GM Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 There's no way in hell we will buy another 2 strikers, especially ones as high profile as Bony or Aubameyang. How high profile are they really though, especially when half the country had never heard of them until this transfer window? Not your average man in the street but both have been bubbling under for 12-18 months on the potential hype machine. Those 2 and Lacina Traore are pretty much the future of African forwards as far as I'm aware. Cheers. It was just the phrase 'high profile' that got me. Just getting a bit worn down by the endless hyperbole on here. You'd think Mike Ashley was the Second Coming and all these new players were the latter day saints the way folks are going on. [/grumpyoldman] Know what you mean, I'm excited to watching them but the proof will definitely be in the pudding, too many false dawns watching this mob and it's a massive ask for 3/4 players to all adapt instantaneously. On the flip side I'm sure that they can't be any worse than known 'boo boys'. True. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Probably helps that the players that in theory should be pushed out of the team by the arrivals are worse than shit and have been killing our ability to play football for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 II'll give Ashley some leeway if he actually invests properly invests in the summer like what the league does with what the league does relatively. The fact is everything happening this window is 6 months too late and shoes how he knows fuck all about football still. This should probably be in Mike's thread... And completely ignored.

OzzieMandias Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Howay, Bony lad! If we get this chap, it would only need another top-class centre-back to make this transfer window pretty much a maximum break in terms of addressing specific squad weaknesses. Did you miss the Yanga-Mbiwa signing? No. We could still do with another one. Just like we could still do with another striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got Colo and Mapou as the likely first choice pair with Taylor 3rd choice. We could do with a better 4th choice than Williamson I suppose, but CB is nowhere near as big a need as another option up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Well, Colo will be going and for all we know his head won't be right when he resumes playing. I'm not suggesting it's any kind of urgent need. My original comment was just about how close it was to being a perfect transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
