I heard we had a deal for him in place before he got injured which if it was the case then we may go back in for him. Pure speculation. Talk about a striker that goes on goal scoring droughts. Not fit to lace Watkins boots. We had a good time with him in Championship. Moved on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSvillain Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 So if we are in touching distance of Top 4 come Jan transfer window what do people think we should be targeting? My list would be: Young RB ~£15m LM (Ramsey competition) ~£20m Maybe a versatile forward if I'm being greedy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t really argue with this but prices will be far higher for players capable of playing at top four level. Would we sell Ramsey for a mere £20m?

It's fair point, the £20m was broadly based on a situation such as PSG selling us someone like Soler for the same money they bought him for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Young coming back, and to be fair 15mil would be too much for him. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference when Watkins replaced Duran at half time against Mostar was huge. There was little or no movement and dynamism up front first half. Watkins and Luiz coming on changed everything. Duran might get the odd goal but the drop off in overall quality and team effectiveness if Watkins gets injured or suspended would be huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Jan being notoriously difficult to get any value I can't see us doing much unless we get another serious injury in the next couple of months. Back up for RB is the obvious gap, but otherwise maybe only someone opportunistically that becomes available or a youngster who can be integrated ahead of next season. Think it'll be very quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems sensible - especially with players to come back from injury too. There's also decent youngsters who can play a role around the squad like Kellyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
