    Center forward

    How bad do we need one, and who should it be.
    Has anyone heard anything.
    Because he has strenthened the midfield. But i think we also need more up front

    Badly. As has been stated elsewhere, we need a target man / penalty box striker. In fact anyone who can play with back to goal. Who fits the bill?
    Kyle
    Sammon
    Etc

    Steven Thomson has been spoken about. I think someone like him would be ideal to bring deek into the game.

    We need another striker - as presently the goals/contribution from Nish/Trakys/Duffy isn't good enough!

    We need one desperately, unfortunately there isn`t many about to my knowledge.
    I would exchange Riordan for Thompson at Burnley, i think if Deeks isn`t re-signing for whatever reason this would be a good swap that would suit all parties.

    You missed out riordan, he's hardly tearing it up.

    If you swap our one player capable of finding the net with a big target man then who is the big target man bringing into play or flicking on to or holding it up for????

    Easy tiger, i`d rather Riordan stayed but for whatever reasons it doesn`t look likely, you`ll probably find that Thomson would get his fair share of goals and assists in the SPL, he would probably link up the play a lot better and add a much better balance to the team in general, others would also benefit from his presence, the likes of Duffy and Kurtis Byrne, he might also bring Galbraith, Booth and Towel into the equation, maybe even Adam Rooney!

    Nish has shown that although he is tall enough he is far too easily pushed off the ball. He has been pilloried for it over and over a again, so it can't be a tactic to win free kicks. Trakys had one superb game, on a night when the whole team was superb. Not sure we need someone techically gifted or even prolific, if he can at least set the up for others. Vernon at Aberdeen is a good example. Not easy on the eye but effective.

    And may give us a threat or an option at free kicks and corners, we can`t rely on Deeks to keep popping them in from 25 yards+

    I've always advocated a "big man, wee man" up front - a la Gordon/O'Rourke, Toshak/Keagan.
    The "big man", of course, should be strong and good in the air and the "wee man" should be very nippy.

    Put the right forward beside him and he will.

    To sign four players and not one a striker is criminal.

    If I heard two weeks ago we'd be signing four players, I'd have expected a target man and two CBs to be amongst them.

    I'm happy we've signed midfielders, but anybody can see where our biggest problems lie. Apart from CC?
