owlsruleok Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 IMO and others may disagree we should keep Westwood and try to sign Nahki Wells from B City & Jacob Brown from Barnsley. We will more probably go for loan signings instead but it will be interesting seeing other opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I’d keep Westwood too but if not Etheridge is available I believe. Leko and Chris Martin up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Would like to see Dillon Phillips. Contract is up in a year, 24, has played some very good games. 126 Saves this season more than any other keeper in the championship. No clue about anyone else though, I think ill be optimistic if we bring in a fullbacks / wing-back as well as 2 strikers and a goalkeeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Happy to give Dawson/Wildsmith another year under the new coaching setup then change if necessary (I'm old enough to have seen both Chris Turner and Bob Bolder have horrendous spells for which they were rightly dropped and come back much stronger for it). As far as strikers go, sure Monk will have a list of targets that will fit his system of play and happy to leave him to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will more probably go for loan signings instead but it will be interesting seeing other opinions. Bristol City’s main striker Nakhi Wells, who they only signed in January? We can afford him? News to me. There’s no keeper available within our price range who I’d rather sign at the expense of two young keepers here who aren’t even close to hitting their peaks and, if we’re patient with at least one of them, we could end up having an incredible GK on our hands, especially if they’re now working with a new GK coach who’s meant to be big on new ideas, freshening things up etc. Having two young goalies he can mould will be like Christmas for him. You’ve got to remember that Dawson came in under a lot of pressure under the shadow of Westwood, no one wanted him in goal and I imagine he felt that. For me, Wildsmith is probably the better keeper. He showed mistakes last season but who doesn’t? That’s the first amount of regular football he’s had in YEARS after a lengthy spell out with injury also. Give him the number one jersey and the confidence that comes with that. Playing with the game tho. Dillion Phillips seems a good option tbh but Charlton would never sell to us in a month of Sunday’s. Karl Darlow another but his wages would be a massive stumbling block I’d imagine, even if it’s just on loan. Strikers. I think we need at least one big guy to replace Fletcher/Nuhiu. I think we’d be missing a trick in not signing Rudy Gestede on a free. Him and Rhodes have shown a fruitful partnership before - 43 goals between them in one season. Monk is apparently keen to look at Rhodes one more time, and if Beattie can inject confidence back into his game then I’m all for building a team around him and bringing him a strike partner that he loved playing with. Seemingly they brought the best out of each other. Windass seems all but a done deal and I’d be happy for Leko to be the fourth striker we need or another young prem loanee who’s keen to make a mark. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I think GK is just as crucial as bringing in forwards. I can imagine that Dawson and Wildsmith are probably impressing Flahavan in drill training. It tends tombs game situations where their faults are highlighted. If Westwood is not to be used for whatever reason then we DEFINITELY need a new #1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Nahki Wells cost Bristol City £5m. How is he 'affordable'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post elyowl1 Posted August 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2020 Without knowing the budget its difficult to answer, and the availability of players. However seeing as Martin is on a free he would be worth looking at, My ideal signing would be Vardy and yes it would be difficult financial wise but if he was available I would make him first choice, and given his age and his clear love of the club I suspect a deal could be done. Other choice would be Gayle dependent on how much Newcastle would subsidise his wages if they loan him out again. Whoever we sign it's the most important position to get right, we saw last season a fully fit decent forward makes the differance between top six at Christmas and a descent to relegation battle other factors accepted. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I would give my view but I'm scared that the owner will then sign those players and I'll get blamed when they turn out to be poo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdial Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 If we are serious we should go and sign Ivan Toney. That would do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pulis Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) I think Conor Chaplin and Josh Windass up top would be a good two. I don’t think we need a keeper but a good cheap option could be Steve Baxter or Muric on loan from Chelsea/Man City Edited August 25, 2020 by Tony Pulis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 As has been said above signing a new number one imo should be one of the most urgent things we do, someone like Darlow on loan would be great. Unfortunately I think Monk will go with what he’s got in goal which will be a massive mistake imo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just about over any restraints in spending and prices have supposedly come down and we are offloading players off the wage bill, I can only hope.

Agree on Martin hes a real handful and maybe the experience we need with a younger striker whoever that may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
