jonnyowl Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I think we need someone like Lukas to come lead the line, then I'd be going for a loan for someone like Louie Barry or Liam Delap who are scoring goals for U23's for Aston Villa and Man City. We aren't going to get someone proven in this league. The last time we did that it cost us £3m plus £30k a week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I'd take him. Always been a threat when I've seen him and we need added physicality up front. His record is very poor this season but if that's more down to Karanka's tactics which wouldn't surprise me, then I'd take him especially on a free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he not getting picked at the minute? no he is having cameo’s off the bench - they play hogan (just got an injury) with 2 attacking mids, and apparently according to them try to walk the ball into the net. He is more reliant on crosses, holding the ball up and bringing others into play - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace and power, and 4 or 5 years older than Louie Barry. Jutkiewicz would be way down my list, but as a last resort, maybe a loan until the end of the season. As others have said, doesn’t score many now, but will bring others into play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a swap would interest them? Joey Pelupessy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Pelupessy? yeah I’d have thought so - if we did sign him would be a massive upgrade on Patterson and would improve the starting 11 & squad I’ve attached his mins recently mainly off the bench his a real fans favourite at blues, they would gutted to lose him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbagMcgraw Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 If it is us trying to sign him, then better than what we have, sure, but just done with all these mercenaries now! Can't we just sign some players with a bit of hunger and something to prove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Cosby Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I rate Jutkiewicz, ok he's not a prolific goalscorer, but he's an absolute unit, good in the air and has got tidy feet... We need someone to lead the line and IMO we could do a lot worse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chief Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He would be an upgrade on Paterson although not sure anyone else would run through a keeper like Paterson. For that reason I have mixed feelings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The type of player we need, just wonder whether this particular player is a season past his best. Also, £1m a lot considering what we baulk at paying for younger players with development potential. Not as mobile as he used to be, but if we can play the likes of Green, Windass, Harris high up the pitch to feed of him, could still be useful.

We should get him in, won't be too costly and could suit us with Reach/Harris etc providing the assists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 57 minutes ago, 0114 said: To be fair he’s playing under the Spanish Pulis this season. But the last 2 seasons before he’s been very good. 19/20 46 games 14 goals 3 assists 18/19 46 games 14 goals 10 assists Agreed. That’s pretty good for a targetman. This year though he started the season as an ever-present but is now coming on for cameo mins as sub. I’d have him in a heartbeat. Proper striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 A huge factor in our demise has been paying for players with poor injury records. This lad has played 115 of Brum’s last 117 matches, usually playing the full 90. Its a complete no-brainer. Therefore we won’t buy him and instead will play Green the winger out of position or we’ll get a lad who’s been injured who will play 8 of our 23 remaining matches.

If so, why are we still going after his targets The same reason we have so far signed two of Pulis targets in Sam Hutchinson and Andre Green. DC and his advisors don't have a clue what they are doing they are working off the old managers wanted list before they have a new manager in who will want different players. But don't worry when fans are allowed back ticket prices will be £50 a game to pay for all this, a loyalty bonus for not attending games for a years so to speak.
