Mick70 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Zohore will arrive end of window? Or before wba now looking to sign grant from Huddersfield so can’t see zohore even making match day squad? They’ll take 25k a week of us cus it’s better than nothing as long as we don’t go any higher be happy to wait? Also think he won’t be the only one who arrives on loan, if it’s not zohore hope we got something else up our sleeve ? Paterson will adddress certain areas we are lacking but defo need another aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we have other targets lined up because like you say we definitely need another striker as well as Paterson. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll get a few more like that. I quite like us looking for bargains and loanees, instead of expensive flops with little resale value.

m77owl Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 From the Premier League site. No confusion here on dates. Window will open for 10 weeks from 27 July to 5 October with domestic-only window for EFL clubs until 11 October. Following consultation with the EFL, a domestic-only window will be added from 5 October, closing 17:00 BST on 16 October. During this window, Premier League clubs will only be able to trade with EFL clubs (either loans or permanent registrations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to hit the target. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan and Brown are among the most creative players at this level. I did say "clear cut" and we didn't have any of those on Saturday or against Watford. Windass maybe the best chance in both games but that was only half of one as he arrived too late, which was also created by Kachunga. Don't get me wrong, I do think we need some more "forwards" but also more creativity from wide positions. We are currently 3rd bottom on total shots stats, drawing blanks will continue with this 3-5-2/5-4-1 or whatever it is unless we get proper wingbacks putting in proper crosses.

I remember at least one, one on one chance in both first halves in our last two league games. You bemoan the lack of chances created, yet you belittle the impact and effectiveness Murphy had from out wide, and you overlook that we created chances last season and are still creating chances this season. I do think we have issues with the current formation, without Murphy or someone similar, it doesn't suit us but we are creating chances from midfield. Murphy or someone similar or Sanderson would give us better balance if we persist with 3-5-2. Playing the current formation, our most consistent and effective wide player last season was easily Murphy, and for large parts of it, he was our main attacking threat. We haven't replaced his effectiveness or goal threat yet. Edited September 28, 2020 by The Night-Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
