Would love to see us get in a big target man up top,
We have no Ariel threat and with almo and green putting in crosses they are wasted,
Years ago samba played up top when at Blackburn and he did a great job.
Not so sure he can do it now though!
We have more than enough mid/ fielders but without kodija we struggle,

I'm not so sure I agree. Crosses into box I think we are fine in the air.
I think hogan will surprise a few this year, and I think he is underestimated in the air.
Also kodja is great in the air. if, and yes it's an if, they could get an understanding. I think all basis are covered.

The problem we have is if we go long, as in the ball over the top. I think we struggle with a guy to hold the ball up. Personally, I hope we don't need to go long. I detest this desperate style of football!

Would you like to have a dion Dublin or a Peter withe up top?
I know I would.
Then with Hogan to feed of there flick òns

would be a real threat imo,
You don't need to play long which I hate as well but it's a option now and again,
Some think we don't have now,

I don't disagree. I'm just saying that what we have if we play to their strengths should rip this league apart.

What you forget, before Dion signed we all thought he was crap! Used to be a figure head in our song! "If Dion plays for England, so can I.! "
However, that was soon forgotten when he showed his worth in a villa shirt!
Give hogan a chance. trust me, he is what we need.

What about crouch? Him with either kodija or hogan playing off him.

Thoughts.

I hope gabby and McCormack go . not entirely sure about a target man as there aren't many options out there presently.

Do matteo was interested in Hernandez from Hull . Maybe if he is available we should have a look at him .

Bruce seemed to get the best out of him and he is over 6ft so could be an option.
