Feels to me like we are doing more than enough up front to stay up. The real question for me is what is missing that we’ve been unable to maintain leads. Is that just experience and time - I think so? let's knock off the 1 vs spurs too then cause it was basically just a consolation in the end...must put us in bottom half now right? new forward needed!! in all seriousness, i think we will always ship goals. its the nature of how we play. the intensity throughout the game knackers them out. being unable to maintain the leads has been due to poor in game management (arsenal) and individual defensive errors (burnley). i would say that having a goalscorer to bring on vs burnley we'd have won that game, as we bascially played with 10 men that day. i hope wesley has turned a corner, but the cynic in me says he will be inconsistent in terms of effort. sometimes he'll be up for it, some he wont. we just need that option for when he's not.

Odsonne Edouard in my opinion higher potential, better attitude higher work rate. He's also 2 years younger..

villalad21 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'd like us to sign Emi Buendia. Cracking player. Would improve our depth on the wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Patson Daka a 21 year old Zambian International Striker for (FC Red Bull Salzburg) striker could be worth a look for us. He has impressed me so far this season. 9 in 9 so far in Austrian Bundesliga. Edited October 9, 2019 by Villan4Life 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 His teammate Takumi Minamino is likely to be more available and would be a fantastic purchase. We can get him if we're midtable by January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Routs inflate your goal tally. Three 4-0 wins with three losses without scoring has the same number of goals as six 2-0 wins. I’d take the latter!

Dave-R Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) I believe in Wes, no striker to replace but do think we need another high quality striker and let both Wes and the new man slug it out for the place. 50% ratio so far, can't throw a player out of the striker position on that, it just it will be great to sign another considering the rest we have I don't think can do the job other than Wes.

Yes routs inflate a goal tally, which is a bonus as it affects your goal difference, which at the end of a season can have the effect of an additional point . But why would you dismiss goals you have scored in a rout? As for winning six over winning of course you’d take the six wins as would anyone, that’s an entirely different point you are now making (sorry if I’ve misunderstood what you’re trying to say).

Seem like a long shot to me. He's playing in a weak league. Would be a bit of a gamble for big clubs. Think Aston Villa would be a good stepping stone for him.

sne Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 He's being linked to both Manchester clubs. Manure due to OGS and City due to his dad. Talk being that Jesus is unhappy about his playing time and looking to move and Haaland is seen as someone with potential who can develop until Aguero can't hold the fine for them. Think he'd be a very interesting signing for us, but doubt he'll end up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi wanted him out and Pep obliged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
