No no no! We want younger players with lots of potential. I'm not against signing the odd 30+ player like Cahill or Milner as theyve been absolute quality in their careers, their experience along with their ability is what could give us a strong first season back in the prem. We should loo at each deal individually - Gary Hooper on the other hand is the type of player we should not even consider. There is a reason why a championship club thats aiming to be there or thereabouts is releasing him! 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason why a championship club thats aiming to be there or thereabouts is releasing him! Absolutely spot on Junxs. I said this a few days ago. Yes we are moving away from signing 30+ yr olds - However.. IF we make it back to the Promise Land and a player like Cahill, Milner or Kompany was to sign for us then yes, all day yes - on a 1 yr deal. It's a no brainer and shouldn't need explained to anyone who's followed this club, and football, very closely in the last 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no! We want younger players with lots of potential. Worst case scenario: we lose on Tuesday, get knocked out to West Brom, we lose Abraham, Kodjia and Hogan will leave too. Who do we sign to replace them? I’d struggle to name better than Gary Hooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 How would people feel if we went after Derby's Right winger Wilson? He looks like a massive upgrade on Adomah and Green 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily we have scouts who I'm sure would come up with a much better solution than him! If he's not good enough for Steve Bruce why on earth do you think he's good enough for us?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 48 goals in 127 games, mostly at Championship level during the last 6 seasons really is rather poor. And at 31 he's hardly getting better, would be a terrible signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Keinan Davis should be first choice if we don't go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested this before he signed for Newcastle. Theres a reason Rafa loaned him back out after a season. My combined guess - He cannot do it at PL level, his attitude stinks and he comes across as a right little arsehole. No thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Id go for Luca Connell at Bolton. Exactly the type of player we should be in for. Young, hungry and bags of potential. Plus he will be cheaper now given their predicament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
