Popular Post DaveAV1 Posted September 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2020 Probably the Rashica option. Nice kind of choice though. Over in Small Heath they’re wondering whether to loan Scott Hogan or buy a new kettle for the canteen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He simply isn't good enough. He has the physique of a striker but not the nous to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ima big fan of Keinan but a championship loan is exactly what he needs. I don’t think he’s quite good enough to carry us through a prem season, and sitting on the bench playing occasional minutes won’t be good for his development at all. it would be great to see him get a full season under his belt and develop a bit of confidence in front of goal 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Rashica and play Watkins as the striker Sign Eduoard and play Watkins wide As much as I want us to sign Edouard, It seems counterintuitive to sign Watkins as our main striker, who had the best year of his career as a striker AND is the reason we are even signing him only to then push him out wide. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 23 minutes ago, SeanVilla said: Agreed. I think we underestimate how short we are in midfield. Assuming Grealish plays out wide, the only CM cover we have is Lansbury Grealish wants to play central. Other CMs Luiz McGinn Nakamba Hourihane Lansbury Ramsey that just scored 2 against Arsenal the other day. Not enough cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason for us to sell Guilbert imo, he's good enough to push Cash for a starting spot plus said he was happy here. I'd use the same reasoning for Nakamba and Engels, in that we would then have to buy players to come in for them while selling them. We don't have another Nakamba type player in the squad (if we're shifting Luiz around in midfield) and selling Engels would leave with only 3 senior center backs, of which one is very poor with his passing. Could make similar reasoning for not selling Samatta as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Rashica and play Watkins as the striker Sign Eduoard and play Watkins wide I can't see us spending £28m on Watkins to play him on the wing. As much as I like Edouard, I would prefer specialists in each position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other CMs Luiz McGinn Nakamba Hourihane Lansbury Ramsey that just scored 2 against Arsenal the other day. Not enough cover? It's not as simple though as Nakamba can replace McGinn or Hourihane. He's a holding midfielder. Grealish may want to play central but until we sign 2 new wingers, he'll stay where he performed best last season which was LW. Ramsay going on loan I thought? In my opinion, Lansbury is cack so I don't believe we do have enough cover, hence the rumours we are looking at one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though both are going to be surplus, the reality is we will be bringing in a new #1. but then both of our backups suffered season ending injuries last year which led us to an emergency cover signing in Reina — and we've had bad luck with long term keeper injuries recently. I also am not particularly confident if Sinisalo in that case as the senior backup. nothing more than a suspicion but feel like it might be prudent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dappadan Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Trying to work out whether we were in for both Wilson and Watkins. We seem to have been pursuing Watkins for a while but get him just after not getting Wilson. Maybe Wilson was to force Brentford in to accepting or maybe we are going to see another striker come in still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2020 2 hours ago, GarethRDR said: I think ultimately that'd be the crux of it anyway. Reportedly Juventus wanted to offer him back to Fiorentina as a makeweight in a possible Chiesa deal but Bernadeschi himself nixed that as he didn't want to drop back down the ladder (mind you, I'm sure him being persona non grata in Florence wouldn't have helped there either). Yeah i can't see him being a fan favourite for fiorentina anytime soon, he'll end up at Milan for a lot less than a premier league club would pay. England is the first stop for italian sporting directors wanting max value! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
