bowlingcrofty Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Based purely on stats and what I've read on him, I reckon Gerard Moreno would be a realistic target for us as a striker. 15 goals in 36 matches for Espanyol this season and 13 in 37 matches last season. Decent shout; I reckon there's a fair few bargains to be had in Spain: pretty sure Fabian from Betis has a 13m euros buyout clause 26m and off to Barca by all accounts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Is Davies going to want and sit around as back up now he's had a taste? Can't imagine the top clubs interested. Everton as replacement for Baines maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing with Poccetino is that he always rotates his full backs, so barring injury they get even number of matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I could see us getting Luke Shaw on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hudson-Odoi of Chelsea is supposed to be excellent. Chelsea will probably be looking to send him on loan and they will like how much playing time Rafa gives his loan signings (Atsu, Kenedy). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Also think we may, and should go back in for Jørgensen. Rafa obviously rates him and he does seem the type of mobile yet physical striker we need to play up on top on his own. He seems to have a decent eye for a pass too albeit via youtube clips, so he doesn't seem too one-dimensional either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I could see us getting Luke Shaw on loan. Not sure why we'd bother with that. Might get him on loan on the cheap for a season, a failed player looking for a new start. Right up Ashley's street that man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Don't know what it is but I really don't want Jorgensen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Probably because we often have predisposed attitudes towards players and particularly strikers coming from the Eredivisie. I feel good about Jørgensen however, and trust Rafa's judgement to the hilt - he knows what he's looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Not sure we know enough to conclude he is a 'big lump' like. Looks mobile & quick enough on YouTube clips fwiw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimburst Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I think he looks relatively slow. We also look loads better with a player running the channels rather than a target man, in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 How realistic is Timo Werner ? I know they scouted the recent Europa League semi, obviously they have a player of interest somewhere. Werner from what I've seen seems to be the type of striker that would thrive in our system. He's at the right age from the owners perspective. Just think he may be well out our reach, I don't know ?

joeyt Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yeah he wouldn't be very realistic. He'l be starting up front for Germany in the World Cup this summer I imagine. Plus Leipzig are loaded and plenty of top teams want him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also look loads better with a player running the channels rather than a target man, in my opinion. Fair play, I won't claim to know much about him other than clips on YouTube & somewhat blind trust of Rafa's interest. I just get a good feeling about him for some reason, but can see clearly why people would get the opposite inclination too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Leipzig are loaded and plenty of top teams want him I'm sure you are right, Just looked at his international record, 7 goals in 12 games or something, golden boot at the confed cup last year. Never gonna happen unfortunately. If Ashley said you have a 50 million budget before sales, I honestly wouldn't be adverse to spending the whole lot on someone like Werner who would be the ideal type of striker we need, making do with loans to cover the other gaps in our squad. it's such a huge hole for us, so many games like last night that could have swung the other way if we had a decent quality striker on board.

Away Toon Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I doubt it. West Ham are currently a more ambitious club than we are and pay way higher wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I'm not sure i'd classify narrowly avoiding relegation, employing David Moyes and signing soon to be 37 year old Patrice Evra as ambitious I agree they pay higher wages, but the club is a mess, the Olympic stadium, the dildo brothers etc. Without Arnautovic they'd be in the bottom 3.
