I hope our recruitment team realize we need upgrades in most positions even if many fans don't. In Trez's case I think he's done enough to warrant a squad place. Unlike El Ghazi, his attitude is spot on and his goals have kept us up. I 100% want a better player starting. Wesley, same thing applies in terms of wanting a better starter. Maybe his attitude needs work but way too early to write him off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have done the business this season. Watkins seems quite fast and that’s definitely something we lack up top as an option . we already have similar strikers to Mitrovic all be it not as physical or prolific ideally we’d want better than both but if we lost Samatta and replaced him with Watkins i think that would be seen as a huge upgrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Mitrovic will never be a decent PL striker. Watkins could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rate" Wes, posters like myself and a few others think it's too early to be giving him the stick he gets from most posters. He gets bashed 90 percent of the time, however some acknowledge that we paid 22 mill for him, is injured ( So ain't going anywhere anytime soon anyway) and maybe gets a clean slate when he comes back. 99 percent of us agree that we need a new striker. "Rate" Trez, have you read his thread, match threads or post match threads? Most of us are well aware of how limited he has been, but appreciate the fact that what he lacks in quality he makes up for with heart and fight, plus self explanatory fact that he has scored some HUGE goals and a large part of the reason we are safe. 99 percent of us acknowledge that we need new forwards and wingers.

Pretty lazy post. Lol Not a lazy post in the slightest. This thread has so many posters saying we don't need many signings, and who are content with the likes of Trez, Wesley and others. Yes, they scored a few goals, but they're poor footballers. That's not me giving them stick, as it's not their fault; they're just not good enough for where we want to be. If we didn't have Jack Grealish, we would've been absolutely rooted to the bottom of the table. That's the level of squad we have. I really hope Dean et al know how much of an upgrade is required. Thankfully, I think they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe his attitude needs work but way too early to write him off. Have to agree. Whilst never being much of a fan of Trez, I don’t think anyone can question his workrate, willingness & desire. He definitely has the right attitude and he obviously possesses a goal threat. I’ve started to change my mind (the goals certainly help ) as I valued El Ghazi more for his superior technical ability but I have been really disappointed with him this season. Was quite fond of Anwar last season and he really impressed in the play off final. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been able to sustain those levels (let alone progress or exceed them). He seems a fairly fragile personality, lacks confidence, belief and most of all consistency. I was appalled at his behaviour against Southampton... that really bothered me. He doesn’t seem to have what it takes at this level. Trez can improve but he should be no more than a backup if we want to have a decent side & season. Maybe its time to bid farewell to El Ghazi, we can’t carry players now - particularly those with weak personality and major inconsistency. Nyland is even worse in that regard and must be moved on. I keep thinking and saying it but this squad needs MASSIVE improvement... don’t think I can bear another season of such struggle either.

Popular Post Ben Posted July 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2020 My first ever post: I think we need to take advantage of the lack of money in the Spanish league at the moment. The big clubs have lots of smashing young players we should loan(reduce risk) to buy. Like Kubo and Diaz from Madrid to add quality to the wings and try throw money at them for odegaard . Fripo, Tobida in defence and raphina for a goalscoring midfielder from Barca. These clubs need to sell to invest so could be got at bargin prices. Players like trez and el ghazi lack composure, quality and will never take us to the level we all want to be at 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ben Posted July 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2020 Thank you, delighted to be involved, I completely agree, for too long we have wasted money on bad to decent players. The last signed player I was excited about was adama but unfortunately we hadn't got the intelligence to bring out the best in him or realize how good he was..if Jack is gonna stay at statement of intent from the owners is needed 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope our recruitment team realize we need upgrades in most positions even if many fans don't. I don't know that Wes is going to be great, but he's 22 and was just playing his first season in the Premier League. In his first 7 matches he had 1.2 xG or 0.17 xG per match. In his last 14 matches he had 4.2 xG or 0.30 xG per match. Not world beater, but definitely trending the correct direction. With Trez, I think he's a perfectly suitable backup option at this level. Relying on him to play 70 minutes per match won't get you far, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hong0311 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 If Brentford is up, chances of Benrahma coming will be extremely slim right? I can't recall a promoted team letting their star player out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForfarVillan Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Would like to see us look at the Japanese market (I've said this for a few years) They are producing a lot of talented youngsters and even have some players well into their 20s that could thrive in European/British football. Germany has dipped into that market a lot and it has often paid off for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bargain at £20M, lots of growth left in him as a player and knows how to create chances in a struggling Prem team. Hopefully we won’t be, but the point is he’s shown the mental strength to dig in and keep fighting - unlike El Ghazi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eze’s not a winger and Sarr won’t go for less than £30M (Watford paid £27M) and possibly more imo - he’s a great option if we can afford him.
