So Fernando needs a decent strike partner...

[AFII]

If he isn't ready (and I suspect our coaches are better placed than any of us to tell) then he could easily do worse than Voronin who particularly when played with Crouch and earlier in the season has done well at times for us. If we play Nemeth before he is ready and he does badly and his development is put back no one benefits.

I agree with you about age and experience but I don't see how you can tell he is ready when others much closer to the situation appear not to think so. In some cases like even Insua you have a much stronger case as he has been in first team squads and so it is obvious that Rafa and our staff think he is ready for consideration even if they usually pick other options.

I don't care if Voronin is a seasoned international, he has done very little for us and isn't a real goal threat or that creative.

There is many seasoned international players that isn't good enough.

Well that's why you're not a football manager and Rafa is

Torres, Babel, Nemeth and a new striker should be ok IMO.

Maybe we could get Dos Santos. He still hasn't signed a new deal with Barca and his agent is allegedly offering him around the big clubs.

Wheres the evidence of this? This even by your standards AF is a crazy post

Torres has settled and been brilliant/Babel has showed flashes of brilliance but drifts in and out of games and has a lot to learn so is no way ready to be a permanent first team member/Nemeth has had a few gr8 cameos in the reserves and scored some great goals but it is a giant step up to the first team so would be a huge gamble/Dos Santos if i am honest has looked very raw at barca and would be no closer to first team action that babel.

This is an extremely young and inexperienced strikeforce with no premiership experience.
