nbupperthongowl Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Where was Patterson last night....is he on his way? Surely if he was going to be the main striker he needs to play with the new players to get used to each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly……..Ellis Simms at Everton on loan would be the signing to make fans think we could get promoted….Simms single handily got Blackpool promoted last season and Benitez wants him out on loan again …..Make it happen Chansiri!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young striker from Everton who was at Blackpool last season, or the winger Moore had at Donny who’s now out of contract? Both would be great signings, fingers crossed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But then again we didn't hear anything about Brown or Wing until it was a done deal either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be amazed if he didn’t end up back at Blackpool. They have publicly said they want him still and seem very much in the loop about the surgery he has had over the summer. I imagine they’re just waiting for him to be back to a good level of fitness and then he’ll sign for them. That said if he is somehow made available to league 1 clubs then I would love him at Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare to spend your budget on limited strikers over a 50+game season and he never plays. It surely csnt be worth the risk. We want fit and ready players that won't break down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The signings made so far plus the rejected trialists suggest that pace and mobility are at the top of DM’s requirements. Wickham is the absolute opposite to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he get more injured while you were typing that out? Sounds about right. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete forward. Had it all. Just needed to stay injury free and find consistency - which he did for Reading last season. But agreed we rarely sign strikers who can play off the shoulder, run into the channels and frighten defenders with their pace. Joao is the only one who I think really fits that mould. Windass I suppose to an extent. The only other I can think of is Gabby Agbonlahor on loan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 24 minutes ago, TheEnchanter said: Can't remember having a pacy mobile striker for years and years. But is that the type of striker to play alone upfront in Moore's favored 4-2-3-1 formation ? Wouldn't we ideally want someone who can win a header, keep ball upfront and get others involved ?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An experienced target man, plus a pacey option to mix it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just came across this - obviously aimed at championship clubs so quite a few of these would be beyond us but in terms of wide players or strikers there’s a couple of names we might be looking at. Wickham’s been discussed, I was disappointed with him in his last spell here so would rather we avoided him. Wouldn’t mind Baldock provided his wages aren’t too high, ditto Sinclair for a bit of added pace. I’d have assumed he’d be beyond us but Marvin Johnson hasn’t found a club yet. He may have played for the unwashed but he’s a very useful player on his day, can play wing back too so offers a bit of tactical flexibility. Same story with Jamie Paterson, a player I’ve wanted us to sign for years, he’s quality imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (Having just looked, Paterson is on trial at Boro which likely rules us out. Shame.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham scored a couple for us in that loan spell. He would be very good in League 1 if over his injuries. No other forwards on that list appeal.

Considering he's only played about 80 games in nearly 9 years I'd say he is never over his injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
