Popular Post grobs Posted September 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2020 I seem to be on my own with this opinion but I would be quite happy with Callum Wilson. Adds some much needed pace to our forward line and also is a great finisher. The only concern is his injury record. Spurs wanted him last season I think. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serves us right for not paying the money last year if that's what happens (although I don't want it to). I'm still screwing that we didn't pony up to get Philips out of Leeds too, some bad decisions made in that window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins isnt but is probably better than trez aeg and jota. Also can float woth the idwa of two up top now more easily than before He has 1 season where he scored double figures in the PL, 1 where he did it in the Championship and 1 where he did it in League 1. And "probably better than Jota, Trez and El Ghazi" is frankly not good enough for me if we are to spend £25m-£30m on Watkins to play him wide. We need at least 1 much higher quality wide player and also a specialist striker with a real eye for goal. These 2 would be massively expensive squad options. Just better than what we have should not be enough if we are spending the sums mentioned. We need much better than what we have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s not necessarily about Wilson as a player because his skill set fits the bill. Its more about the overall message it sends if we sign him. We like to believe the club are looking to sign young players on the up rather than late twenties and just been relegated types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still time but ideally we would like to see some activity sooner rather than later. Fwiw, I do think we will see something transpire this week. I'd like it if we didn't have to play Trez or El Ghazi in our first game, as we had signed better players beforehand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just got yourself in a huff on an assumption you've made up in your head. When it actually happens then get in a huff. Why would you get yourself worked up on something that hasn't happened yet? I don't get it. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one abs a clue what's going on really. But judging by what's been said McGinn etc. Our owners are ambitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Wilson would be a useful signing, but they must be having a laugh if he they think they can get 30 million for him. 20 mil tops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howpfully those are behind him now. He was heavily linked with chelsea and spurs the season before so he does have that quality. I think it all comes down to what we can attract. We still finished 17th so even though we have money we wont be able to attract that 'elite' player just yet. Im happy to settle with watkins as he looks young hungry and knows how to score. I think we need to add premier league experience to the squad though. Thats essential for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 A good Callum Wilson is better then what we have but the issue is which CW would we get, same as Tekkers, I'd love him him back if he was on it but its just such a gamble and that's how I see CW. Tammy is the one we should move mountains for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 To be on the spot I would hate it if we have to rely on the Wingers and Strikers we had last season (Grealish excluded). Wont be pleased one bit, three signings, three god damn bloody signings in place of Ghazi, Trezegeut and Samatta. Because Grealish is on the left, even if it is just a right winger and a striker, with a midfielder, again just three signings. Starting to feel like mission impossible at signing anyone quality wise. I can see a scenario here where Leeds come up and do better than us this season, because we didn't get anyone who could fit the squad we wont be climbing any ladder. It's the one club I do not want to see do well and yet I feel Bielsa will have them do a good run. We are not equipping ourselves properly for this season, time is getting shorter and shorter. We need quality and yes it takes time to route out, but it's all going to run down to the last week isnt it. People have expressed any players joining wont have time to relax and bed in, were really are playing all this to relaxed I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) We all seem to have opinions on strikers, wide players and full back etc that we want. The other critical position we need is a new quality MC, although not much talk about it. Which quality MCs do people think we should be going for? (realistic targets) Edited September 1, 2020 by MaVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
