He may like playing CM but he has been playing best in the left/cutting inside position. Agreed. But one issue- if he’s an inside forward he needs to get on the scoresheet much more often, particularly if Wes is reverting to his deep role. If not we’ll be way too reliant on our midfield scoring goals. Edited November 28, 2019 by HKP90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjvilla Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Bruce took Bowen to Hull from Hereford too so I guess that would add to the Newcastle rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, from what I can find the club signed him for their academy while Bruce was manager and he was moved to the senior side the season after Bruce quit. Bit of a lazy link but I suppose he might have trained with the senior team under Bruce. Edited November 28, 2019 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a fair return to me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically he didn’t he was signed from Hereford in 2014 as an u18 player and was signed by academy manager Tony Pennock when Hereford were expelled from the league.

mikeyp102 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Smith and Suso both seem to know the Belgian market well. Smith said he’d wanted Engels for a while and obviously Wes and Marvellous also came from that league. So who is pulling up trees out there atm and also fits our profile of signings?

Roman Yaremchuk maybe. 24 y.o Ukrainian attacker/wide forward. 9 in 14 They guy who leads the scoring chart is 34 so probably wont be signing that guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 An old stager who can come in and do a job for 6 - 12 months and bang in the goals. In days gone by you would get a James Beattie, Les Ferdinand, Kevin Campbell. I don't know who the equivalent is nowadays but that is what we need. What's Kevin Phillips up to?

thunderball Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Theres a few wingers/forwards we were loosely linked with in the summer who play in Belgium and Holland, can't recall their names but they were decent enough when I checked them out. All would be less than £20m, maybe we will see Suso look at this market again for reinforcements? Edited November 28, 2019 by thunderball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if we have any forum users based in Canada but Cyle Larin is currently in the Belgian league. He had a ridiculous good scoring record at Orlando City (mind you Almrion scored a few in the MLS) then went to Beskitas but couldn't get a regular run, 5 goals in 18 games. Moved on loan to Zulte Wageram and it's going well, 7 goals in 16 games so far. Maybe one to take a punt on as more a replacement for kodjia/Davis than the new first choice striker. Berahino actually plays for the same club... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At AZ there’s Boadu and Idrissi who seem talented young forward players. in belgium maybe Jonathan David, Diatta or Chadli (old but still doing a very good job for Anderlecht). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Would love us to sign Allan Saint-Maximin off Newcastle if they are relegated if he works at his end product he will be some player. Also Jetro Willems could be worth a look to challenge Targett at left back . He is only on loan to the barcodes from Eintracht Frankfurt Edited November 30, 2019 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
