floyd__streeteArnie_Pie Have they flown back to pay whatever it takes for a proper Premiership striker like Defoe?
Here's hoping. Anyone who thinks that Pogrebnyak/Hunt/Roberts/Church is going to cut the mustard as a top flight strikeforce is utterly deluded.
Indeed quite an ommision in regards to Alfie. He's not exactly a Rob 'Hardly ever going to hit a barn door' Hulse is he. Alfie clearly has an eye for a goal, has shown it already in various leagues and there's no reason why he cant do it in the premiership. If a 'washed up' Holt from Norwich can impress then i think we owe some sort of loyalty to our top goalscorer from last season. The mixture of Pogrebnyak/Roberts/Alfie is a decent one and each have different attributes. Granted there are question marks over the impact of Hunt and Church and a 4th striker to add to the trio above would be fantastic but a little harsh on either Roberts or Alfie- if we end up with A Defoe fantastic but if Brian keeps the status quo then fair enough. I would be inclined to move Hunt on, a good servant and popular player but his lack of goals counts against him and he does go missing in games. Im no Fan of Church but Mcdermott clearly still values him and it might pay to have him involved and perhaps eat my own words about him. Personally I would like an option of creativity in midfield especially if we decide to go 4-5-1, someone like Koren.
