Samuel Eto'o

[Elong]

I thought he played pretty well when he got a chance as a striker.

what a poor memory you have then not to remember last year.

Lukaku went down last year? Damn. I must have slept through the whole season. Pardon me...

 

[Christiffa25]

Hmmm I get the feeling we won't see another striker in to replace him this Jannuary, more than likely will wait till the summer and go with Rom and Kone, with Naismith and even Miralass as the back up and Emergancy options.

Makes me optimistic tho that Roberto has a really good winger/wide player up his sleeve to treat us with. If we did sign such player, Ross and naismith would be just fighting it out for the central role.

Andre Shurlle anyone? Haha I wish!!!

Gutted that he's leaving now tbh. I think he could have been a massive influence in the remainder of our EL campaign and for that alone he'll be a big miss. Quality footballer and a pleasure to see in the shirt.

Lukaku goes down and it is the worst striker situation we have had in forever I can remember...very poor squad management.
I haven't read through he details but can we make him stay until the Summer?

It's definitely not the worst striker situation we've had. A few years ago we had Fellaini playing up top on his own due to injuries.
Also, I'm sure I remember years ago we had right back(?) Steve Watson playing as a striker.

For his influence I don't think he's worth 50-100k a week...

£55k per week is hardly extortionate these days, especially when were paying Kone nearly £40k ffs.

He could have notched a goal that might have been priceless to the clubs history in the EL, we'll never know now.

You have a short memory. I remember us having Cahill as our only striker.

Kone at least is actually a striker.

Of course if both are injured then we're fecked.

Conor McAleny should be pushing for a first team spot

Played a similar roll to what Eto'o has been playing when he played in the Europa league, seemed to be trying a bit too hard tho. Would be good to see what he could do if we give him some chances.

Oh yes. Great reminder. That was definitely a shocker. Happy to stand corrected!

Imagine how we felt last year at the World Cup in Australia as Tim as our only striker available!

Could have been worse. You forgotten about his hat trick?!

That chant was fun while it lasted

I'm sure the Kopites will have thought up a humerous chant by the Derby

"We've still got Lambert, you've sold Sammy Eto'o"

 

[marty mcfly]

If we're swapping him with a winger I'm happy.

Makes sense to get rid of the high rollers in preparation for the championship.
