There's no obvious player in PL or other leagues of any worth that we'd even want that would sign to sit on the bench that we'd pay stupid money for. Actually please say Josh King I think we should go for Josh king. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't FIFA on the PlayStation No one has said it is FIFA on the PlayStation. To think we might have a striker lined up, baring in mind the alternative in case of injury is Davis, who can't score. Traore? Yes, could do a job but it's possible we have more than 1 injury or suspension at a time. If that happens, we are extremely light. I don't get the quite patronising and sarcastic reply in all honesty, when the more sensible thing is we bring a striker in as cover. It's possible for it to happen, y'know. Do you think we are going to be starting Sanson, Luiz, mcginn and Barkley in the same game? No, thought not. I'm not saying it's going to happen, more that I think it's possible we will look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith identified Traore as option when we signed him. 71 games 38 goals 11 assists at CF albeit people have said he played in 2 forward system. Club clearly bought him with that versatility in mind and already clear he knows how to score. Was actually played as forward at Chelsea. 2 goals in 6 appearances.

We are left with Davis again with NOTHING else. We've been lucky with injuries so far, compared to other teams. It IS possible for 2 players to get injured you know.

sne Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Doubt Palace would let him go this window but Tyrick Mitchell on a free transfer this summer might not be a terrible solution as backup/competition for Targett at LB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club in PL would struggle with these hypothetical multiple injuries. What if Liverpool lost Salah and Mane. What if what if what if.

This is just unnecessary self flagellation They would have minamino, Curtis Jones, shaqiri, origi, firmino, diogo Jota fighting it out. Lets say we lose Watkins and Grealish (picking our 2 most important players as you did with Liverpool) we have left, traore, el ghazi, trez and Davis. Slight difference there, don't you think. I think 90% of premier League clubs have more options than us going forward. Name another premier league club and I'll do the same for you if you like. It's not 'self flagellation' at all, it's trying to give us the best chance of progression. Why do you seem so against the idea of giving us a bigger, better squad to help us progress? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol absolute junk right there.

Not against it at all but we've got to run before we can walk. Klopp took several years to assemble the squad not coming off the back of near relegation and FFP to deal with and Liverpool brand unfortunately is massive draw relative to us Edited January 31, 2021 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly trez. Look it's a silly argument. We're talking numbers here and how short we are with a couple of injuries based on how sarcastic you are to people suggesting we bring in a striker. I feel like my job is done here as I've proven, with your assistance, how short we are with a couple of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always rated El Ghazi even when he got crucified by some. Let's see how Spurs and Leicester do without Kane and Vardy if we're benchmarking. Leicester have goals in midfield just like we do. It's just complaining for the sake of complaining like the hysterical shrieking on match thread about subs like people willing an equaliser so can say told you so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned him the other day there in response to a good post made by @John a few pages back. I know @Villan4Life has highly rated him for a few months too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 We now only have 23 players in our squad (excluding youth) 2 of those haven’t played in a year and one is Steer. Not a slight but meant as 3rd choice keeper. Trust Lange, Mackenzie, Purslow & Smith completely. One more would be nice though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
