gurujuan Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Jordan Hugill ha ha, not unless we’re building for league one A bulldozer of a player, better suited to a bygone age, or the lower leagues Surely Bruce has more sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even at Villa he had the likes of Bolasie and Adomah who he needed to turn to purely as impact players. I don’t think there are many better than Joao at that. True. He's a great impact player.

Not at this level. Strong quick, decent in the air and can leather it. PNE never got relegated. Plus he is robust and doesn’t get injured much. We’d need more dynamic players too though.

19owl08 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I can’t see Bruce wanting to get rid of Forestieri in all truth, unless he knows he will never regain 100% fitness. When Bruce was at Villa he singled Forestieri out as being our main threat describing him as a “top, top player”. This season when talking about Forestieri’s fitness he referred to him being up their with “the best in this division”. So if he was to sell him I think he’d want good money, not a cut price. He’s the perfect manager for a player like Forestieri because he knows how to deal with ego & personalities. Rhodes I think will be gone & totally understand Bruce wanting that to be done at a lower price. It clears a lot of wages and he wouldn’t want someone in the dressing room who has made it clear he doesn’t want to be here. As for Joao... he’s got so much talent but is so weak & generally seems like he can’t be bothered. I’m not saying he isn’t but his body language gives that impression. I think Bannan was the one who said he is frustrating because in training he’s immense but doesn’t seem to be able to convert it into the games. So wouldn’t be surprised to see him move on if we get a decent offer but I doubt it’s a priority as he’s probably not on huge wages & offers something a little different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Joao does it in training, surely Bruce can see it, and should be able to help him transfer it to games. Don’t feel he was given enough game time last season, especially when you consider his minutes to goals ratio Edited June 23, 2019 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Sam Gallagher is another one who might be worth a look on loan. Can play centrally and our wide but Southampton always seem to want a fortune for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 None of these players are similar in style to the players used by Bruce previously, Abraham at Villa, and Abel Hernandez at Hull The idea that we have to have a big daft lad barging his way around, up front, is so outmoded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been complicated because we've never had a team capable of getting out of this division. Plenty like Hugill are good enough to keep us in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
