Vive_La_Villa Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I’ve seen some posts saying should have sold him next week but once Ings was set to leave and agreed terms with West Ham etc we couldn’t keep him for one game. He’s head or heart wouldnt be in it. Plus they would want him in asap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicRic Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 The most logical and best strategy we can use now is we bring in a forward on loan who may not be getting a regular start at one of the bigger clubs across europe until the summer of course and then bring in one of our own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) "Proven Premier League goalscorer" for the summer from the Times is a weird quote. It's either a throw away line (which is what I'd assume if it was Talksport or a Rag). But assuming it's not, there aren't many that are a) available b) not just Ings part 2. Current PL Top Scorers (Strikers Only) Haaland, Kane, Rashford, Nunez, Jesus - No Chance Ivan Toney - Maybe, huge ban impending though Mitrovic, Callum Wilson - Maybe? (Wilson v. Unlikely) I can't really see any of those. And that's all the strikers in the Top 20 scorers. Other "PL Proven" Strikers in Europe La Liga - Morata, Cavani, Sorloth Serie A - Lookman, Arnautovic, Dzeko, Tammy Bundesliga - Mane, Sane, Werner Ligue Un - Lacazette A lot of No Hopes there and some that very much stretch of "PL Proven". Back to Tammy I suppose. Edited January 19, 2023 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan David is Ollie with a higher ceiling and versatility Stylistically, I think he would fit into the Emery system. In terms of overall ability and potential, I don’t watch French football so my viewpoint is somewhat limited…but he was utter trash at the WC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're 22 goals in 19 games, which puts us 14th in terms of goals scored. 3 of those were scored by strikers currently on our books. You can't count Gerrard's games as part of this system and Emery's record since he has come in speaks for itself. Moreover, the way we play isn't just designed for strikers to score goals - other positions chip in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves game recently of perfect example of experienced striker coming on to win us a point (and should've been three given it was a brilliant pass from the halfway line). That's why we need another CF for those type of situations as we were awful for 70 minutes of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 David would be another project though much further ahead than Duran. Still one I’d be willing to take a punt on as he fits the Emery system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Why are people saying David? Where's the proof it's him? Edited January 19, 2023 by MachoFantastico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 If we’re hunting around Ligue 1, I’d much rather have Weah as an American over Mckennie. Would be cheaper but has pace and decent dribbling. More someone to run at the end of a through ball but might return a value if he’s coached correctly. Valuation is in the 15m range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Would never happen, and he is getting on a bit I suppose, but I think Zaha would fit Emery's system superbly. I really like him as a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
