Guest RedDragonOwl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Ward, Madden and now Winnall. Sign them all. Surely one of the will score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeakOwl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Looking at the highlights posted earlier in the thread, he'd clearly be an improvement in the air on any of our current strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 6 minutes ago, gurujuan said: Well he might be better, though that's debatable, but why do we need to add yet another player who isn't good enough to get into the starting eleven. He's only ever scored eleven goals at this level, so he's hardly a sure fire winner Thats 6 more than our starting strikers, he has a history of scoring goals as did the likes of Hooper. if he scores 10 more and was under contract then he'd be worth about 15m (Hogan). We simply can't afford to buy players who have the lengthy CV to prove they would make a big difference, but we do have more cash than most of the division which allows us to take a calculated gamble. If you can get in there just before they get the hype you can make a shed load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all of that, and if it had been Peterborough or Rotherham chasing him, I'd have thought, that's a shrewd bit of business. Just not sure about him really, and I'm probably not alone, as he doesn't seem to have attracted any top flight interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Would welcome another back up striker. Joao has let us down these past few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because he is not built like a tank and fast (whilst no slouch) Which is why Bogle looks a prospect, if not a little raw (another assist with a clever flick the other night). But funnily enough, everyone wants Rhodes who hasn't had top flight interest either and he's even slower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I guess I meant a second striker for when we're not playing one up front or FF isn't up front or we have injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Joao and Nuhiu out. FF, Hooperman, Fletcher and Winnall looks decent to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, but maybe me again, I didn't want Rhodes (though a loan deal would have been OK) Probably Billy Sharp would score goals at this level, but I wouldn't want him either. Put it this way, if it's a choice, I'd rather keep Lucas Joao, than sign Sam Winnall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean on a plate though, he just needs it in the right areas and he does the rest himself, his timing is class and he just ghosts in. But I would rather have Winnall than Joao. There was talk of Joao being a mega star and top international but I'm not convinced he will get there by playing in England. He doesn't look comfortable or confident on the pitch at the moment. Ideally we'd loan him out for a break but if we needed to sell to get an impact this season I'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Apparently he only has 6 months left on his current deal? Barnsley in a difficult position. Imagine they will have to bite the bullet and take what they can get for him now in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, even allowing for Joao currently looking like Bambi on ice, if you said to me, who do you think will go the furthest, Lucas Joao, or Sam Winnall, my money would be on Joao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Wonder if we could pinch Winnall and Hourihane from them? They seem to have an understanding, almost like what Sheridan and Hirst had. Hourihane would be good replacement for Lee, would add some more solidity, creativity and goals, whilst Winnall is in form and looks a genuine bargain. If possible I'd try and get both of them in, would be smart business like @studentowl suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
