mac defence wise tait byram possibly pearce and a proper left back i think we have a decent side to get us out of this league

I would like to see beckford, Austin, wood or a striker from a forgein league someone who the division has no knowledge of. Lets see of we can find another becchio or somma

hes not bad from watford, matej vydra, hes banging the goals in

Vaz Te has been Allardyce's man for over a decade, in just the same way that Paddy Kenny is Warnock's.
Can't see him performing for anyone else.

Vas te has been allardyces man for 10 years? must hav been the 3 goals he scored in 7 years at bolton or his failed attempts in greece and the spl granted he was decent at west ham and barnsley, i wouldent waste too much money on him
