Id say we would stand a decent chance getting him on loan. Would certainly be a quality addition, probably the best of the available talent for me. Yes that is a concern. If I had the choice of ings or ulloa i would go for ulloa every time on loan. i think he is achievable and he is around the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have nothing against Bruce being „General Manager“ or DoF if it meant using his experience and advantages for the footballing side of the club. As long as we had a „Coach“ Head Coach or whatever the title is who designated a playing style, picked the tactics and team, Choose player targets and took training (picking his assistants & coaching staff) Bruce is finished as a manager, as an experienced figure at a club no. But dictating the football, well and truly bust. Edited December 11, 2017 by Grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this level he would do well. It is still a risk though considering how bad he has been for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Would Berahino really suit our "style of play"? Also his attitude is questionable and he's only played 250 minutes of football this season, and not much last season either. Scoring a whopping 0 goals during that time. No thanks for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Keane proved a hit a few years back so maybe one or two from there for a few months. Giovinco and Altidore led the line for the champions Toronto. Just a thought. Cyle Larin of Orlando City i feel would be a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 There's a chap Hogan who has proved to be a decent striker in the Championship, we should get him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted December 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hadn’t realised Grabban has 11 goals this season already. Wouldn’t be a bad option to bring in if possible. He’s fit and scoring. Just what we need!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
