I get what you are saying but we had 4 on the books almost constantly last season. Cooke, Mullen, NBM, Jackson Then replaced NBM with Nazon Most squads will go with 4 strikers on their books at this level, I feel. If you go with 3 and lose one you're in a bit of bother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Obika's goal return isn't too convincing but fingers crossed he can do a job for us. If he gets into double figures in the league I'll be both shocked and delighted (same for Mullen and Cooke had the latter been fit). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Goodwin quoted as saying ideally he'd like another three. If/when Obika and the guy from Hull sign we still need another striker, leftback and centre half as a minimum and ideally another winger unless that's where Djorkaeff is playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We realistically need another 4 or 5 after those two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Sanchez Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Loving the Obika highlights reel. Good left peg, looks a strong presence in the box, good in the air. I must not get carried away by a youtube clip. I must not get carried away by a youtube clip. I must not get carried away by a youtube clip. I must not get carried away by a youtube clip. I must not get carried away by a youtube clip. FUCKING LOVE THE BIG GUY ALREADY..! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumpweed Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Obika is a good signing for you. Better than Nazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah Cole Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 If Obika and McLoughlin are confirmed, IMO we could still do with a left back, centre half, wide player and striker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 2 minutes ago, Jeremiah Cole said: He says were light in the “forward areas” Another wide player like Kyle McAllister could be one of them IMO Inclined to agree, I think it'll be two more strikers (including the boy from today, assuming that's a done deal) and a winger. Surprised to see McAllister away to the Netherlands this week; was hoping he'd be signing for the weekend, if he is indeed coming. Nightmare if he tears it up for their juniors (whatever age group it is) and catches the eye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malky3 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, djchapsticks said: Jonathan Obika signing from Oxford Utd on a 2 year deal. Is that confirmed? If so I'd have pretty strong reservations about it. He's been out for 8 or 9 months with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. I think I'm right in saying that since he got injured in October 2018 he's only played in two or three friendly matches as a trialist - for Stevenage and for Cambridge United. I don't think he's been injury prone in his career but this is a particularly bad one to come back from and throwing him in against Hibs, Aberdeen and Rangers, and then a match on a plastic pitch at Livingston doesn't look wise. He's had a decent career, 1 goal in 5 in his career isn't bad. It's just this injury would worry me.

Saint Shug Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Understand the concerns over players who have had previous knee injuries but It’s not all doom and gloom, Darren McGregor suffered the injury twice with us and Harry Davies turned out no bad after his as well 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be on a good wage though. One of only a handful of striking options for Goodwin. For me this is a huge gamble. It might pay off. His highlight reel looks good - they always do though - but that injury - it worries me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is 1 goal every 5 games not a pretty poor return for a striker? 7-8 goals in an SPL season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
