We need to spend money on at least one inside forward also, probably cant spare the cash for two strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I reckon we could get Bowen for £12m-£15m. They may have an option to extend his contract by 1 year, but he will be in a stronger position in the summer and his price will drop significantly. If we can bring in some extra funds by shipping out Kodjia that would be a useful £20k to put towards any deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not implying he can or cant, just curious as to opinions? He isnt particularly "skillful", just seems to have a knack for goals? Not sure if i would prefer Benrahma, but....he doesnt seem the type of player to work hard?, we need our front 3 to put a shift in as well as do the skill stuff. Yes, he will make it in the premier league IMO and just the type of player we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermon Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Go get Mitrovic, Wesley's injury has further exacerbated the need now. Hopefully Wes isn't out too long 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cizzler Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 We need a new right back and a new left back. Not one of Elmo, Guillbert, Taylor or Targett is good enough. Targett is probably the best footballer of the 4, but just has absolutely no bottle for this relegation fight we’re in (the ‘injuries’ against Wolves and now Watford irk me). He isn’t good defensively anyway. We also need a striker. Whether Wes is seriously injured or not, Kodjia is just not up to it and Davis is far too unproven (and to be honest has never looked like a natural finisher). If we don’t target these three positions with heavy investment, I think staying up will be a real struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play 5 at the back then we can get to the end of the season with what we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted January 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2020 Would love to get Nahki Wells from QPR but I think he’d be expensive, him and another quick striker would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Go and get Tuanzebe, Hudson Odoi and Batshuayi on loan. Spend the money we have on Bowen and/or Benrahma on a perm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Bt sport saying heaton has ruptured acl and looking at about a year out - we need to loan a quality keeper if possible - not keen on Nyland as 1st choice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched Hudson Odoi a number of times since the hype about him, he’s good don’t get me wrong but I haven’t seen anything to justify the hype.

useless Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Wells is actually owned by Burnley, so very doubtful that they'd sell him to us, he'd only scored eight goals before today and is 29 so probably need better anyway. If Wesley is injured probably need two strikers, or we'll have to make our winger target someone who can play both on the wing or upfront Really could do without these injuries, needed four or five singings as it was.

osmark86 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 wesley and heaton injuries today really has took a bit of the positivity surrounding the result out of the equation for me. january will be crucial imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t look at his age, but assumed he was younger. At 29 I agree, he’s not done enough to be on our radar, ignore me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, these injuries are making our squad very thin atm and in very important positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
