Si Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 If you'd said monitoring i'd have absolutely believed you. Or rumoured to be monitoring. Continuing to consider the possibility of begining to monitor....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Whatculture are reporting that we've lodged a £13m bid. Looking at their Twitter stuff they're not your usual ITK knobheads but are more on the line of a bit of an Indy footy blog type thing. Dunno what to think about this.

Ikon Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'd use the money for other positions..Not that i think we're looking for another striker (unless Cissé leaves) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've got a decent offer for cisse on the table but we won't sell him until we have another through the door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Pretty sure I have just seen him on SSN when they showed QPR's second goal in their friendly. He looks massive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I always assumed it was either Mitrovic or Austin, not both unless Cisse left. Can see Villa being in for him now that Benteke has gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I never really thought we would get an established PL goalscorer, especially if even one other side was interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 They don't exactly seem a complimentary pairing, if we get Austin that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 They don't exactly seem a complimentary pairing, if we get Austin that is. That's my concern, even if you wanted to play 2 upfront it would seem to me that they don't exactly compliment each other. Would make sense to sign a mobile forward with pace if you want to pair someone with Mitrovic. Having said that i really doubt we'll play with 2 upfront, there's just far too many midfield options for me to think it would happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I honestly believe Ayoze could work well with Mitrovic. I haven't seen Mitrovic play but the word is he thrives on service. Ayoze is a work horse and often goes deep and to the wings to get the ball. I hope to see him starting next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we be developing a squad (pronounced skwod), when I was younger we had one of those, it's like having spares in case of injuries and stuff.

madras Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 13million squad addition with little re sale value, so many of Ashleys sacred cows being slaughtered there, think we need Ashley DNA'd not Mbemba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Isn't most people's concern that, assuming we have limited funds, they'd rather not spend 13 million on a striker when there are other areas that need to be improved? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, if we had 30m more to spend then I'd be all for it but if we are going to spend another 10m or above on a player I'd prefer it to be a centre half or winger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
