avfc1982am Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 12 minutes ago, Zatman said: His goal record in the last 4 seasons is 6, 4, 9 and 2. Bailey is a much superior wide forward Have you considered.... You have your main striker/CF that scores, say 20 goals a season. Do you surround them with players that just feed them or would you bring in several players that might contribute 5-10 goals a season to supplement the team. You don't need multiple CF's that score 20 goals. I think it could be a smart move. It's another option for a side that has one outstanding goalscorer in Son and several 5-10 goals in the players around him. Very much like us with Ollie.

I have watched him play many times to realise he isnt that player, I would rather use our current options. If Raheem Sterling was German he would be Timo Werner He doesnt score that much and his assists arent off the charts either. His xg at Chelsea was dreadful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His xg at Chelsea was dreadful He hasn't signed for us so I don't see the point in discussing whether we have better options. I think Spurs with the way they play will get more out of him. We'll see though because I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warner had a great record at Leipzig in his first spell. I would back Emery to get him going but he's gone to spurs and given them another option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I think it was kiwi who summed it up in the other transfer thread If we signed him people would go mad about him not being good enough and us losing 4th to Spurs Spurs sign him and people go mad about him being something that he's not and us losing 4th to Spurs He's ok at best, he'll do very well to get 5 goals there, he's not the difference between us and them 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 They took on Danjuma last season in January didnt they ? He is cover for Son / freshening things up for rotation. Theyve got Veliz Solomon Johnson Richarlison Gil Son as senior forwards with another 3 youngsters in reserve. We have Watkins Zaniolo Bailey Diaby Traore and Duran and are playing an extra competition. Would love to strengthen but we dont have the same financial strength as Spurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably means we don't have Spurs financial strength in terms of gate receipts and sponsorship which we're probably miles behind. FFP wise Spurs probably strongest in PL about now with Kane money not all spent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Seems Eric Dyer's form has dropped off a cliff, can't get a game under Ange, an now being signed by Bayern. Funny really, seems like another player not completely focused, although being that his besties are Deli Ali and Lingard, it may start to become a bit clearer.

We have Bailey and Diaby. They're barely much different than type of player Werner is. Just better. People keep using term striker like old fashioned centre forward. They barely exist in PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Werner is a good signing for spurs, but he plays same position as Son. Think he will suit the system though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haaland, Watkins, Isak, Solanke, Pedro, Hojlund, Wilson, Jimenez, Edouard, Awoniyi, Toney, Calvert-Lewin - they're just not things anymore. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
