I’d personally take the chance for a year with no transfer fee. It would also take some pressure off Watkins too. I understand that his association with Small Heath would be too much for many though. In 163 games excluding penalties Deeney has scored 29 goals and that is a good enough reason in itself why we should'nt and won't go near him!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I would like us to bring in an experienced CB to play alongside Mings, and to help bring the best out of Konsa. Much like how Leicester have done with Johnny Evans. No idea who though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Rashica it would be Rashica, Watkins and Grealish. We are still waiting on other targets this window so some of the others might be at risk.

I’m not convinced by either Engels or Hause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez500 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I don't think McGinn's spot is as nailed down as it once was. His drop off in form since injury has been startling. I'm hoping a pre season will sort him out but as he didn't start for Scotland the other night it gives me an impression he isn't quite there yet.

He's more than capable of attacking on the other side. There's flexibility because Grealish can drop into Buendia's position, Buendia could move further up on the right with Benrahma switching to the left. They're not set in stone roles. The ability to switch is the main appeal to me. Ok don’t get me wrong I do want us to have a flexible attack that switches position and would love to see all these players signed... what you can’t have though is too many roamers - because then when you lose the ball and a bunch of them are on the left wing you get pulled apart down your right side. I just had flashbacks to N’Zogbia constantly being wherever he wanted to be and his fullback getting doubled up on... As I say though I’d love either or both of those players... think if either was happening though it would have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Could really do with some bigger presence in midfield I think, too powder puff as it stands, we need a Matic type in there, big and nasty. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Buendia like 3 ft 6 ? AMC, winger etc I guess i'd be ok with, but seriously, Buendia suggested as a CM? Have people watched us play? Yeah I get that, but another train of thought is you don’t necessarily need to win headers in midfield, just make sure you’re first to the ball off whoever does win the header (something along with throw ins we’ve never seemed good at). Wolves as an example of a good passing team with relative success don’t seem to have tall imposing midfielders, maybe I’m wrong on that, but they don’t look it (what I’ve seen of them). Ball playing midfielders that keep hold of the ball/use it well can be far more effective than a Brute of a midfielder who’s second touch is a tackle, but get a tall, imposing, powerful, skillfull good passer then win win (hopefully we’re doing this) There’s also the set pieces and requiring enough tall players to chip in I guess so yeah he could be a bit short for us with the rest of our team taken into account - good call.

He was arguably our best player the last couple of games - Arsenal especially. It just took him a few to get up to speed. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are penalties excluded? If we retain the most fouled player in the league next season then a good penalty taker would be a good thing wouldn’t it? Even excluding penalties that’s about 8 goals a season. He’d be top scorer for us with that, with penalties to go on top. Win win. As I said, I don’t expect the majority to be in the same page as me. I just thought for little financial risk an experienced striker in this league might be a useful addition on a short term deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The table I saw said 3. I’d take 8+3 goals from a backup/second striker all day long. 11 goals, no transfer fee and a bit of leadership and nastiness too. Maupay, Pulisic, Firmino, Giroud, Callum Wilson, Diogo Jota a few players who scored less than him last year.

John Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 If Martinez goes the same way as the link to Romero, has anyone got any thoughts on less costly signings, that would be willing to move to us and could do a solid job, until Heaton is match fit? How about Bartosz Bialowski from Milwall or Marko Marosi from Coventry for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you get 8 a season because that's over 5 and a half seasons of playing for Watford which calculates at about 5 goals a season (nowhere near Wesleys average) Anyway it's a complete non starter - Thank McGrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
