1964 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I suspect we are trying to do just enough to get out of the championship whilst maintaining a lot of the current crop. If we do go back up I would expect that is when Benitez will go for bigger targets who we can't attract now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 People seem to really rate Bamford and I dont know why. Agree with you on this. He was poor at both Palace and Norwich so I have my doubts that he is premier league standard. He's proven he can do it in the championship though so a 1 year loan deal wouldn't be the worst business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrymac1966 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 We need more foreign players What about that Italian kid Abaka Denetta ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 As a player he was always solid, nothing more, really. He'd probably do a job as a squad player in the Championship. The move would be more about building a stronger dressing room than having an impact on the pitch. In that respect, it'd be a decent move. He'd be a great veteran addition to what's supposedly going to be a young defense.

toontownman Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Like the look of Assombalonga at Forest. Young and scores goals. Brilliant name too. Dembele at fulham too. That said we have 4 young strikers that could light the championship up. We need experience upfront imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Anichebe is one that should have gone down to the Championship 5 years ago and really looked to play every week and bang in goals to build up his confidence. I could see him doing well in the Championship tbh. He would be useful with his strength, athleticism and speed. He's on a free too, so could be a useful addition even if it was just as part of the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 He wouldn't even play 10 games, plus he's terrible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yeah, perhaps. He does get injured a lot. Was looking at Villa's team, and it looks like a really good squad for the Championship. They also have a guaranteed scorer for that division in Gestede. We really need to get the recruitment right this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see him breakthrough properly like Andy Carroll did down there. I think the lad will get a chance next year, but there's no way Rafa will let us go in to next season with an unproven striker at Championship level. I know he's smashed it in League One and should step up, but it would be silly to put that pressure on him and risk the goals we need for promotion.

arnonel Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I dont get it. We are happy to spend bajillions on no name french flops, but there is a young english striker ripping up League one in a mediocre+ team. If he wasnt ours we would be drooling over the prospect.
