STM Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Be daft if we didn't make one last approach for Knockaert when sulky chops gets sold. Would be very strong contenders then. Like to think we might make a really serious offer for him. Like club record type bid, if Sissoko goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I don't see why signing a striker proven in this league is such a bad idea. Aye it won't be glamorous but he'll be in rotation with Mitrovic anyway. Depends on your definition of "proven" I suppose. He's nearly 34 and has had one good season at this level in his career (which wasn't last season). 50 in 3 seasons. Fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's nearly 34 and has had one good season at this level in his career (which wasn't last season). 50 in 3 seasons. f*** off. 27 of which came in one season. The only time he's been his team's top scorer and the only time he's been a top 10 scorer in the league. In the other two seasons he got 10 and 13, both playing 40 games. Without that one standout season he's a 1 in 4 Championship striker throughout his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's nearly 34 and has had one good season at this level in his career (which wasn't last season). 50 in 3 seasons. Fuck off. He only scored in six games last season, failed to score until November, and hasn't scored in any yet this season. Daryl Murphy's a bog standard Championship striker and quite old. Why has this become such a controversial statement? Weird that I've never seen any posts saying how good he is before yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Obviously people wanted a much better striker in and this is the definition of underwhelming but you've got to remember he'll be 4th choice, back up, possible cup games and to keep Mitrovic on his toes. I can understand people being pissed off but he'll be a bit part player at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dazzanufc1892 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 the difference is at this level, they won't have had a manager and strategies in place from somebody of the quality of our manager. They also won't have had the kind of coaches that come with rafa. Im happy to go with any signing and see how they turn out after working with a higher class of backroom staff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 James McCarthy £20m. According to Daily Mail (left out of Everton's game yesterday). This is surely dependent on Sissoko going, and sharpish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Koeman has apparently expressed some interest in Sissoko (nothing official). McCarthy was born in Glasgow and plays for Ireland. Perfect for the new Newcastle! Think they might chuck-in Colback as a make weight?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 If Sissoko leaves I'd be happy for us to throw money at a good CM. If he stays then all we need is a winger imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelveys Hair Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I like McCarthy a lot but reading he may need groin surgery.. so dont know where that puts us. "James McCarthy has a groin problem and we will decide tomorrow whether he needs an operation," the Dutchman said after the win over Stoke. Asked if he will let McCarthy leave in this transfer window, Koeman replied: “No. "There is more interest in players of Everton and we like to keep everybody and players like McCarthy need to stay."

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 After yesterday I'm pretty content with how we are looking. Mitrovic and Gayle to come back in, lazaar in today and Murphy for a bit of competition up front. Atsu or a left winger in and with how we looked yesterday id be very confident again after that early blip! I was banging on about a creative midfielder but if Hayden Shelvey and Diame carry on like that then there's no need! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
