VillanousOne Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Anyone know if any truth in the links to Sonny Perkins coming to us fro West Ham? The press don't seem to know much but keep suggesting it's us Leeds or Spurs he's going to. Be funny if a reverse Carney Chuk happened on this one.

Man City just did similar with Haaland as well (For some exaggeration I admit but I think Arsenal are absolutely streets ahead of us - they are not really relevant to our ambitions this season) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 6 is a pipe dream. Even Man Utd, who have been run like Billy Smart's circus in recent years, are light years ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ings and Watkins (and even Archer) are miles ahead of the dire options at Brighton, Newcastle, Wolves, Everton, Leicester and West Ham. Miles ahead is a bit of an overstatement. West Ham are at least on par if not better, as are Leicester. The rest bar the odd player we are probably better. West Ham - Antonio, Bowen, Leicester - Vardy, Iheanacho, Daka Newcastle - Wilson, Wood, Gayle Wolves - Raúl Jiménez, Fábio Silva Brighton - Maupay, Welbeck, Andone Everton - Calvert-Lewin, Rondón Palace - Ayew, Benteke, Édouard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen has had a good season yes for sure still inferior to the Ings of 2020. Antonio don't make me laugh. His best ever season was a staggering 10 goals. As @Zatman pointed out, Vardy at his best is better than what we have and Daka may yet come good so Leicester I agree with him on as having on par or better options than us. The rest? Palace's top scorer for years has been a winger. Jimenez for Wolves hasn't looked anything like the same player since his head injury. I suppose you could make an argument for Callum Wilson who I rate but then you're down to Chris Wood and Dwight Gayle. We have far better options than people realize sometimes.

Delphinho123 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 If we do manage to get a decent fee for Chukwuemeka, we should buy Alex Scott from Bristol City and loan him back for a year. Chukwuemeka himself really rates Scott so I feel it would be fitting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted July 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2022 Had a nightmare last night that it was the opening game of the season and Ollie and Ings had both gone to West Ham and we hadn’t replaced them with any one… woke up sweating 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one day we can play in Europe (please ) Anyway, all things considered, if both sets of players played the same number of games and didn't have a managerial upheaval mid season, I still rate our two ahead of West Hams two. I back them to do the business this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Still think we should go and get Belotti. With no transfer fee, we could offer him a decent wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
