Bertuzzi44 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Looking at Canada's striking options, only Occean is having a really great season. You could say Jackson's season has been a success since it is his first in the Premier League, but he has only 2 league goals. Hume is doing alright, but is in the 3rd tier. So, the question is, which CNT striker would you like to see hit a rich vein of form and start scoring some goals for their club ahead of our crucial WCQ matches this summer? Rob Friend Simeon Jackson Iain Hume Tosaint Ricketts Ali Gerba (finds a club and starts scoring!) Marcus Haber Randy Edwini-Bonsu ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 REB and Jackson. Not sure how TR is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smapti Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 REB and Jackson. Not sure how TR is doing. Ricketts scored the equalizer just missing out on a brace in his last game. First time he was given meaningful minutes since the winter break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villus Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 All of them. Realistically though I would love to see Ali G find a club and give us another option for our target man, and have him and 00 as options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklefan Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 This is a strange thread because we all want the program to succeed. One goalscorer alone doesn't make the team and it would be great to have options not only in striker position but in defence and midfield as well. The more, no matter who, the merrier.

Friend is more likely to hit a rich vein in his arm with a needle than of form. REB I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously I want every CNT player to be as successful as possible, but strategically, IF you could choose one player to really start playing well who would you choose and why? Just discussion fodder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ref Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I like the way Tosaint Ricketts plays. He is the type of player that excites the game. Being relegated to such a wide position is a poor coaching decision when you don't have players in the middle who can finish his service. The coach is wasting his talent. Put him where he can produce all by himself and let him develop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.i.m. Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 You have to forget about Ali Gerba. His career is at twilight if not over. It looks like we have a few young strikers that are developing nicely and hopefully a couple of them will break through in this WCQ round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Simeon Jackson. Hopefully he can elevate the level of his international game; perhaps better service from what he was getting before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Definitely gotta go with REB, he looked awesome on the right vs. the USA I wonder what he could have done for the rest of the tournament. A guy like him adds a whole other dimension to our game, just like Tos with his speed but REB offers more technical ability. We need players like him who can run at defenses with the ball, our game right now is too slow and only Simpson offers us that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing about REB .. when he got that red for dissent or whatever it was for, ya, it was a dumbhead move, but he showed he has fire in his belly.

James Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hume has been scoring, hasn't he?. The other guys? It'd be nice to see Jackson get some more minutes and have a surge... It's likely too, given his track record and abilities. REB too. I think he'll probably get some playing time soon and he's another guy that has shown some pretty good skill finding the back of the net. He's a safe pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmcmurph Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well both REB and Occean got to start (63' & 90' respectively). Game ended in 0-0 score but they exchanged jerseys. Nice pick of Occean's jersey on REB's twitter page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Not a forward per say but I really hope we start to see Simpson putting up the numbers with Young Boys that he did with Manisaspor. He is a guy who has to be on his best form if we have any chance of qualifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontPanic Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Junior Hoilett +1 (as long as he commits) -1000 if it is anyone other than Canada -1000 if he does not commit to anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 +1 (as long as he commits) -1000 if it is anyone other than Canada -1000 if he does not commit to anyone That's the problem I have when I watch him play, I'm not sure whether I want to see him continue to play well or whether I want someone to crunch him with a season ending tackle!
