Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted January 1, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2020 There's a genuine case to be made that we need two forwards, a winger and a central midfielder in order to stay up. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted January 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2020 Whether we spend £35m on some European wonder striker or we sort a loan for someone like Batsuayhi/Giroud, I think we need whatever winger we get in to be able to also play up top to provide cover. Getting someone like Bowen in would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Saw some reports that we are looking at Daniel Sturridge, not sure how I feel about that, I guess I wouldn't mind but only if we got another striker in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on a link in newsnow, 1 site just mentions he has 4 goals in 6 games and we should look at him. Looks like speculative journalism rather than we are actually linked to him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and that's just not going to happen which concerns me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Having looked at samatta again, for the €10 million he would cost, I would take the gamble. Then add another forward with prem experience. Cheap enough and scores with his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 4 months ago this thread started, that's 4 months of careful planning, searching, scouting, budgeting, sounding out agents, all the stuff teams get done in a couple weeks on occasion. Baffled as to why there was no striker in coming on 1st January 2020, we knew what we were going into the season with, wrs kodja and davis, we knew how many games we had, what each player gave to the team. It can be as simple as put in an offer its accepted and the player is signed. Seems all rather strange ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I would say we enquired for players and more than likely they have said No, believe Batsuhayi has no interest for example. We were never in a great negotiating position. The other thing is other players that we want probably will not be allowed leave by the current club Other teams that needed a striker havent bought one either, Palace only team to sign a striker so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Not surprising no striker wants to come really as the pressure is on! Really bad planning to go into the season so light in the forward department, almost careless to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we suddenly need a forward because wes is injured. We have always since the summer before the season started, needed an extra forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
