LRD Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 For the mooted fee, we can surely do better than Welbeck. He's linked to Everton anyway and given the choice of Pardew or Martinez, any sane player would know which one to play for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is we won't spend the money we need to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Lyon have yet to raise funds from selling players this summer. Lacazette, Umtiti and Grenier were the names most linked with a transfer, and the latter is crocked so they can't sell him. Will be interesting to see how it pans out within the week left even if Lacazette has expressed no intention in joining us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Why bring in a proven forward when you can chance your arm with an unfit and unsuitable Argentine who the King doesn't fancy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Don't see how people can turn their nose up at the thought of us signing welbeck. He'd offer ten times more than the current strikers we have in terms of pace and movement. Confident he would get 10+ league goals too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 And also, it seems that it's either welbeck or nothing at this stage. Get him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I dont see how any forward we bring in will score goals, we are set up not to concede rather than score, the likes of Spurs and Liverpool will slaughter us this season if they get an early goal and the lower teams like QPR and Palace will be more than happy with a 0-0 draw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we already had a 15 goal a season striker I'd be tempted. Think if he played every game he'll get us 15 league goals. He's not had that for 4 years now, there's a much better player in there than the one that sits on the manure bench. I'd personally be delighted if we signed him. (not that pardew would use him correctly) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 That's what I was thinking/hoping when I watched their game yesterday. Hopefully in the next few days he starts thinking we're not perfect or even ideal, but we're still better for him than Queen's Park fucking Rangers.

midds Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I think we're pretty much done tbh. Any serious addition to the squad would cost too much, far more likely to see a couple leave from HBA, Tiote and/or MYM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
