Pete, no one is in dispute as to who we need., the problem is that there are so few forwards out there to get

for example would you want Dindane ?

Keane has to be off, the things is who to, no way would Levy allow Gudjohnsen on high wages to join without Keane leaving

PB said: “We are back where we were 12 months ago with Gabby burned out, Carew injured, Delfouneso unproven and Heskey being Heskey”.

Although I agree keane would be good, at least on a loan (but isn’t going to happen), how can you say Fonz is unproven! He has scored almost every time he has started, was top scorer in the u19 international tournament last summer – what more is there to prove?

I am also fast coming to the conclusion that Ash is more of a striker than a winger and a more intelligent striker than Gabby (which is not hard) and Albrighton potentially a great winger with both speed and great ball play and crossing.

Finally, and I can hardly believe I am saying this, I think Heskey is coming good, don’t get me wrong he is not a natural goal scorer but he is a great goal maker, did I really say that ahhh but IMO it is true as much as it hurts me to say it.

There is a desperate need for a striker Ian. No point in buying an unproven, needs to be someone with a proper track record. As you say, Keane would be ideal, but Redknapp isnt so stupid as to sell him to us mid season. We are back where we were 12 months ago with Gabby burned out, Carew injured, Delfouneso unproven and Heskey being Heskey. People keep telling me we learned our lessons from 12 months ago?

the chances would come with a quality player, he would turn crosses into goals, that is where we miss Carew but god knows when he will be back

can not see us buying anyone so Keane on loan for me is the only feasible one given they now have 5 forwards

I think Keane would be awesome at Villa, But in all honesty what are the chances!
We definetly need a proven striker if we want top 4.
