vreitti Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I would be amazed if we don't buy another striker in January. Probably means Jhon goes on loan somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably means Jhon goes on loan somewhere. I don't think he is going on loan at all and do very much think he can play his part as a back up when required. However I do worry about temperament. Some of his challenges coming off the bench are inspiring to the crowd and somewhat the team but also a red card waiting to happen. Nothing today suggested that and if he had the responsibility from the start it could mean he played a little different, but if we would struggle without Watlins we would certainly struggle without both of them for a few games.

You're going to be very disappointed when January ends. It's extremely hard to get a striker then and I don't think we will be looking for one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see it. We were happy to gamble on him from the end of the summer and he’ll get more useful as the season goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Very unlikely we will get another striker in Jan so great opportunity for Duran to play an important role for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute lunatic. Love him. We've gone from Fash the Bash to Duran the Madman. Let's just hope his away record at OT doesn't match. He probably would've done well in the Wimbledon side to be fair. Doesn't shy away from anything. Easy to forget how young he is - the fact that he always backs himself is encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of my thinking is Emery probably didn't count on us fighting for the title this season already... and it should be fairly obvious to everyone, that Jhon's still a very much "work in progress" player, and I think we'll want a more ready-made alternative for the remainder of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your sentiment but I'll buy you a balti pie the size of Jimmy Hill's chin if you can name one such player we could actually afford, and who would also be happy playing second fiddle to Ollie. I think we'd like a lot of things, but market demand far outstrips supply unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Problem with signing another striker is keeping Watkins happy as he has to be the number 1. Else I'd say go for Toney and really piss the Brentford fans off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets put on to throw himself about. When he plays the full 90 he's nowhere near as aggressive about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
