malek Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 4 hours ago, Kraschenbern said: Wouldn't surprise me at all if we signed someone from the German Leagues. Penney and JVA just been out there and Borner obviously is from there and might know a player or two he's come up against. Added bonus having Borner might mean a fellow German might come over as they'd have a fellow countryman already here. Makes settling easier. As I wrote before, Diamantakos who played with Penney at St Pauli last season is a top striker who would have been big improvement on what we had here last season and afordable on lower wages.

Guest Hornsby Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. Dom Howson speculating on getting Gestede, to get up Rhodes again. Now that would be some signing, if fit and free and reasonable wages. Edited September 5, 2020 by Hornsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said he’s the type of player (big lad) he thinks Monk wants but hasn’t heard Gestede mentioned. Edited September 5, 2020 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope not, Rhodes is a busted flush (cue hat trick today now) so hardly worth bringing in a player who he had one good season with 6 years ago and who has hardly kicked a ball since. So much for young and dynamic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHNHARKES Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 What about Michael Smith at Rotherham. 28 decent mobile Target man. Not prolific but a good foil and realistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 We need to steer clear of has-beens like Gestede & Baston. They've struggled for 4yrs, like Rhodes - and Kachunga for the last 3. We need someone more current, who we can feel confident in will replace Fletcher's contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Interesting Dom said yesterday we are looking to bring in 2-3 forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is financially we can’t afford a “on form current” striker. I think the one we will get will either be a yet unproven one we hope will improve with us or one past his best to try and get them back to how they were like gestede. We simply can’t afford anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djorkaeff Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 It would be great if we can bring in a couple of exciting forwards and hit the ground running. I do believe we need to eat that -12 up quickly or win the appeal to have a chance. Mourinho style all against us may help. Norwich are doing more good business, Gibson, Dowell and Hugill.

If we were sensible, we'll have biased our budget towards signing a decent striker, given the decision to overhaul that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camffiti Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I've saved & co some time, by doing some THOROUGH research with my scouting system ... I filtered for height & pace on FM20 and apparently Famara Diedhiou is interested in coming to S6 £350k max 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of a single forward we have brought in from a foreign league that has gone on to be a success (at our club) in the last 25?years. Hopefully that will change.

Our last signings have been free transfers or of low value, we have made consistent huge losses for the past 4 years and still have a bloated wage bill. I’m guessing not a lot.

agentwalker Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Thats generally how things go in our league. early on teams scramble to pick up the bargains, its later on that you see some cash spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
