A 15 to 20 goals a season striker,now that Count is spending
more time in his own penalty box than the oppositions one.
And what do you think is the price of a 20 goal /season premiership striker.
Berbatov is by far the best we can expect to have at Fulham, we must simply make te best possible use of him by ensuring his support players are up to scratch.
A fifteen - twenty goal striker is what all teams want, but finding one is difficult as most who can do it only do is for a few short years and never do it again. For example Dempsey will never have a season as good as the last one. Look for natural strikers in the lower divisions of Europe is the best bet.
A guy at Swansea cost them 2 million,how many goals has he scored.
There out there if you have a proper scouting systemn. :031:

yes, but how many goals will he score next season?
If he fails to reach the same figures the above statement will be proven right.

Swansea midfield is much much better .
Berbatov is 20+ striker with quality players around.
What we need is a midfield that can regularly supply our strikers. The midfield is, at the moment, the primary cause of our problems both going forward and going back.

I completely agree and its for that reason we need a threat from midfield. Relying on a striker for a club of our size will always be difficult due to reasons you mentioned.
What's more if we got a 15-20 goal striker how long would we realistically be able to hold onto him. 1 maybe 2 seasons before a big offer would come in and we'd be back to square one.

Oh right lets not play with a striker then,why did I mention it.
Just rely on midfield to get goals.
So what your saying is you dont want someone who can bang them
in on a regular basis.
Fulham Fans are a strange lot,why dont we just go back to the second
division...Doh
agree with the fact we need a striker.... i would take a headless chicken that rans faster than any defender in the prem :-)

Maybe I wasn't quite articulate enough with my post. Of course you need a striker and ideally one who is reasonable prolific but it's fairly pointless if the midfield is not good enough. A striker relies on service, therefore a midfield threat both in terms of goals and creating chances is fundamentally key.
If Fulham are serious about developing youth and building a team for the future then a good balance across the squad is essential in my eyes. Adding a 15-20 goal striker to a good core of players would be brilliant and I wouldn't turn that chance down. However sharing the responsibility somewhat and having a threat from other areas also makes it much harder for the opposition.

Messi could be your forward, but without proper feeding or service, machts nichts.

The great man would still score if they didnt have a midfield at all..lol
You cant worry about other clubs after top striker if we had one, other
clubs will come sniffing after any good player regardless of what position
he plays in..

could see it as no service, or u could see it as our 2 attackers being 2 yards from our defensive midfielders creating the problem..
chicken or the egg??
i know which 1 i think it is
