Secondly, he has pace and scored a load of goals at this level last season. But yeah, let's complain about someone who hasn't even signed for us/kicked a ball for us. oh calm down you big girls blouse....were speculating aern't we? I'm not that convinced about adams, thats all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t want us to sign older players that have proven themselves over many seasons, like your aforementioned examples. So you must be wanting us to sign 23 year olds with a proven track record of banging in goals season after season since they were 19? I reckon £120m might tempt Chelsea for Abraham! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillyno9 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Bottom line is we need another striker. Che Adams scores 22 goals in a mid table championship team last season. He is completely different to any other striker we have currently, yet some fans don’t want him??? ffs, what is up with some people. Let chansiri worry about the money aspects of the deal and if there is an opportunity to get the lad in, then let’s do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's exactly what we need another aging target man. 23 is 'aging'? Doesn't say much for our current forwards , does it? And all this 'panic buying'. We are in the situatuion where our principal striker has been side=lined for the next 8-10 nweeks. May I just point out 2 rather important facts - the transfer deadline ends in some 2-3 weeks, and the season closes in April/May 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like madine was tall.....but not that good. If you want someone who played every match under monk during his tenure at birmingham then go for Lucas Jutkiewicz. 30 years old Best goal tally in one season 14. Not aware he's available for loan or sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Not sure we'd have room for Adams alongside Gray, Wickham, and Gayle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me for the right amount of money he would give us some pace up front, when you look at his goals, compare him to our best striker Fletcher who has never scored more than 13 goals in a season he appears to be on an upward climb. Stats are great are they. Oh yeah and everyone is forgetting he's a former blunt so damaged goods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
