toontownman Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Wait a sec, good to see some optimism here, but aubermayengs club has come out and said the club/player have decided to reject all bids until the summer. Surely a complete non starter until the summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I see that Sportings manager has come out and officially confirmed that he might have to sell Ricky Van Wolfswinkel. I know Lee Ryder claims we're not interested but I think we might be dependent on price Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I'm not convinced we have no interest in Van Wolfswinkel. I guess it's just whether he falls into our price range in this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

basjen Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Weren't we very heavily linked to RvW when he was still at Utrecht Yea, so would make sense. But can he play both center and wing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as far as i'm aware, which is why i find it a bit strange.... would be Cisse and Ba mk2. He can play as an attacking Mid or striker, would be a choice between him and de Jong I reckon. Aubermayeng would be a better option but I wouldn't be surprised to see us getting two of the three by the end of the summer. We need a pool of at least for competent strikers with diverse skill sets. Aubermayeng and gouffran offer pace and versatility Cisse/rvw/dejong off a target man (the latter offer options in midfield/withdrawn striker too) Then we have Campbell/ameobi coming through but given time to go out on loan. Could keep shola if we send them out for a year. Wishful thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah i knew he could play attacking mid but we have soooo many attacking mids it seems a bit of a waste.... We have Sissoko, Cabaye, Marveaux, Gouffran, Ben Arfa who can all play there so if we buy a striker to play behind Cisse so then there would be a lot of players on the bench. Cabaye and Sissoko would probably be the starting 2 so you would probably have Anita, Tiote and Marveaux all on the bench I think signing someone like Aubameyang would make more sense considering the needs of the squad.

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Well if thats the case then we might be finished in this window, as we tend to stick to our targets rather than buy someone who doesn't fit. I think we'll see us push hard for Thauvin and Aubameyang in the summer. We might get another striker but I think it's be a youngster rather than someone to bolster the first team.

Agreed if we can't get those in this window we will go again in the summer, we've done it before and i'm pretty sure we will do it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppaz Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We deffo need another attacker to give us more options up front. Its risky given our position. We are now strong enough in almost every area apart from up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We deffo need another attacker to give us more options up front. Its risky given our position. We are now strong enough in almost every area apart from up front. I agree another attacker would be good but with the players we've signed, Taylor back fit and given Colo is staying til the end of the season we really should have a much more miserly defence. We won't necessarily need to score bucket loads of goals to win games. We were impotent against Norwich but we created bags of chances/goals against Man U/Arsenal and really should've been out of sight against Reading by half time. I'm confident Cisse will still get goals and Gouffran will chip in with a few too. But the movement in the team should be a lot better in the near future and that means the likes of Sissoko/Cabaye/HBA might way in with a few goals too.

Mattoon Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The one thing that worries me is that with the extra support if Cisse doesn't find his scoring boots we have no alternative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
