Howard the Duck
Striker
I never understand this "we need a player to hold the ball up" shite. We simply need a striker who can put the ball in the net, must every player we go after be able to hold the ball up? I'm unsure why it's such a special gift. Lots of good players can bring the ball down and lay it off.
Davies was good a few seasons ago, he's lost the plot now, will have no sell on fee and is hardly going to get the fans racing back.
It's not shite. The entire way we are set up to play under O'Neill (and in fact all O'Neill teams) is reliant on a player up top who can hold it up and bring others into play. His teams need a focal point. This is the main reason we weren't as impressive in posession against P'Boro or Swansea in my opinion.
