We can find a suitable replacement for half the price (and possibly wages) Even if people are adamant that we need another striker, we don't have to buy an expensive player we could get an old pro or someone on a free transfer on a 1 year deal. I don't like him but Josh King is out of contract at the end of the season and there is always old pro's available every year.https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/endendevertraege/wettbewerb/GB1/plus//galerie/0?jahr=2021&ausrichtung=alle&spielerposition_id=14&altersklasse=alle&land_id=0&yt0=Show That's the premier league strikers out of contract this summer plus King who is classed as a second striker.

thunderball Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) We will defo be in for a striker. We were very serious for Callum Wilson in the Summer and he elected to join NUFC when he had an offer from us, we quickly secured Watkins thereafter but Watkins was always number 1 choice so we were getting both if it had gone to plan. Nothing has really changed: Wesley remains an unknown until he hopefully gets up to speed, they won’t risk all that investment going to waste if Watkins gets injured and we have no forward worthy of leading the line.

useless Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Davis should be demanding to go out on loan, he needs game time, this season he's only played 334 minutes of football in all competitions, that's less than four games worth, another season like that will be detrimental to his progress and development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going for another striker, then I'd rather us go in and get Ivan Toney and throw some money Brentfords way. Toney plays as a first and second striker, 44 appearances, 30 goals and 10 assist, you can't ignore that given how successful Watkins has been for us.

It tells me that while Everton have been playing worse than us that despite there form that King has been struggling to impress to get into the first team for a full 90 minutes. It would be like bringing Benteke back here, it just won't work out I don't think. Edited May 5, 2021 by Dave-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty tellling aswell after finally scoring in premier league he only got the last 5 minutes at the weekend. Game was poised for 1-1 for ages so he could've come on at the hour mark but didn't.

I am even more curious as to whether Smith has had any time with Toney while he was at Brentford if so then he will know the lad personally.

VillaChris Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Toney would cost nearly as much as Tammy surely? They sold us Ollie for nearly 30m and Toney scoring record is better plus I reckon Peterbrough have bigger sell on clause than Exeter did aswell. No chance they'll sell if they come up either. I think we'll sign a striker in 15-20m range or even perhaps season long loan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Brentford would want as much for Toney as we paid for Watkins, if not more, and despite more goals from what I've seen Watkins looks the better all round player. If you were going to spend that much on Toney you'd might as well just go for Abraham who is a similar type of player, but younger and proven in the premier league. Dike is the championship strikey I'd look at. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton have been poor for abit now, since we got Covid around that time, you wod just think that somewhere they would of given king a chance.
