This is just my second post but I now feel that it is a matter of urgency that if ICT are going to stay up we need to have some sort of experienced striker up front. Someone who is able to provide serious man management skills on the pitch which will boost the confidence of our promising but not worldly strikers. We need someone who can instill confidence with his positional awareness (sadly lacking at the moment!). I am not one to spread rumours but someone in the mould of Robbie Winters who is looking to leave FC Brann at the end of the year might just fit the bill. I know he is not a superstar but he has the type of experience we need. Brewster did fit this bill but that was a couple of years ago!

Other suggestions welcome!

I'd have a fit and willing Kiegan Parker anyday. But a playboy and a whiner is the last thing our dressing room needs.

Anyone thats bonked Jade Goody deserves a medal... or a free test at specsavers.

Apparently Robbie Winters is training with Hamilton at the moment

I thought that was going to read I'd have a fit and willing Jade Goody anyday.........wheres my specs.

Robbie Winters is officially a free agent now according to Sky Sports News. Kilmarnock have offered him training facilities as well as Hamilton.

Wonder if we should make him an offer....

Tommy says Winters is welcome, but if Shnorbitz chits on his pitch then he's going into the firth.

I agree that Keigan Parker would be a good addition to our squad. He is the sort of player we need up front, bit of speed and movement and he also hits a ferocious shot. Wouldn't mind seeing him in a Caley shirt come January.

I don't know if I would want that kind of guy in the squad!

Keigan would bring a lot of joy to the ladies of Inverness...his "scoring" record on that front is second to none........joking aside tho....im very very surprised that ICT are not looking at Dundee striker Antoinne Courier (or thereabouts)....big physical guy-good scoring record and Dundee need the money "

But he also failed to hit it off in the big-league with hibs.

Would not want a guy like that ? What? WHY?

Is it because he whines, has been used, can only perform 3 times in a day or is it because he is not as good a footballer as you thought.

Either way maybe you are right--the poor wee soul....

I read that Mark Burchill is looking for a move back to Scotland with Livingston being interested in him. He's still only 28 despite seeming to have been around forever. Worth a gamble I wonder??

Definitely. Scored with Dunfermline easily enough and is doing the business with Rotherham. Obviously there's fitness to consider but a push-out-the-boat time for me. Every chance he wants the Central Belt mind if Rotherham's too far for him.

Despite some promising dealings in the transfer market the matter of bringing in an experienced striker still needs to be addressed.

No matter how much Brewster tinkers with the rest of the squad we will still be in serious trouble unless we can secure a proven goalscorer.

2 words..... ANDY JACKSON

...or Steven Milne

Sod it, let's just buy half the St J team!

But NOT the keeper!!!

..or Paul Sheerin or McCaffery...

Not sure that Andy Jackson, although he has potential, fits the desciption of an experienced SPL forward.

He is yet to score for St Johnstone this season so despite being impressed by his overall play last night i would have to say no. What about Pat Clarke at Clyde? He has bagged 11 goals this season despite the fact that Clyde hover just over the relegation zone.

Barrowman was even more prolific at lower league level ! What we need is someone with SPL experience.

If Brewster was not injured, would you guys be in favour of him coming back as the striker we need??

Also have to say unless we can turn up a ruff diamond or someone who can step up from the lower leagues, we ain't going to get a decent striker without breaking the wages budget. How many on here were so critical of the board last time they did it to get Marius.

Yes.

While there have been a large number of people calling his managerial abilities into question, virtually no-one has ever questioned the capabilities of Brewster the player. Unfortunately its not gonna happen though as his shoulder is fecked and you can be sure opponents know this and "might" take advantage of the fact.

But who? Probably no experienced striker from the Old Firm, the New Firm and the Edinburgh teams. So:

- Motherwell? No-one there we can afford.

- Killie? Looking for one themselves

- Falkirk? Their strikers aren't going to leave them for us

- Hamilton? None there

- St Mirren? Injury prone to Dargo is the only hope.

Think we have to look outside our own league.

Why the hell would we bring in another striker . We already have 4 on our books and our manager only ever plays one at a time . As long as he is still here there is no point as he is obsessed with this 1 up front system which has brought him so much success! We have capable strikers, if he would allow any 2 from 3 to form a regular partnership. Off course that would be like admitting you were doing something wrong and i have yet to hear Brewster accept the blame for anything to do with our current prediciment.

You'd need one that will hit 30 a season unless the defence gets sorted. We were always pretty solid at the back and we won games because we could shut the opposition out and nick goals here and there. We can still score goals, but our defence is rotten now. Get the defence sorted and we will get back up the table a bit. Certainly would get us out of trouble. Look at the teams around us, all of them have poor defences at the moment.
