Captain Underpants Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Franco Di Santo? Aged 24, Argentina international (I know they cap a lot of s****), Premiership experience. Does not really score goals... Still would rather have than Carlton Cole. At what point do we start scraping the barrel? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but assuming we fail to sign Gomis/Gignac/Remy/Bent we will just be after bodies, especially if Shola has broken his arm. I am getting seriously concerned. We are so amateur.

matta Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Closely coming out of the dreambubble that we are gonna sign someone. Won't believe it until a new player actually starts an official game for us and the window is closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I know he's not that good but I can't believe at 29 years old all the best he could get as a free transfer was a 1 year contract with a newly promoted side who are likely to go down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Why aren't we trying to get Weimann? I remember reading a while back we were linked with him and he seemed interested in us, he would fit perfectly into our squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 What about someone like Shane Long? He is rumored to be available and couldn't cost too much.. Similar type player to Weimann from what I've seen. Still think someone like LeFondre wouldn't be the worst option off the bench. Better than Shola at least and he scored as much as Cisse last season for the worst club in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Shola at least and he scored as much as Cisse last season for the worst club in the league. His (Long) increase in his sell on fee compared to the purchase fee wouldn't be worth the perceived risk from the board unfortunately. Not seem anything to suggest he is available though, wouldn't make any sense given WBA have no Lukaku. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I saw something on twitter about him being available (so prob BS) but yeah I don't see why they'd want to sell him especially if Odemwingie finally goes too. Just about sick of hearing the same mediocre names linked again and again, it would be nice if we bought someone that hasn't been mentioned yet.

I agree, I just brought him up cause someone was talking about Weimann. We should be looking for better than all these guys really, or at least not just limiting our options to a few players.

krybel Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 "Now that Anzhi have apparently put their entire squad up for sale, it might be an opportune moment to attempt signing Lacina Traoré. Traoré: man mountain (203 cm) of a forward, extremely powerful and quick for his size. When on form he's almost unplayable" - Tor K Karlsen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 If it's true that Anzhi are going on a firesale, it would behoove us to take a look at some of their players. The obvious candidates of course (Traore, Willian), but they have some other players that could be decent pick-ups. I really like Ahmedov and the Moroccans Boussoufa and Carcela-Gonzalez seem like good players too (despite the latter being sent off against us).
