As did a hundred other rumours, the first we all found out anything with substance was the day he was signed. Edit - We are currently linked with about 20/30 players....we should be sorted then!

DCJonah Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I feel like I'm missing something. Apart from striker where are we short in depth? And how many clubs actually have top talent sitting on their bench in that position. I think we've been spoilt with Watkins and Ings being in the squad.

Not saying it's strong, but there are a few options. Add Carlos to the mix in a couple of weeks time and it's not THAT bad! Thats on the assumption we dont pick up injuries. 2- 3 injuries and we already seen what our bench looks like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only partially convinced, its just the notorious January Market. I’m in the I don’t have a clue club, which, given how tight the club control leaks is where we all are. Nothing would really surprise me over the next couple of days. I’m not sure clubs in a similar position to us are doing much though. Chelsea are a basket case and Arsenal are very strong on and off the pitch right now. The door is creaking, we’ll know one way or another soon. Probably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty big though to be fair, Emery has talking about getting in his specialist winger for the best part of a month. If Watkins gets injured we’re putting a lot of faith on Duran and would likely have to call back archer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 30, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2023 Sky 'understanding' * something doesn't bother me at all. They'll say anything until it's nonsense and then they'll just change to the new info.

I'd be much more concerned if Martinez got injured but no one is demanding we sign a back up keeper. If Watkins gets injured we'd be affected. Couldn't most clubs in this league say the same about their main striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a wee bit light at CB, but it is mainly the forward position (s). It's not just top talent, though, it's anyone who has played even a minute in English or Top league football. As it stands we have Ollie, Bailey and Jhon. That's it for 18 games. Not even any academy folks that can play as a Striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Sky understood that we had agreed a deal for Duran after we actually announced it so those 2 pricks Sheth and Solekol can continue to spout bollocks about clubs instead. Unless the club says anything, I'm going to remain positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
