But the objective of any system is to score goals, no? Anyway, enough, lets be optimistic. It's going to be fine, we're going to pick up someone shortly as a replacement. Well not really, it's to win games/score more than your opponent rather than score as many as possible at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very clear we remain active and looking for the right players, whilst moving on those who don’t fit. Sounds like the summer all over again when people were saying that through July and August and we ended up on deadline day with Bednarek and Dendoncker . I trust Emery but a lot of the recruitment process after players are identified are Lange and Purslow which doesn’t inspire me…as Emery said he goes into Lange’s office very demanding every day, so Lange is the one that delivers/manages the process of getting the players that Emery has identified. Just hope Emery and us aren’t disappointed with Lange and co work on Feb 1st in hindsight. Edited January 19, 2023 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 With the links to Guendouzi do we think he’s the only CM we’re after or does Emery’s comments about Nakamba and Sanson mean it might be Guendouzi and another CM? Probably wishful thinking on my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely unwarranted, probably unlikely but it definitely could happen. It's a measurable risk. 1.) Assuming we then play Jhon up front for the remainder of the season how many goals do we think he will score. 2.) Where will we finish in the league. Selling Danny was probably shrewd in terms of economic business, but damn it comes with a risk. Except it doesn't because we will sign someone. I don't think signing players based on unrealistic worst case scenarios is the way to progress. You could say the same about if Martinez got a season ending injury, but no one is worrying about replacing Olsen right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was not about any upcoming signing, the point was that selling Ings has caused the need for us to buy.... you know what let's leave it, because as I mentioned, and this is only more obvious after Unai's comments, we will be signing more folk.

Hank Scorpio Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 So basically we may sign a striker now but it's less likely as that player is not available now. We will have to make do and cope without Watkins if he gets hurt. Duran was not bought to go straight into the first team. Better hope Watkins stays fit then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
