S72 Owl Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Think it’s a must in January. This team is still crying out for someone with a bit of pace that can get in behind the defence and finish. Sell Rhodes and Winnall and bring in someone, no idea who, could be a kid from a premier league team, just someone with pace please that can play off Fletcher.

I think a few people will be disappointed with our transfer activity in January. Until the EFL have fizzed us over for our owners incompetence we will be signing no one. As of yet the EFL don't seem to be rushing to deal with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 We'll probably be in another embargo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 It’s a must, if we’re able. Either a replacement for Fletcher, or if we persist with him, then two goalscoring wide men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrh Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Can we have a player like that Jordan Rhodes that never stopped scoring for Huddersfield and Blackburn please.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 If we're gonna persist with 433/451, then a goal-scoring wing-forward is a must - and one that doesn't neglect responsibilities without the ball. We don't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrh Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Jokes aside though, haven't we dismissed this myth that you have to pay big bucks to get good players. Look through our recent signings of the last 5 years and some of the free signings have been by far the best: Westwood, Lees, Lee, Bannan, Hutchinson, Wallace, Harris, Borner etc. Only really Forestieri that we paid money for that has been well worth it. Its about getting value for money isn't it or investing in someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minton Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Kodjia on loan, pay his wages so Villa free up a salary and squad space with a view to sign him on a free when his contract expires in the summer. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have been prolific before and there is no reason why they can't again if we play the right system, let's be fair we have feck all to lose.

There’s loads of posts on this, as far as I’m aware if we give him away then we still pay the remainder of the payments owed to Boro upfront which effectively as far as this years accounts go costs us money. The best we could do is arrange a fee for a loan deal. The situation does need sorting though, if you look at his record he scored goals as part of a front two and starting games. If he is to stay then he needs to be starting with fletcher or nuhiu for at least 10 games, otherwise yes we need to somehow get rid. Winnall has had a serious ACL injury so I doubt we can sell him to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately none of our players are worth anything True, and that has been the case since the Wembley defeat. 3 or 4 targeted loan signings would have done the job back then, and that remains the case right now It’s the 30 odd signings, and the money spent, since then, that has landed us where we are today What we’ve done so far this season, has to be the way forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
