The_Steve Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I can only credit Unai and the board with how quick they’ve managed to shift the deadweight. Yes, it leaves us short on numbers. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we recall the likes of Tim or others if called upon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 If there is someone coming in (I think there will be) it will not be a panic signing. The reporters usually know very little about our transfers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've posted (stupidly on the Guendouzi thread) a reasoned argument why I think not signing a striker in the short term is a mistake. I've backed that up with analysis on goals scored and conceded this year, both as a whole, and during Emery's tenure. For my viewpoint I've had a number of responses which range from 'we should only go in for the right players' (reasonable) through 'Trust Emery' (understandable), to 'bedwetter' (stupid). No one, however, has given any substantial response to the question 'what do we do in the short term to score the gap in goals from the Ings sale' that was backed up by any sort of reasoning aside from a vague- they'll be picked up by the other players (who would all have to exceed their career best goalscoring ratios simultaneously to do this). And no one has entertained the possibility that there may be injuries to key players, or rather they have, but have referred to it as 'unlikely', which is fine but in no way acknowledges any associated risk. Somehow it is my concerns that are being attacked as 'unreasonable' and 'impatient'. Deranged even. I am very much more than happy to receive reasoned arguments that change my mind. If anyone else calls my opinion 'bedwetting' and then goes on to give absolutely no justification, other than faith things will work out OK, then, however, I am going to lose my s**t.

That said, none of them are ready for first team premier league football yet, so not sure how much help they will be getting us into the top 8.

Paul33 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 To be honest, I switched off at 'what do we do in the short term to score the gap in goals from the Ings sale' because I don't recognise any gap of concern. Watkins will need to play better as will others but as we are improving steadily then I have no concerns about that. I'm also thinking ..... why is this guy getting into a panic because he thinks we won't sign a forward ? Do you know something we don't ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Trees posted on his twitter this morn that he thinks the flight in from Bilbao is definitely football related, not sure what makes him so sure but presumably has his reasons. Although does point out that it could be something to do with Wolves rather than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it odd we let Archer go on loan, then sold Ings??? If we sold Chambers we would need to bring Swinkels or Bogarde on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could also be either of our respective managers or scouting teams that were watching some games in Spain over the weekend. Optimist in me says it's a signing to be revealed today. Realist says we're laying the ground work for a summer move for Nico (or more likely someone else). Edited January 30, 2023 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
