Pieman 417 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 9 minutes ago, striker said: Agree Jutkiewicz top end of our budget, but exactly what we need IMO. As for attraction, hopefully Monk/Beattie may hold some sway. That said, no links so either Monk/Beattie have different a different opinion of him or Birmingham not open to offers. Probably not on the best of terms with them anyway given the protracted acquisition of Beattie. I don’t believe he is available, unless someone offers more than he is worth. I hope we have stopped doing that. Chris Martin is available and would be an asset to our squad, even though we are heading towards a more dynamic/pacy team. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Having a target man making it stick allows the pacey lads a chance to get there 7 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s like I say we might be able to pick up a quick mobile centre forward on the continent, but that’s my hope, I have no real idea whether we can or not. We’ll have to wait and see I guess Link to post Share on other sites

I hope not yesterday showed only being a friendly that we can pass it about and it's the way we want to play for me it's nice to have other options available if needed 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I thought yesterday showed a real blue print to go forward with. Rhodes did ok. He isn’t a target man and does llack upper body strength. As we know, he comes alive in the box, which didn’t happen yesterday. My issue with Rhodes (for years) is his passing. He just isn’t an accurate enough passer, which was very evident yesterday. On at least 4/5/6 times yesterday, he won the initial contact and then over hit the pass. This part of his game is so disappointing. Edited August 30 by Pieman Link to post Share on other sites

Mick70 148 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Kranky fell out with jukewitz at boro and bombed him out to brum, posted couple of weeks back thought his time at br would probably be up? Re at lot hope we have the funds for him imo exactly what we need , would love a big mobile pacy target man but they come at top end premium? That nsame looks just what we need but can’t see us paying any more than 1/2 m for anyone atm Link to post Share on other sites
