Why Look For A Target Man; when we dont have real wingers......?

We've been linked with pavlyuchenko, Huntelaar, Janko, Boyd etc.

All these players need good supply from out wide to be effective, but we play with a narrow 4 in midfield, and very rarely use the flanks. SO if we are going to buy these players then we need 2 wingers, which will cost alot of money. and if we do buy the likes of babel, mcgeady, pavlyuchenko then we're going to have to play alot more open and leave ourselves exposed.

I know Big eck wants to move us to the next level, but i feel one inapropriate change for exaample swapping pavlychunko with jerome, then i feel this would go against us, as hes work rate is poor compared to jeromes, and he doesnt cause as many problems for defenders.

If its not broken then why fix it?

You don't need out and out wingers to put balls into the box..Seb, Faddy, Carr, Ridgewell can all do it in my opinion. And then there's set-pieces.

1. We're after a winger anyways

2. Larsson, Bowyer, Ferguson, McFadden, Ridgewell and Carr all can put a good ball into the box... theres just rarely anyone in the middle for it.

3. When we're away and we need to retain possession and need the ball to stick upfront when were under a bit of pressure, a target man can bring that composure and calmness to keep it, and wait for support to join him.

4. The nippier striker playing off a bigger lad works well IMO... Heskey and Rooney... Heskey and Owen... Defoe and Crouch

Posted before but nobody responded...

12mths ago Eck tried to change the dynamic of the side with Bouazza and Sinclair..

This season if reports are true it is Babel and Mcgeady..

As for the Target man that player would still need to be mobile and technically good..check out Mclesih's comments about jerome coming back looking for the ball..its not his game with his poor control and lack of vision.

We don't know for certain that Mc'Leish is looking for a 'Target Man'! This thread is under-pinned only by the Transfer Talk! :copno:

Ryan Babel is not a 'Target Man' in his natural position he takes himself into a central forward position through the middle, the Raffagaffa forced him wide which is not working for him! :banghead:

If we imagine Babel in that role at Blues with Jerome and Benitez in support up front, the all Alex Mc'Leish needs to do is inject new and fresh talented young blood (Michel, Gnahore and Gardner) into our mature midfield!

In respect of the so-called 'Target Man'

HAVE YOU SEEN HIM DO OR SUGGEST ANYTHING ELSE...? :copno

KRO :Blues:
