Wainy316 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Depending where we are come January we may have to divert slightly from our normal transfer model. A quick fix may be necessary, especially up front. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Pedro would be an awesome signing and a major goal threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick fix may be necessary, especially up front. You have to be pragmatic and adaptable. We need quality players who are ready to go right now and they're generally pretty expensive, unless you find one in a situation that favours us - Heaton was a good example of that.

It's Your Round Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I’d take Pedro in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Only issue I would have with Pedro is that he's had 2 Achilles injuries in the last year. Hopefully it's not an issue but at 32 it does worry a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Pedro is a winger isn't he? We need a damn striker. Pedro isn't the answer to the Wesley crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXD Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Still Bowen for me and a good proven striker 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Loan with option to buy is getting a more and more realistic and sensible option the further we slip down the table. Less risk for us and for any player who doesn't fancy the risk of playing in the Championship next season as that is a realistic risk. No idea who but I wouldn't be surprised to see us go down that route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Im probably on my own on this - but both fullbacks seem to struggle for me. I would like some more options here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Benteke would do well in our current side, could well be a shrewd signing on loan and could have a sort of master and apprentice relationship with Wesley. But Palace might be reluctant to let him join if they see us as rivals. Edited December 9, 2019 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I think the players we should be targeting in January are old experienced heads who have been there and done it. I don't want to trot out the "real men" yer da talk, but honestly....we need real men. Get Glenn Murray on the blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they will look for a player who we could sell on AND can help us maintain PL status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re right, but I doubt we will be looking to do anything in January, given the nature of the market and the issue of not making too many mid season changes.

HeyAnty Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Jimmy McCann @JamesMcCann74 Michy Batshuayi is a target for Aston Villa. They feel this is a genuine option.... loan deal being spoken about with option to buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year and a half left on his contract, not done enough to warrant a new contract so last chance for them to get significant money for him. Seems plausible and loan with option to buy if we stay in the PL is a sound strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 That sounds acceptable. At least he has experience of English football. Haven't seen a lot of him that must be said, so I youtubed him. Wasn't completely sold, but I'll give any striker a go at this point. After watching that I watched the Wesley video from Belgium and that was Salifou'esque. What were we thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
