Keyblade Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 2 minutes ago, Dr_Pangloss said: For me it's the pressure of staying up. A good striker would guarantee us surviving. Samatta and Davis don't really fill that gap for me. Samatta good but he's an unknown and looked very much off the pace. Davis for me won't score enough. I think our work this window is not really going to come close to guaranteeing us survival, it's going to be very tight. We've not struggled for goals this season. With Davis in the team I think we'll score even more, even if he doesn't get too many himself. Samatta, Davis, Baston is about as much as we could have hoped for after Wesley's injury imo. The club is just not going to be splashing the cash this window. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our work this window is not really going to come close to guaranteeing us survival, it's going to be very tight. But Samatta is the guy who was clearly signed to be our first choice striker, it’s fine not to agree with that but that is the choice the club has made. I don’t think anyone we signed could have guaranteed us survival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Just now, jacketspuds said: Not for me. I convinced myself we were signing nobody, so I'm **** elated. I’ve thought the same for the last two weeks. It was just at the start of the window I was overly hopeful. Ultimately I suppose I’d prefer to spend a few mill on a striker now that can help us scrape survival then go for a more ambitious target in the summer when the market is a bit easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like all players I’ll give him a chance before I declare he’s shit. same here, never heard of him. 15 in 36 in La Liga shows he isnt bad (and 22 in 36 in Liga 2 the previous year), but obviously struggled the last 4 years, wonder if he can find some form again!?

Definitely lacking quality in the forward areas, not just a striker who at least we have addressed but our wider players. Gonna be a tough few months.

MaVilla Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) saying Borjan on a free transfer? (contract runs out this summer) sounds a fair shot to take in the dark. Seems a bit, out of the blue, wonder if true? Edited January 31, 2020 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Antonee Robinsons move to AC Milan has collapsed. Quick, chuck in Taylor and see if we can get him on loan with an option to buy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I don't mind this for a late bit of cover to be honest. I doubt he'll start a game for us this season. The summer is when we cocked up and left ourselves with a mountain to climb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't buy this. We're in trouble if we go down regardless, staying up and thus giving ourselves the best chance to do so is the best thing we can do.
