Mazrim Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Bowen is a must. We should have signed him in the summer. I'd take him over Trez and El Ghazi combined. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Snoddy but his time at VP has passed True but I’d like someone who could settle and make an instant impact, not against foreign players at all but Id rather we sign talent thats already playing in england it obvious every club has mini social groups Im sure everybody gets along but you can tell that, Jack , Mcginn , Connor and Targget get along well as do Luiz and Wes with each other we need someone who can instantly link with jack with no cultural shock of moving to Birmingham , Bowen hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I actually see the need to get another striker but to play alongside Wesley instead of in place of him. he’s not a target man but does have his qualities and think he’d blossom alongside a poacher in the style of Defoe.

A'Villan Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Just your average paper talk: Apparently 'leading' the chase for Benrahma (that would be fantastic), and have sent scouts to La Liga games. Also reading we are 'heavily' interested in Mitrovic, and are in talk about a Werder Bremen forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 32 and so it would need to be free and on a short term basis but he could play the role that we need him to play very well in my opinion. It would also be hilarious to witness the meltdown on here if we signed a striker who threatens the goal even less than Wesley . He nearly always scores vs Villa. its a good reason to sign him to stop him playing vs us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The good thing about Mitrovic is that even if we went down he'd destroy the Championship again. He's going to be too expensive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the cost of relegation I’d say mitrovic would be a must - the owners have the cash and he could very well be the difference between survival and relegation - he’s that good and I believe the perfect fit for us Edited December 27, 2019 by Eastie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Can't see why Mitrovic would leave a team that has a good chance of getting promoted in a couple of months for a team that has a good chance of going down in a couple of months, not to mention the fact that even if Fulham were interested in selling him they'd want at least £30m and that's probably a low estimate, and I doubt they'd be open to a loan with an option to buy they'd want the money straight away, and there would probably be better placed teams than us interested anyway. I actually think we'd have a better chance of signing Batshuayi than Mitrovic, Chelsea would be more open to selling once they've brought in a striker, and we'd might get him on a loan with an option to buy which will probably suit us better.

PaulC Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 January is always a difficult transfer window with availability and inflated prices. No idea who we should get but it’s obvious the positions that need strengthening but we can’t afford to loose Grealish either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Ivan Toney - ST Mounir Chouiar - LW Wylan Cyprien - CM That'd be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham are way off the top two and are doing poorly. The quality from 3rd onwards is so poor this year in the Championship. He'd jump at the chance of leaving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 But in joining us he'd be joining a club that doesn't look like it has a much better chance of being in the premier league next season. Regardless of whether he'd join us or not, I don't think there's any chance of it happening anyway because of the fee that would be involved, if we're to sign a striker with a market value of £30m plus then I think it's going to have to be a loan deal with an option to buy, something I'm rather sure that Fulham will not be open to.

Why would it have to be a loan deal ? The owners have pumped plenty money into the club and if they feel he is the player needed may well be prepared to bankroll the signing - quality players in January cost big money and we may need to spend big to survive .

useless Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) A loan deal with an option to buy is still spending big as you still have to pay the transfer feel eventually, doing it that way can work out better with FFP.. With that sort of deal we could probably bring in a better striker than we could by spending around £20m on someone, it's what Wolves did when they signed Jiménez. If we've got scope to just go and just buy someone for £30m plus, all well and good, but with FFP I doubt we can do that so have to find work arounds.

Fulham aren't gonna sell Mitrovic to us in Jan for anything but obscene money, if they are even willing to sell him at all. The gains they would make and the losses they would avoid from gtting promoted after only one season in the Championship would be enormous and they clearly think Mitrovic is central to that. Normally, I'd say he's a 30million pound striker but at this point he's far more valuable to Fulham than that.
