Bluesteel Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Bonne isn’t really a classic centre forward though, more someone who plays off one and we’ve just signed two of those. Cosgrove at Aberdeen would fit the bill more now that Dykes has gone. But it’s whether we could spend the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think Chris Martin is mobile enough and not sure he is the kind of character Monk wants in the dressing room. Again don’t remember him scoring a lot of goals. Chris Martin isn’t my ideal type of signing but he has scored goals He’s had over 100 goals majority of them in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 30 minutes ago, Owls-Fan said: Hopefully we sign Garner (DM) and Sanderson (WB) on loans. And a big striker like Baston on a free. I don’t rate Gestede. I’d also love it if we signed a young striker with real potential like Folarin Balogun at Arsenal. Do that and my whelm would shoot right up Yep never going to happen as he’s going to be a star but Balogun would be an amazing signing for anybody. He’s of Nigerian decent so we could get Iorfa, Urhoghide, Odubajo, and Dele-Bashiru to have a word. We are all super eagles.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think cosgrove is out injured until Christmas and Aberdeen are looking at 2m at least for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) It’s mad, the consensus, at the club, as well as on here, was that we needed to sign young players. As it was last year by the way. We didn’t sign any last year, and have only signed Fizz this time, and now people are putting forward a whole raft of oldies who they now want us to sign We keep making the same mistakes, and the fans encourage us to do it Edited September 2, 2020 by gurujuan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Probably completely unrealistic, but after splashing the cash on Ivan Toney I wonder if Brentford would sell Marcus Forss ? I’d love to see someone like that here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sums don't add up, we shouldn't do it. That's the biggest mistake we've made and shouldn't repeat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never the be all and end all when playing youth football but think Adedoyin is more of a right winger/forward, Simmonds am sure is left footed but has played centrally as well Both look talents to be fair, I’ve also been told GM rates the young lad Manu Hidalgo very highly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense. If we can get someone half as effective that would be a decent forward line. I agree , we can by hook or crook field a competitive 11 now... let's wait till end of window and get a prem striker on loan ... Andre gray ??
