New Strikers
Posted: Tue May 10, 2011 2:30 pm
After seeing the players released and the transfer list im guessing that we are going to be needing a few more strikers. Midson released, Green on the transfer list and what with Maclean, Doble and Hackney all gone back to their clubs it leaves us with only Constable, Craddock and Potter. And if Wilder keeps playing with the 4-3-3 formation surely we need at least 2 maybe 3 new strikers with one of them being a winger like Potter as im not a fan of him using ST for wingers.
I was just wondering who you would all like to see brought in?
I think that we need strikers who are recognised goalscorers in this league either last season or the season before and also someone who can finish their chances as thats what we lack up front sometimes. Obviously it would be hard to get any decent players from teams finishing above us as they would want alot of money and the players wouldnt be interested in leaving for us. Theres a few players who are out of contract or been released who i wouldnt mind seeing play for oxford:
Donaldson- out of contract and a proven goalscorer but im not sure would leave crewe for us unless we offer him decent money, and also a few clubs in higher divisions may be looking at him.
Thomas - 24 yr old who scored 19 goals for 17th place Cheltenham and is out of contract this summer, surely worth a look at and Oxford look more likely to finish higher next season than Cheltenham
Mckenzie- 10 goals in 27 games for Northampton and just been released so would be free, looked a pretty decent hard working player when i saw him but has had a few injury problems last season.
Omar Daley - not sure about him but just seen was released by bradford, score a few against us up there and looked quick and like he could trouble a defense running down the wing.
Some other players that may be worth payin a few quid for and may leave their clubs for us :
Fleetwood - 14 league goals for a struggling Hereford and looks like he finishes his chances which is what we need.
Corr - 18 league goals but not sure he would leave southend for us
Harrad - looks a decent player but only joined northampton in january so i doubt he would leave
Kabba/Mcleod - 11/14 goals for Barnet, and might be tempted by a bigger club coming in for them.
Marshall - little winger for barnet and really impressed me, looked simular to potter and i think we need another quick winger.
ANother player i noticed may be worth a look at and noone has noticed is Geohaghon, since being abused by the port vales fans has not played for them since, we need a big cb and surely he would be looking to move clubs so may be worth a look.
So what do u think to the players i mentioned and other other ones that u would like to see?
