whilst you can never have too many decent strikers you do not want to spend months turning someone into a good striker to see the mancs benefit...
never heard of him and even less likely to have watched the scum in the CL.

never seen much benefit to Rovers future in this sort of deal.... unless HB is going to bin someone in the Transfer window.

I am the same, never watch them, so the player is an unknown quantity. However it all depends on the length of the proposed loan deal. A couple of months may see Leon Best returning and therefore this guy would "plug the gap".

We need a striker to support Rhodes. We/he were superb against Peterborough but he has looked isolated in other games. Also if Rhodes picks up an injury we are absolutely snookered

Quick check on Wiki reveals...

He's Norwegian, so if Berg can tell him in Norwegian lingo to basically give Rhodes the ball then I think we're laughing! :)

He's scored a fair bit for Norway's youth international teams so knows how to hit the net.

Didn't score much for Hull on loan, but was he used as a primary goal scorer, or given the right role/position?

Been played under Fergie and as we all know, anyone who has some of Fergies management tends to be an improvment on their game.

I think it's a wise option for a loan...

I don't think we are snookered. We had Gomes firing very well before Rhodes came. In January we have Goodwilly and Best (hopefully) back.

If he's a hold up player/target man then that would be great until January.

I'd rather have a proper left back and play Martin Ollson in midfield left. We haven't had a proper left back for ages.

I am surprised by this potential signing. King can play striker or wings. I think at this moment in time we do not need him. I think we need HB;
RB cover for Henley, Centre Back or LB
Box to box midfielder
RW
Target/Hold Up Striker
I think we have enough strikers and players who could play there if really needed. In the future we need someone to assist Rhodes up front.
RW is the main priority I feel as there is only really Formica or CKR who can play there are the moment but it is defeinitely not their favoured position.

if we are going to ditch CKR in Jan then yes we need someone else in ASAP.

He looks quite sharp on the youtube clip I saw of him, very quick feet an bags of skill but not broke any pots at the other clubs that he has been out on loan to, Hull, Preston and in Germany.

We will also will have Goodwillie free to play again by then- but not sure Berg will fancy him?

So it could be Rhodes, Best, Nunes and King as the four strikers. Quite a good mix of youth, experience and skill.

What a short-sighted view.

If he performs well for us, then it benefits us. Forget what it does long-term for Man U.

And secondly, get with the times. We haven't been Man U's rivals for 15-20 years and we have no relevance to them at all.

The article doesn't say he will be our only signing.Berg said previously that although it was good to have impact players who could change a game he expected every player to be able to do 90 mins if required,Maybe he wante some younger legs.

He came on as a late sub last night and really did not get into the game so no real opinion of how good he is other than if he is at Man U he cannot be that bad
Good for HB in in looking forward hopefully he will continue to do so and clean out some of SK below par signings

I would like to see Nunes play right side. Left footers cutting in from the right and vice versa seem to offer more of a threat in my opinion. Different caliber of player but Ashley young always plays left side whipping curling balls in with the right foot or cutting inside to shoot. The problem with left footers playing left side is that the ball is generally curling away from goal whereas with the other foot it's curling towards goal often only requiring a glancing touch to take it in. Would certainly suit Jordan Rhodes. Maybe Nunes isn't up to it but he's looked decent the few times I have seen him. Doesn't look like he'll get a sniff on the left side because the Olsson partnership seems to be firing on all cylinders.

I am surprised by this potential signing. King can play striker or wings. I think at this moment in time we do not need him. I think we need HB;
RB cover for Henley, Centre Back or LB

Target/Hold Up Striker
I think we have enough strikers and players who could play there if really needed. In the future we need someone to assist Rhodes up front.
RW is the main priority I feel as there is only really Formica or CKR who can play there are the moment but it is defeinitely not their favoured position.
I would like to see Nunes play right side. Left footers cutting in from the right and vice versa seem to offer more of a threat in my opinion. Different caliber of player but Ashley young always plays left side whipping curling balls in with the right foot or cutting inside to shoot. The problem with left footers playing left side is that the ball is generally curling away from goal whereas with the other foot it's curling towards goal often only requiring a glancing touch to take it in. Would certainly suit Jordan Rhodes. Maybe Nunes isn't up to it but he's looked decent the few times I have seen him. Doesn't look like he'll get a sniff on the left side because the Olsson partnership seems to be firing on all cylinders.
You make a good point...

Nunes has been exceptional when I've watched him play at Ewood. He gets the balls in good positions most times and can run around a player quite easily..

As for the wing switch for swinging balls towards the net, I think your totally right... Rhodes would be able to poach goals left, right and centre! As a slight comparison (and it is slight)... I play ice hockey on the left wing and I am right handed, my right wing man is left handed, normally we should play on alternate wings as that would be the natural selection. Last season I was top goal scorer and he was top point scorer for our team...

I think Berg is probably happy with the cover we have in defence, I know we are light at the back but we do have people who can cover like Givet who can play LB or CB, both Olsson brothers who can play LB, Bruno Ribeiro, Nuno Henrique (never seen him play) and dont forget Jason Lowe who can cover at RB also.

I think we need to get rid of CKR as he is a waste of space in my eyes and another striker coming in allows us to do this.
