However, we could probably get someone similar and younger for cheaper. Dunno why we don't look at getting someone decent from the lower leagues like Joe Pigott. A few championship clubs have looked at Pigott, but decided against My main concern is, that we would have to pay over a million for him, and it’s a huge gamble for someone who’s 27, and has only done it in the lower leagues Not sure it’s good business sense to be signing lower league players who aren’t young enough to develop Not much around though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's available at a reasonable price, he'd offer better value for money than Jutkiewicz. Has someone like Jutkiewicz despite being the type of striker we need, wouldn't have any resale value. Whereas some players in the lower leagues or a younger version of Jutkiewicz would have some resale value. If not Pigott, I'd consider the likes of Jephcott or Abrahams, etc instead of wasting what little funds we have on players in their 30s.

No you're right, let's not show any aspiration or signs of doing what we can to get out of this mess and accept signing reserve players from fellow struggling teams.

Orlando_Trustful Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Strange because Birmingham look like being in the relegation battle. Not sure why they would give us one of their strikers even though he is mostly on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you've been living underground for the last 2 years , you'd realise there's no money to chuck around for players currently performing in their current teams. You give me a player we can realistically sign that everyone will think 'wow he's a right signing' it's the market we're shopping in now unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have to be performing in the first team for their current clubs? Are there no loan deals to be had from prem clubs? I see Swansea managed to think outside the box and successfully go for hourihane. Who would have thought that? You don't ask you don't get.

And how to you know we haven't tried for these so called prem players on loan ? And have been rebuffed in our attempts. Its not as easy as it may seem given our current predicament, we aren't exactly an attractive proposition for so called Premier league players currently. Players like Connor Hourihane go to teams like Swansea for a 2 reasons, they'll be able to pay if not all but most of his wages, and also they are 3rd in the league fighting for promotion.

I don't know for definite, neither do you know that we have explored these options. What I would expect is that the current financial climate should mean that deals are there to be done as clubs will need cash/cost off their bills so are likely to be a bit more open for a deal to be done. Based on what I've witnessed over the last 3 years I would not be putting my mortgage on us having explored all these avenues. Would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs also interested, likely to be loaned out immediately if that was to happen. Don't know much about him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say clubs are more worried about leaving themselves short in terms of personnel at the moment. Clubs will have already done their sums to budget for the season.

Was always likely and they knew it. there’s little evidence to suggest any championship clubs are being forced to the table. Boro could lose Assombalonga and Fletcher for nothing in the summer. Paid over 20mil for the pair. They aren’t pressured to move them on. likewise, Bristol City could lose 5mil Diedhiou for nowt, and Collins at Luton. They’re not pressured either.

Prem clubs will not loan out as they need large squads yet villa allow one of their subs to leave on loan.... Still believe there are deals to be done if people have the appetite and desire to look.
