But we already have him, and he played in 37/38 games for us last year. I just don't see the need to spend that amount of money on a backup striker (when we've played with mostly 1 up top) while we have FFP enacted. That’s not the point that was being made, the point made was that £40m for Abraham was too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to get caught up in the personal opinions section of why we should or not buy anyone, that's for the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompedyret Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Been gone a few days, was hoping for more juicy rumors, spectacular ITK facts or at least a couple of big buys! Is nothing happening on the Odsonne Édouard front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct but at the same time, you’re doing someone like Emile Heskey a disservice. Heskey used to do the hard work, so that other players could flourish. Target men are so few and far in between these days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2021 I saw a thing to say Crystal Palace are releasing 22 players, so thought that we could perhaps pick up a player on a free that could help add squad depth… here’s the list: Brandon Aveiro, Lewis Bryon, Gary Cahill, Nathaniel Clyne, Scott Dann, Kian Flanagan, Kevin Gonzalez, Harlem Hale, Stephen Henderson, Wayne Hennessey, Lewis Hobbs, Rohan Luthra, Alfie Matthews, James McCarthy, Jacob Russell, Jude Russell, Mamadou Sakho, Andros Townsend, Patrick van Aanholt, Joel Ward, Connor Wickham, Samuel Woods. … but I don’t think there any any there that would be worth going for and that would improve our squad much.

Yeah, for the wages most of those would want I’d rather us take a chance on two younger prospects and see how they progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
