jacketspuds Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Nice to see us still being linked with Andros Townsend. Don't the media know that Sherwood isn't our manager anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I think we are in a false position, we're definitely not the worst side in the league but i do think we need a few players in january but whether lerner will sanction them is another matter altogether 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted November 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2015 There was an article in the Obsever this morning about us, and it mentioned January transfers. It said that we should prioritise a short term fix to try and avoid relegation rather than try and add to the long term philosophy of the club's future... It's hard to know what's for the best but I would be inclined to agree. Not that I don't want to see a clear direction for the club with transfers, but if we get a relatively expensive but proven striker in January, that could make all the difference. Not that I think that would compromise the club's future, just that getting someone reasonably proven, And/or experiences player could really help out. But trying to find the next Benteke in January might prove a risk too far. That's if Randy opens his wallet at all, I really hope he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread, but Garde was quoted in an interview recently saying he doesn't want to buy any French players as there are enough in the team already.I agree that we shouldn't solely look in France, but I also think we do need someone, be it a keeper or a striker, and I would hope that he wouldn't simply rule out a promising prospect just because he's French. I'm not worried though, I imagine he was just saying what he thinks makes sense at this moment in time, but come January, he'll aim to bring in what we need without any restrictions, nationality-wise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Its obvious we need another striker as Kozak has disappeared, and Gabby is past it. It would be great if we could get Austin- but I can't see that happening. I would take Wilson on loan from United though. From the one game (!) so far it looks like Garde likes the ball to feet so another big target man looks unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'd like us to get a tricky Payet/ Tevez/ Aguero type. Low centre of gravity, bundles of energy, bags of skill and an eye for a goal. He could replace Sinclair in yesterday's line up (sorry Scotty, I like you, but you're next for the chop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I suspect we may be giving Wenger a call to see if they can loan us a player or two that they are not expecting to use in 2016. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted November 9, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2015 We need Cheick Diabate. He's a monster, can finish, can take penalties like Balotelli. Would go a long way to filling the gap left by Benteke imo. I think he'd be so so good in the Premier League.Here's an OYT.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkg5lLz1zKY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him doing the business for us and would be a decent cheap option in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Garde has been sitting around watching football and chatting to his high-flying football mates for over an ear. I fancy he might have one or two ideas about where to find a woefully underrated inexpensive young beast of a striker, and one or two similar ideas as well. (Diabate might be one of them ) Edited November 10, 2015 by CrackpotForeigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted November 10, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2015 A striker, eh? Michu as a stop-gap solution, perhaps? Just been released from Swansea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
