Wainy316 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 It was very apparent last night that a striker needs to be made an absolute priority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Gestede is useless. He won't be repeating that one-off season he had for Blackburn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn are clearly evil geniuses. They also somehow managed to turn the up-til-then completely impotent Roque Santa Cruz into a prolific goalscorer too. Never buy strikers from Blackburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 A striker and two wide attackers are imperative. Two fullbacks would also be nice. We need 5 players minimum and the lack of activity is a little scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 We don't need 2 wingers. We need 1 full back IMO. A striker, 1 wide player and a full back would be ideal for me but a striker and wide player would be my preference if I had to choose 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) We have wingers. Adama, Sinclair, Ayew plays on the wing (or did last year), Grealish plays there. Then you have youth players who will get a chance, like Green. You're saying we don't have a single winger?

Delphinho123 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Adama, injured all the time. Grealish, definitely not a winger. Sinclair, crap and will be sold. Ayew, probably not best to play our best striker on the wing. Unless Adama is fit and with us in August, no, I don't think we have one decent winger. I hope Green comes good but a lot of faith to have in a player that is untested. We struggled all last season with out lack of width and relied to heavily on our fullbacks to provide it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, as I don't know what he's good at. I'd like him alongside a Jedinak type though if at all possible. That would give me a warm fuzzy feeling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I think Tsh plays a bit higher up the field to be honest, he's a proper MC but expect him to be bombing forward as opposed to holding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
