He's from Birmingham too, so shouldn't be any settling issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Chris Richards is not a bad shout at all. Also, we could consider Omar Richards as a back up to Digne. Don’t think Omar Richards has played many games for Bayern this season but was very highly rated at Reading. Still only 24 and would be a lot cheaper than someone like Hickey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 If we are looking for a forward in the summer, and if Watford get relegated, Emmanuel Dennis could be a useful signing, and would be relatively cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had players across the team that score plenty of goals then fine but we have a lot of creators, we have some pressing players and while more pressing will create more opportunities we need more scoring from more areas.

Yeah but as Zatman said he seems to have been found out so it’s a player. Bit like Watkins that is more pressing and less goals. We need some players that score.

CVByrne Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I'd say it's pretty certain Luiz and Traore will be sold. Luiz will want to be among the top earners at the club if he signs a new deal. He probably knows he has a tough job on his hands getting game time ahead of JJ / McGinn next season. Plus the suiter clubs (like Arsenal / Roma / Spurs) are all desirable clubs to join and will offer good wages, especially in London. We probably don't want to be paying Luiz top money when he won't be as regular a starter this season and we need to headroom for a new CDM. So the entire situation leads me to believe sale is what will happen here Sanson will probably stay as he is a capable 8 to compete / cover JJ and McGinn. If Carney stays (which I think is highly unlikely) he is the 4th 8 in the team. Buendia / Coutinho can also play 8 if needed. Traore like AEG, Trez etc.. just don't work in the narrow system and will be sold. Bailey could be sold to but I don't think the offers will be right and I feel he might be given a full season to adapt to the Gerrard system, potentially as one of the two forwards in the 4 3 1 2. Guilbert and Targett will also be sold as will Davis most likely. That leaves Konsa who has a contract until 2026. He might be loaned out for the season if we sign another CB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a better shot conversion ratio than both Watkins and Ings, he's less wasteful when shooting, and unlike Ings he suits an intense pressing game. Should we just sign a striker who's scored the most goals? We signed one that scored 12 last season and 20 the season before. Or we could spend a fortune on a striker from abroad with a good goal scoring record like Lukaku and hope for the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Dennis but don’t think he’s better than Watkins or Ings, so it’s a no from me just somebody who is average to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing when fully fit. Under Gerrard JJ and McGinn have been fit when Sanson has he can't get in ahead of them. Gerrard said he was doing so well on training for so long he has to start him. Sadly he moved Mcginn to 6 the same game. If we had an injury to McGinn or JJ l, Sanson is capable player to play without significant drop off.
