da da da da da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa winner winner chicken dinner

thats the one duno why he has not even been given a try yet

Worth a look

Richard Porta?

Yep, he'd still be my pick to start and play the first 60 minutes leading the line, then chuck on your Troisis or Rukas to run at tired legs.

most on the list play as attacking midfielders or wingers... taggart, juric and mcdonald are the only real strikers there... putting duke on the list is ridiculous if you've watched him play for the mariners this season. taggart and juric have not been consistent enough but the former has the edge at the moment. juric has had about two good games at a-league level. the same amount duke had befiore holger chose him. what about having a good SEASON before you get picked to go to a world cup.

those talking up ruka should take note of his conversion rate and general ineptness with the ball at his feet.

kennedy and cahill are obvious choices. leckie will play wide not as an out and out striker. he doesn't have the size or at this stage of his career the poise on the ball to play alone up front.

mcdonald has missed the boat.

holman has never been a striker.

kewell maybe, depending on form leading up to the world cup.

nathan burns had some good moments towards the end of his loan spell at newcastle but he needs to 1)make the team and 2) continue that form with his korean team.

Mathew Leckie

Leckie?

According to the wise FourFourTwo community, once a player turns 30 they are suddenly shit and should no longer play for the national team.

Rukavytsa definitely. Can't see any of the A-League'ers go except as depth and experience.

Why on earth Kewell?

Agreed.

Kewell,Kennedy, Ruka, Leckie, Juric, Duke

Slim pickens atm

we will need to press hard up front, cant do that with kewell.

I would prefer leckie he was in great form earlier in the season hopefully he improves a bit more towards the end.

sorry didnt read title haha um Ruka I think.

Ruka for sure. Most under rated player during the reigns of our recent coaches.

Jesus, Kennedy has got to be the most underrated striker on this forum. Ex-bundesliga player, twice golden boot in J-League denied the third only due to injury, 17 goals in 33 international matches including one against Netherlands one of the teams we will be playing, at the peak age of 31. Despite all these there are constantly calls for him to be dropped. ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

if there is going to be another one, it would have to be someone with some pace to keep pressure on tired defenders.

i think ruka will be going anyway, especially now that kruse is out.

kewell will have to battle cahill and kennedy for the old mans spots. (bye bye kennedy??).

it will be either taggart or juric or ikonomidisisomsiss.

I cant think of his name on the tip of my tongue but what happened to the guy everyone wanted in the team and still has not got a cap :lol:

For his scoring record he should of at least got a try by now

Ruka as a winger, I can see him or Vidosic starting for Kruse

It would be interesting to see how Taggart would perform in a half decent side, he's done pretty darn well scraping the barrel at the Jets.

ruka as a winger, Juric for the last striker spot.

Troisi?

wow… :-| We're fucked...

Would like to see both Adam Taggart and Tomi Juric if for nothing else than experience heading towards the Asian Cup.

Most of those aren't strikers.

Would love for Babalj to return from injury and make a late run but surely Leckie is the most realistic option.

Leckie? Who basically is the incumbent

Fuck that's a grim list

:lol: Well that proves I can't read
