With Forest rumoured to be interested in Vaz Te, the question arises, can we afford to let him go? He may not be Premiership class but he can play up front, and we have precious few players who can do that.
Allardyce may be bluffing of course, but he claims we are not going to sign anybody else, so as things stand we have an injured Carroll, an inadequate Maiga and Vaz Te, plus the promising but raw Lee.
The only other option is to play without a conventional striker, using Nolan, Morrison and Cole in the fashion that Everton used Felaini and Cahill. With Downing and Jarvis stretching the opposition down the flanks, this could be an exciting option, but it seems a very progressive formation for lump it long Allardyce to adopt.
Can Nolan lead the line? I don't see why not, and with Cole and Morrison running beyond him, defences may not know who to mark.
But for Cardiff it is likely to be Maiga. Let's hope he is up to the job!
I think ALLARDYCE knows exactly who he wants ,but he is hardly going to come out and state it.If VAZ TE leaves there is adequate cover in COLLISON and COLE on the wings.Can see DIARRA moving on and a deadline day deal done on a holding midfielder(loan),as I can't see him being content to play second fiddle to NOBLE .But the most important position needed is the cover for CARROLL which I think is a cert deadline day loan deal.If none are brought in ALLARDYCE will be playing a risky game relying on MAIGA to get those crosses,which is what the team has been set up for.
ReplyDeleteBig mistake. Let Noble go on a special instead.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sign that spam are going nowhere but down, and forest will replace them in the premier league
ReplyDeleteNot with vaz te they won't.
DeleteHF: from your POV who's the best pick for a fantasy football team from WH- Nolan or Morrison.

ReplyDeleteOh you've switched off the comments to comments - what a shame, I shan't return.
ReplyDelete1104 Nolan, because with one leg he is a guaranteed starter under Allardyce!
