useless Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 After all the doubting, I'd laugh if it was someone genuinely world class now. Hope it's Martinez (although I've never seen him play). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2016 I googled it, will be Klose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Were we not linked with a Portuguese striker earlier on in the window? Not playing in China but playing for one of the big Portuguese clubs, possibly Porto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just dont seem to be creating chances at the moment. McCormack hasnt had too many.. We need a creative link in midfield. Having a more mobile CF than Gestede will on its own create more space for the others to play. This will help them create more chances We aren't taking enough of those chances but as for creating them have you watched us recently? We always look like scoring and are getting better at creating. Hopefully we keep adding to the squad. I'd want a wide creative player and a CF to replace Gestede. The best thing is RDM seems to know what we need and I think we'll get them in.

Was just thinking this myself, I think anything the good doctor tweets can be taken with a huge pinch of five spice in reality, a lot of his interactions get lost in translation. A few people (not just on VT) need to realise this and not take everything quoted as gospel..... ...... (It's going to be Ronaldo isn't it?!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, not having that at all. We are in the Championship and have literally just had a donkey up front for 70 minutes against Derby, but you'd say no to a player that's scored over 100 goals (at a higher level) in the last 4 or 5 years and was considered to be worth roughly £30 million by one of the best teams in the world just last summer. Hilarious. Yes, not for me. That's why I said it. We are trying to rid the team of players with poor attitudes. You watch a lot of Jackson Martinez? I watched him for half a season at Atletico and he got shipped out in January. Just because a player has a good reputation doesn't mean he is a good fit for every team.

I saw somebody say that they wouldn't have him a few pages ago. I feel like you'd have to be a special kind of wonky in the brain to not want Bony here. It's not even remotely realistic of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 With a new 'world class striker' and a new right back, we should piss this league. Some of the teams in the championship are dreadful. Even the better teams look dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted August 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2016 Did I mention Klose already? The 38-year old German international ruled out a return to Bundesliga in Germany next year. He is coming off of a season in Italy in which he scored eight goals in 30 league games. He insisted after this past season ended that he wanted to “continue scoring goals.” http://mlsmultiplex.com/2016/07/28/could-miroslav-klose-be-coming-to-mls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Honestly don't know what to make of the Docs comments but I do get the impression that he's willing Roberto to go after the players he wants to help fix the squad. The fact that it's the owner saying this sort of stuff is encouraging because it at least shows intent. I to agree that I don't think there's an exact budget for Roberto to work by, seems we're willing to splash the cash if we feel the need. Who he's on about is anyone's guess though.

There was a a link if i remember correctly but the baggied have a £20m plus bid rejected by SP, seems destined for the PL by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
