We aren't going to secure a better deal and he isn't a youngster that needs games. If he cannot get in at Stoke then quite frankly, tough shit. Still better for us if he’s actually somewhere he can get a game. More likely for some poor club to buy him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we want to be putting Hogan as much in the shop window as possible. Far better chancing him doing well in another loan than have him not playing at Stoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Giroud on a short term loan is a superb deal. Big improvement on wesley and then we can bring in a number 1 striker in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't get a kick for one of the worst sides in the Championship. It will be league 1 next offering him a 5k a week contract if he is lucky Edited January 5, 2020 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will subsidise virtually all his wages from now til the end of his contract due to his inability to find any form worthy of a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To release him we’d have to pay all of his wages anyway so it makes no sense. Unless we can negotiate some sort of lower pay off, we may as well hold out for someone to buy him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could've said the same about McCormack but sometimes it's just better to get these players gone away from the club. It's not disagreeing with you either just making a point.

jacketspuds Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Giroud should be a definite signing if we can do it, but only if we can also bring in another striker. I'd even take someone like Rhian Brewster if we did bring in Giroud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermon Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Batshuayi is having a mare today for Chelsea, I thought he'd be a decent option for us but he looks out of it. Think we definitely need two strikers in case one doesn't work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mikeyp102 Posted January 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2020 What about Lookman on loan from Leipzig? I always thought he was good at Everton and hasn’t played much this season so may be fighting to prove doubters wrong 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 We're not being linked with any wingers, but Smith has said that there's a possibility of us signing two strikers, so maybe the second forward we go for will be a pacey type that can also play on the wing, succeed in achieving two things in a single action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
