    We have been speaking to him for over a week, so my guess is we do need a striker :)
    Bowyer is good at mind games. Tell the press we do my need a striker to keep striker talks under the radar

    As I said before, Wiredu has to be wondering if he's invisible

    Why is he good enough to be our 2nd choice right back?

    He’s only recently returned from injury. He also didn’t make much of an impact at Colchester last season, and right back isn’t necessarily his best position.

    They may well be looking to send him out on loan to the National League where he can get a long run of games, something they’d have hoped Colchester were going to give him.

    The problem u have with frees atm, is convincing players to sign for 2.5 bags when they have been on min 7
     Any idea what position we're looking for @Redhenry

    All I know we were talking to a free striker who played in Greece last season
    Bright Enobakhare 
    That would have potential to be a great signing.
    I'm not rubbishing it, but how so... I've never heard of him, so educate me if I'm wrong, his record is shite

    Bright Enobakhare has a goal a game record in Athens.



    He played one game.

    Having watched all the under-23 home games & some away games before lockdown, i don't think Wiredu once featured at right-back. Johl Powell played in that position for the second half of the season & did quite well but he is really a midfielder.

     Freddie Barton plays there for the U23's these days does he not?

    Because we don't need a striker do we !
    Well we've got four... I dont think a Free Transfer Striker is going to be the answer at this stage
    Well we have four people that we expect to be up front at various times but do you honestly think that any of them are going to be consistent goalscorers ? I imagine there are a few out of contract strikers available who we were unable to afford before the transfer deadline who would do a much better job than those that we currently have that now might lower their wage demands to fit into the wage cap as 2.5 k a week might be preferable to zilch.

    Josh Clarke was released by Wigan before the deadline so is available again.

    God that is so depressing. Manager admits none if his FOUR strikers will get 20 goals this season but he is HOPING that they might get into double figures.

    But don't worry we aren't looking to strengthen there but out on the right instead. 

    Ooh aah might as well give up with his "top 6" prediction thingy.

     I don't think he can really say for sure either way golfie.

    We relied on Taylor, grant and aribo to score most of our goals two years ago. 50 between them? Individuals will score less but will be spread more this time around. Doughty and Maddison should push close to double figures, plus the 4 attackers getting rotated, they should have 50 goals between them

    Bowyer is keeping the pressure off his strikers. He has now told the world that Aneke is his number 9, and he hopes he gets 10 goals.  

    If Aneke stays fit(big If) I believes Chuks could score a goal every 2.5 games.

    If Aneke can play 35 out of 46 games he scores 14 goals.

    You might as well give up with your 'Being a Charlton Fan thingy', It must be boring being this negative.

    Bowyer is a realist, what do you want him to say?

    'Yeah I expect Aneke to get 40 and Bogle 29, no pressure lads.'
    Yeah, my bad for wanting a striker to score goals.

    Yeah and that means what exactly ?

    He has missed 2 games due to injury and our top scorer currently has 2 goals.

    But Maddison cant make that up according to you, you really do have some weird thoughts lol.

    Personally I dont think he will be out top scorer but nothing to do with hin missing a couple of games injured, more because he is more of the assist man for me

    It means that the previous poster reckons that out top goal scorer will be someone who is currently out injured.......and we all know what our medical team is like.

    Once Maddison is out on the pitch & starting to score goals then I might agree with him/her.....but until then it's all a bit of a moot point. Difficult to score from a sick bed.

    Also doesn't say much for our current strikers that someone who has played just 10 mins this season & not a striker will score more goals than them.

    Tell me the striker we could've signed, taking into account cap space, transfer fees and everything else that you can confidently say would score 20 for us this season.

    Bright has bundles of talent, but has the baggage to match it as well. Very slim chance I reckon

    I was trying to label the point that even our manager doesnt think our strikers are good enough to get the "magical" 20 goals this season.....but he is hoping (emphasis on the word hope) that they will get into double figures.

    Gee whizz.

    And that could be a reasonable response if he was moaning about investments, however he hasn't once mentioned them(well not on this thread, he may have done on another thread)

    You however have been moaning about strikers, so name one.........

    Given how late in the window we had to do our business and with the handicap of the wage cap, I don't believe it was ever remotely possible to sign a 20 goal a season striker. Seeing as fairly often there are no 20 goal strikers in league one (there was only one last year), and with the other constraints it's totally unrealistic to expect us to find one, and bemoaning the lack one of want smacks of looking for something to moan about. Might as well go complain that you didn't win the lottery this week and the unicorn you requested to come shit gold on your lawn never arrived.

    I haven't been moaning about our strikers (not today at any rate)......LEE BOWYER has.

    Try actually reading what I write & to what it was in response to. I didnt come on here to slag any particular player off, I simply commented on something OUR manager has said about our strike force.

    I really hate the way people pick on me & try to make me out to be the bad man.

    You can all fuck off. I'm out.

    Actually my take on that comment was positive. Four strikers getting 48 goals between them would be rather good.

    Just saying.
