useless Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) We've signed Coutinho, looks like we might be signing Kamara, we also brought in Digne, I don't think we're showing that kind of ambiton to then just leave the forward line as it is, I think we will bring in a striker and it will be another name to match the ambition of those previous names, wouldn't be surprised to see us break our transfer record on that position.

I wouldn’t mind having all of these options at our disposal. But it seems unlikely to me. To my knowledge there isn't a good player for a good price worth buying in the position anyway..... We missed out on Tammy last year which was the chance to sort that position out and brought Ings instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m inclined to agree (I said as much the other day in Tammy’s thread). I certainly don’t think it was an either/or situation with Ings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic bottle job, weak minded squid spines. I stand by what i said, half this team needs replacing this window. First and third goal was Buendia and Cash not taking responsibility for their respective men. Second Emi would have saved and Chambers should have made more of an effort to block it. I have just been watching the goals again and what I took from that period was we should have tried to retain the ball and sideways pass to simply recycle. The players couldn't keep pace and I think that is what affected the shape and lack of wanting to take responsibility for marking people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we will never know, I said at the time I supported last summers signings except Ing's as he wouldn't fit the then style of play and I felt we paid too much for Emi although I was happy with the signing. I wanted to sign him when they went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was common knowledge Chelsea had a transfer embargo that summer and brought in Lampard to "usher in a new era of Chelsea" made up of their highly rated youth players breaking through like Tammy, Mount, Tomori, etc. We wanted to sign him but Chelsea set a high price on him that window because Lampard wanted to keep him around and they couldn't buy another striker to replace him.

VillaChris Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Actually think rather than Tammy, Calum Wilson was a missed opportunity in summer 2020. 8 goals in 18 games and 12 in 26 the season before so roughly 1 in 2 and he'll be a good sub off the bench for Newcastle next season. He'd have been a good alternative to Ollie tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think generally this site gets a bit more traffic during the summer window, the time of hope and optimism. Then they bugger off once the season starts. They are probably the wisest of us all. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
