Ketsbaia Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I can't see the club sanctioning a move for a left back when we have two on our books. We'll wait on Jetro and grab him in the summer. I'd put money on Willems being our only summer signing, with this January being lile the Sissoko/Debuchy window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yeah, as long as that striker and winger get signed. That is, unless mad money is thrown at us for Sissoko or Gini in which case we'd need to sign replacements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Read somewhere that we have put another offer in for Lacazette. And that we have been offered Gomis for 7m. He's 30, therefore we won't go for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamson, Obertan, Marveaux, Bigi, Ferguson and probably Sissoko, Thauvin & Cisse heading out we will definitely be padding the squad out more than just a LB. Hopefully Taylor too with a huge upgrade coming in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Will be a pretty big clear out in the summer, so just hope we are still in the same league when we finally get the chance to replace a load of crap with some half decent players. IMO, if we are not confident in Aarons and Thauvin cannot be relied on, we really need to get some width and balance down the left - to me that is a priority over a striker of CB.

Williamson and Taylor should both leave this summer though so I'd imagine they'll splash on another "Colo successor" myself and go with Mbemba, Colo, New guy and Lascelles/Dummett for next season.

Lush Vlad Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Still trying with Lacazette? Hasn't he said he won't move in January and he's supposedly already turned us down? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 We wouldn't be any better off signing a mediocre striker so would generally agree if we are limiting ourselves to top quality strikers even if it means that we don't get a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I come in here hoping that we might be looking at bringing in a striker and we're reduced to talking about fucking Shola. Says it all about the chances we'll actually get a striker in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankles Bennett Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 If we are serious about getting Berahino in we need to do it before we buy Townsend, because if its a cash deal for Townsend, Spurs may then have enough cash to outbid us on Berahino.

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Can Berahinho play deep/wide, say in the current role Perez is playing but perhaps a bit wider and more advanced? I wonder if it's Townsend or Berahinho for that spot if so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's Townsend or Berahinho for that spot if so. Aye seen him play on the wing a lot, probably explains the interest. Considering the players we have I'd much rather buy a pacy forward who can operate in wide areas than a winger personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the players we have I'd much rather buy a pacy forward who can operate in wide areas than a winger personally. I'd disagree there tbh. We already have a load of forwards but we don't have a single proper winger worthy of the name. I'm thinking someone with pace to burn who can whip in a good cross or beat his man and get to the byline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Do we? We have Mitrovic and Perez and Perez is more of an attacking midfielder than score than an actual forward. Also there's a reason there's not many good wingers left tbh, that style of play is very easy to defend nowadays very few teams in the league have someone who just dribbles to the by line and puts crosses in. Important to be varied in your approach which is why personally I'd much rather have a versatile forward who is quick and can do multiple things personally. Not that it matters as Townsend has shown nothing to suggest he's that type of winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 We really need a pacey forward who can play on the last man, when was the last time we had one, Lovenkrands? If Mitrovic gets injured we're also completely fucked. McClaren needs to bite the bullet and try and get the best out Thauvin. Between him, Aarons and Perez we should be fine down the left.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Ideally we'd bring in about 12 players tbh, it's what we need. But if it's a choice of a left winger or a pacey striker who's good on the ball I'd go with the striker, he can fill in on the wing if needs be.

If townsend is instead of a striker, they're mental, if it's as well as, fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
