Tomaszk Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Gary Madine once scored 42 league goals in 39 games for my Sheff Wed side on FM. Get him in. Grabban would be a really useful all-rounder to bring in. The squad is there already, the extra forward will leave no doubt for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Don't know a great deal about Grabban, but he'd most certainly have the service to score goals with. Wait and see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 He’s quick as well which adds another dimension to our play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted January 31, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2018 If we sign him, I hope he starts by Grabban himself some goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Grabban was bloody good at villa park earlier innseason. I would definitely be happy with that if not afobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Always thought Grabban or Afobe would be perfect for where we are at....... both proven, both not gonna break the bank, if we go up and there’s a permanent deal In the offing, then they’ll be good options in prem, if we stay down, we’ve got a top championship striker for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Wolves being asked for £2m to bring in Afobe on loan according to Talk Sport which might be why we are looking at other options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Another one here who would be pleased if Grabban came off. Exactly what we need in that he shouldn't damage Hogans confidence but will push him/provide decent cover. But christ the optimism/confidence of VT today has me feeling queasy! Think we could do with a face slapping 0-0 against Burton to just add a bit of normality back to this place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously a top class championship striker but that's his ceiling. Like Gestede maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we add a striker I'll be very happy, if we sign a good left back too I'll be ecstatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a useful option to have as backup, but I'm sure we would be looking for a first team striker if we went up. if we could keep the core of Johnstone, Chester, Snodgrass, Grealish, Adomah and get Kodja firing again, that would be a great start. Supplement with with some quality signings and I would think we would be ok for a first season back in the PL. Anyways, long way to go in that race yet. Its a problem to worry about if/when we actually get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a very busy summer if we go up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The Mail are saying if Grabban doesn't happen there are other options we are looking at so its not Grabban or bust. I hope we get someone in as i think it could be the difference for 2nd and play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
