For me, it's would be either Rhodes or Hooper. If it's a problem with service, then it doesn't matter whether it's Rhodes, or Hooper. There is an argument that Hooper is a better team man, although it's not currently paying dividends. Me, I prefer Fletcher and Forestieri, but then, that hasn't worked either Rhodes is far better than Hooper in the air - my opinion. His scoring record trumps most in this division over the years. Good chance he may be available too. A quartet of Rhodes, Fletcher, Hooper, and Forestieri should suffice. Joao doesn't appear to have the consistency we require, and we know Nuhiu's limitations. I'd sacrifice those two. i don't agree on service issue. We're creating chances. I see conversion being more significant at the moment - that and Forestieri's iffy form.

pazowl55 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Back in for Alan Judge maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I seriously doubt we will be in for much in January. I am sure Carlos will say something along the lines of 'We have all the ingredients, we just haven't found the right recipe' to pour cold water all over the transfer window.

RichieB Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) We should just buy all the best players in the championship, then all they have to do is put that tiny ball in that massive net every game more than the opposites, then we're on our way. Easy. Edited November 2, 2016 by RichieB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Mancienne - buy Perreira - buy Rhodes - loan Matias, Joao back also would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is then I think we need some players who won't break the bank but are on red on form at the moment: Anthony Modeste: On absolute fire for FC Köln, he might cost about 3-4 mil but would definitely grab the goals we haven't been scoring. Arber Zeneli: A trickly little winger that could just add a bit more flair to our game. Raul Silva: Solid CB from Portugal that has been playing very well for Maritimo, wouldn't break the bank. Victor Hugo Garcia Hernandez: The RB that we need, really really solid player who would make our back 4 unbelievably good. Maybe I'm a bit optimistic... My thought process on any post like this is basically, this guy really knows his stuff closely followed by, or he's just been playing the FM17 beta......I really want to believe it but I just can't bring myself to, that's not to say they aren't good players. I think Modeste's 11 goals in 9 games in the Bundesliga means he would cost more than 3-4 mil IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike1867 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Scott Hogan - cheaper than Rhodes and has had more game time. He's not going to need a month getting match fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind a bit of FM though! On the topic of Modeste, he was linked with West Ham over the summer I believe for around 3 million. So maybe I am a little optimistic but surely promotion would make us forget that money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine. Whichever way you look at it, we are failing in the attacking side of our game. It's not just a blip, we are over a third of the way through the season and we've scored just sixteen goals. It cannot be blamed on bad luck, something is wrong, either it's the balance of the side, or the players just aren't good enough. Personally I subscribe to the former. I don't think we have the balance of the side right, and some of our recent signings have actually complicated things further. So, in that respect, I'm not sure that there's much point in spending big in the January window, certainly not without first changing the system that we play.

They count for nothing. Our players need to sharpen their teeth - or get another one or two in who can finish. Right now, Hooper is the only one I'd back to bury a decent chance when it comes along.

Groundhopping Owl Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Let's be honest, this thread won't make it to January As for who I'd like - have another look at Morgan Fox who would give us a long-term solution at left back, go for a top quality right back too (though I can't really think of anyone... suggestions?)

It really isn't the full back positions we should be worrying about though, it's a chronic lack of goals that's stopped us progressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I know people are sick of seeing his name or being linked with him but I really do feel Jordan Rhodes would solve our goal scoring problems. Cant see why we couldn't try for him on loan in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
