I would have liked to have seen Alex Battle given a chance in one of the senior games. I seem to recall that he scored a couple in pre-season last year. Just a feeling that he's got that in his game. If he's good enough he's old enough!!

The No 9 we need.... (merged)
- Thread starter PL2 Pilgrim
- Start date
I don't see why Joe Mason would be out of the question. He is out of favour with Wolves and needs game time and goals. Surely a loan deal for him would be hugely beneficial for both parties.
Michael Smith - Pompey "boo boy" available as they apparently have a surplus of forwards!! (Not a rumour more of a possibility.)
As for Joe Mason, surely just wishful thinking like Ollie Watkins from up the road,still plenty good enough to be in the Championship.

I would have taken a punt on former Colchester striker Chris Porter now at Crewe. He has had a good couple of seasons at Colchester United before his move although he is 33. I also rated the guy who played for Leyton Orient last season at Home Park and gave us trouble all evening. Can't remember his name now or if he still plays for them.
I think we need to get the likes of Lavery back, then we'd be going places. Really speaking if we have this million still to spend then let's get a decent target man and get the season on course early. The other player I'd think of would be the lad Wheeler from Exeter. Or maybe look at the Championship for a fringe player willing to come here for a year to get first team football... but whatever Adams and Brent do about the striker crisis we need this to happen quickly before games go by and we are struggling in the bottom six. We dont need a start like that.... and if we continue to struggle to score we will...

Calm down dear.
We do NOT have £1m, it has been spent.
We ARE likely to get the number nine shirt filled, but I expect it to be a youngster from a Premiership or Championship side, who will only release nearer the end of the transfer window.
Patience, my dear, patience.
As disappointed as I am that Adams hasn't bought in the players we've known we've needed for literally weeks I'm trying to be positive. I'd have to say that I think it's better to know that we need a striker and know that Adams is aware of the need (I think we might even need more than one in reality), than be in a position where, for example, we've already signed all of our strikers but they're all crap
It probably comes down to money- and argyle are on a tight budget. I'm sure they will sign someone soon- although Adams only plays with one target-man striker and Taylor has the starting shirt assuming he is fit.
Most Argyle goals come from the players just behind the main target man. Kennedy didn't feature for Cardiff yesterday and we know he can hit the net. I thought he was excellent last year.
