skinnymate1690 665 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 walter wants to bring in a striker on loan but who knows whats gonna happen in the next 10 daysso there is a chance that we wont bring anyone in so who would you have as the lone striker out of who we have naismith lafferty beattie and i would include weissnaismith- would be my choice, is a good lone striker imo but can we sacrafice him from midfieldbeattie- could he last the full game ?lafferty - to inconsistant , but always gives 100%weiss - not his natural position but played well just off the striker has pace can hold the ball up and is trickyi would go naismith , if not then weiss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,776 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Someone tall presumably. To be able to get up in the air and win high balls against european defences is a must. Kenny Miller couldn't do this, and especially against Bursaspor . Naismith would be a good choice but I think it will be the ulster gazelle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgr1991 303 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Had enough of Lafferty tbh, I doubt he could play as a loan striker. Naismith for me, although Weiss would be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 3,009 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 What if we played a system which suited the players who were available, instead of shoe-horning them into unfamiliar areas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,446 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Id use Lafferty, he's played ok as a lone striker for N.Ireland when I've seen him, we don't have anyone suitable for a lone striker role so its the best of a bad bunch for the position imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueben_d 40 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Lafferty, he does actually hold the ball up well when he's not trying to do a wonder turn and end up like bambi on ice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Miller was awful at the lone striker role so i'm just glad we don't have to watch him attempt to play it any longerNaismith for me. The idea of just pumping long balls to Lafferty isn't appealling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie1807 146 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Naismith is the best suited to play lone striker, would we move him out of midfield though?I'd put money on it being Lafferty though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozblue 4,332 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Walter Smiths head would explode if he read this I fucking bet it would, but I'd virtually guarantee we've more chance of progressing in the Europa with any of these two systems than playing with a single striker up front with the personnel we currently have eligible to play in Europe.Unless he fancies his chances playing Beattie up front on his own.

double denim 29 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I totally agree, if the loan striker manages to win the ball in the air he's then got to chase his own knock down! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
