Dokko Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'd say they are about the same but before his injury Wilson looked suited to the Prem more than Gayle imo. Younger as well. Not seen him this season or since the injury, knee wasn't it? Hope its not touched his pace. Tbh really can't see why they'd sell, must be a decent fee (probably a club record for us) But aye, end of Mitro. How he's recovered is key- he was all about chasing lost causes, putting pressure on backpasses and on fullbacks- much as Gayle tries to do but it's too much for one man. They could work well together. It'll be one or the other, both won't ever start together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If Wilson comes in i cant see Mitro staying. Loftus-Cheek sounds ok, but his attributes have him as a deep midfielder, i think Nathan Chaloba is better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I know I kinda poo-pooed the idea the other day but I've come around to the idea of Snodgrass if he's available. He would be a good option for the next 18 months (including a hypothetical, consolidatory PL campaign next season). Technique, delivery, goals from midfield, runs into the ground. Just a shame he isn't very quick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Would like us to consider Lewis Baker alongside Loftus-Cheek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'd have no issue with Snodgrass only for that he's best suited to play RM, so would force Ritchie out wide left and we'd have 2 non-pacy wingers (although both with good technique and delivery) and Atsu.

sempuki Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Would like us to consider Lewis Baker alongside Loftus-Cheek. Think he has 10 goals already this season. Chelsea have so many good young players who won't all become first team players for them - Baker, Loftus-Cheek, Solanke, Abraham etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aguero Some people think we can still attract top names unfortunately we can't and need to get players the likes of wilson hogan etc and go with it until we are again an established premier league mid to top half side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Wasn't Rafa quoted as saying he on,y wants proven pre ire ship quality this window, which would rule out both Higan and Wilson. Think we need to sort out the midfield first anyway, absolutely no creativity for whichever striker we want to sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 It's something I've never gotten like, the argument that basically every signing you make has to be some up and coming wonderkid or someone who instantly walks into your side and improves you ten-fold. You can be pretty certain that any signing we make now in their mid 20s and beyond is made for an actual reason. Ie Rafa has identified them as being necessary. Whether that's for the dressing room, as back-up, or to slot right in. We're not just randomly signing people for no apparent reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggy_Keagal Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I think this may well be a case of an agent touting around his client as Scott Hogan has been heavily linked to West Ham and Reading in recent days . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Just about all of our signings this season have been made with one priority in mind and that's promotion. There'll probably be a complete overhaul if we go up. but Rafa won't care, his objective will have been achieved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 We have 1 chance to get out of this league if we don't want to lose Rafa and end up with more British cloggers for eternity. We can waste as much as we want as long as we go up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
