A 4th choice striker would most likely be a veteran entering the twilight of his career who has no international ambitions and would be happy sitting on a bench, or a young striker who is still raw and has potential but is happy to sit on the bench for experience. Not sure if Ngog falls under the 2nd category.

like morgan. if we have money then spend it on quality if not don't waste it on a clogger happy to sit on the bench, we may as well have kept jove.

No one knows what Morgan is like at this level, it's like all those people who were saying we could rely on Kelly as back up centre back, he's never played there at this level! I appreciate they need a chance to prove themselves, but the fact is they're an unknown commodity, N'Gog was the back up last season, not Jova so it's an unfair comparison, he played a fair bit and contributed several goals, that's what we'll lose if he goes and those 8 goals a season CAN be the difference.

Most of his goals have come in cup competitions against weak opposition (and we obviously haven't one of those for a while). He managed 2 goals in 25 Premier League appearances last season. I reckon we could just about live without that, particularly if his replacement managed, say, 4 or 5 goals in the league.
