brummybloke Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Obviously gone but maupay would have suited our system perfectly. Looked dangerous today and looks like he will grab 15 plus goals for bha this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I don't think we need one in January. There are enough worse teams in the league to suggest we'll stay up. I do think we need one or two new strikers in the summer, when there will be more players available at better prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 not sure why Kodjia hasn't been on the bench if he has a protective mask? but anyway we sorely need to sign another striker in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we are 3 points from 2nd bottom, goals give you a better chance of staying up. I would prefer us to not have to rely on other teams being worse, rather us get to 40 points off our own bat. Having a more aggressive striker like mitrovic who can fight up front on his own to me seems now more than ever required. Even if he is bought just for the remainder of the season to as best as possible, insure our safety. Next season we can look to invest again in 1 or 2 proper upgrades.

AXD Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Bowen scored another 2 for hull this weekend. His contract is up at the end of the season, so hopefully we try to buy him for a small fee in january 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the one position I think we desperately need to sign. We have a hit and miss performer as first choice and an unproven struggling to score second choice. If we had signed Maupay I don't think this thread would have even been started. I know he's scored the same amount of goals as Wes, but in this team I reckon he would have had more.! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Just checked mitrovic stats, I want him even more now. If Fulham are not close to the top 6 by jan we really should try for him. As a lone striker able to hold, run, head,challenge, score he has already done it in the prem. 25 years old so while not the strict find a bargain and increase his value mold we are trying to get, is potentially the quick semi guaranteed goal getter required to give us the best chance of survival this season. Would still cost around 20 million but could save us a lot more than that by the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been question marks about his temperament though. He would be a good signing, but would cost much more than £20m, as Fulham signed him for just over that amount the summer they got promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll probably let him go in the summer if they don’t get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxfordVillan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 It’s my opinion that Mitrovic would go a long way to helping us secure a league finish somewhere between 9-12th, and I think we’d be safe from the relegation dogfight. As things currently stand with Wesley I think we’ll remain in the relegation mix all season as we drop too many points from games where everyone else’s performances should result with us earning points. We are 25% into the season and we can see that Wesley is not going to have the first season impact that Benteke had, he’s struggling. If we don’t purchase somebody such as a Mitrovic in January then we’d be gambling on staying up IMO. Plenty of time for Wesley to come good thereafter but we must cover ourselves in the meantime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 If we sign a new forward in January I imagine we'd either go for a cheaper, older striker to relieve Wesley, or for a different type of attacking player with more pace, mobility and technique that can also play wide. In the first category both Papiss Cisse and Artym Dzyuba are having great seasons and are sitting on expiring contracts. As is Zlatan We won't be signing any of these I imagine but I think we either go for a short term fix, Or more likely for a younger player in a mold we currently don't have one to help us change things up a bit. Benrahma, Brahim Diaz, Jarrod Bowen... Anyone starting with a B basically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Mitrovic will presumably have clauses in his contract, such as a relegation clause, or clauses which would ensure his fee isn't too high if they fail to go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 After ten games last season Mitrović had scored five goals only one better than Wesley has at the same point this season, and he'd also only provided one assist. He finished the season with eleven goals and three assists, also on three occasions he scored twice in one game, meaning that he only actually scored goals in eight premier league games last season. I don't think he's a bad player, but we shouldn't get carried away with the idea of signing him based off what he's doing in the championship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
