    Probably true, I've been quite impressed with him up front.

    Not being funny here but why haven't we brought Scott Hogan back yet? We have now played two games without a centre forward, we possibly go into Saturday again without a centre forward... We spent £12 million on Hogan, surely we should at least bring him back as a backup in case we again have to play without a striker?!

    50% So £55,000 per week

    Some perspective on Drinkwater: After yesterdays game he has now played more minutes in 2020 than he did in the whole of 2019. His last 3 games have all been against Manchester City, for Chelsea, Burnley and Villa.

    It wasn't. The whole team had a poor game.

    Onto the next one, the start of a huge 3 games and a chance to drag ourselves out of the relegation zone. Brighton are coming off the back of a 1-0 loss to Everton. Really hoping we have some reinforcements for this game, a striker is crucial right now. Reina Konsa Mings Hause Guilbert Nakamba Drinkwater Targett Grealish Trez El Ghazi Hourihane and Luiz were both passengers in the midfield against City. Nakamba and Drinkwater should be able to hold the midfield between them and allow Grealish to float in front of them. Praying Targett is back as I can't bear another 90 minutes watching Taylor. A new striker would be huge for us this week.

    I think the players did that instead yesterday.

    We need a striker in by Wednesday, there's no way we can go into this Brighton game without a recognized striker. Two days training with the squad should be enough. It's easy to say sat behind my keyboard but why did we not have a striker lined up in December ready to come in during January? We knew we were going to need one.

    I could just about cope with him going to Man City, possibly even Spurs. If he went to Man United it would be sickening.

    I didn't think he was that bad. Watching the highlights back he was directly involved in the first 3 goals, however he had two players either side who shirked all defensive responsibility all game. We effectively hung him out to dry yesterday. The only bonus is that he now has minutes under his belt and he will improve over the next few games. Technically he is very good, head and shoulders above Hourihane and Lansbury. He will come good, unfortunately time isn't on our side.

    I think we might have an announcement prior to kickoff.
  12. wilko154
    This is so true But I still want it to happen just for that 5 minute lift in his first game.

    I've been 50/50 over Benteke coming back since the Summer. It's hard to work out whether re-signing him would be lead by your head or your heart. Right now however, as a 2nd striker the risk is low at a time where we need a striker in a very hard market. For nostalgic reasons Benteke coming home would be absolutely fantastic for the atmosphere at Villa Park; I think and I would hope he would thrive under that. This post from the Palace Forum has maybe tipped the balance for me in favour of signing him as a 2nd striker, I think we need a strong player to hold up the ball in games and with some confidence he can do that for us. https://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=106&tid=170085&page=239

    If we sign a player today can he be in the matchday squad for Sunday? I imagine cutoff was either yesterday or at some point today with there being a PL match tonight.
  17. wilko154
    No, he's not the type of player we need and his wages would be incredibly high.
  18. wilko154
    Piatek going to Spurs

    Thought we were about to sign Kingsley Coman... disappointment for a second day.

    I would fight for the shirt, I wouldn't be very good though. Better than Taylor... but not very good.
  22. wilko154
    Really hoping we suddenly pull a world class striker out of the bag this week. Just a random announcement from nowhere.

    And the latest scapegoat award goes to...

    Absolutely brilliant again last night, my MOTM. I think he's now nailed on to be our No.1 going forward. If Kalinic leaves we may need a reserve keeper along with Sarkic, but there's certainly no need to go splashing silly money or wages on a first team keeper. Nyland looks like a different player, full of confidence in the area which was his biggest weakness before. His shot stopping is also superb. The only thing that confuses me, I seem to remember his distribution being really good last season but it's been no where near as good as I remember?! Still, a minor point to improve on.
