Dave Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hopefully Sturridge. I can't see it myself but would love to see it happen. For me personally thats too bigger risk with him and being in a relegation battle. Relying on him not getting injured is not worth the risk. We will need goals to get us out of the shit for sure, but would this lad deliver and stay fit? Huge gamble in my eyes. Going to be the same problem with Ings though, which is our other apparent striking target. I doubt either are serious targets but more so rumours. Both present huge risk imo. I personally hope Rafa will have some surprises up his sleeve. Nobody media wise had a clue about our loan for Merino until it was near enough agreed. I'd love to see Sturridge here for his ability, his fitness (and probably his attitude) would scare the shit out of me though. Getting someone to come in to prove themselves for the World Cup and scoring a hatful of goals would be class like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 My main point was that he was at Watford on loan for a significant period of time yet could only muster 15 minutes that says it all to me.

Dave Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Does this means Rafa has no money to spend? Alternatively he wants to spend the money he does have elsewhere. This was someone he was willing to bring in during the summer, Dummett then got crocked in the first fucking match. My guess is it's just an easy win. Groundwork already done, wages already discussed. Player now even more out of favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Plays lots of positions, presumably very cheap for a 6 month loan, can be done quickly - already looking forward to his man of the match display vs Luton tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundwork already done, wages already discussed. Player now even more out of favour. My concern is I can't see him being a 'main' target. The Summer was slightly differed as he just wanted 'bodies'. But if there was money to spend albeit not a 'war chest' I would have thought he'd have spent some of it on a proven Left Back (assuming that's where he's play).

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Seems a pointless signing. We need first team quality not some kid with potential to develop for his parent club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that easy in Jan/with takeover/Ashley Agreed - but surely we could do better than someone who's barely played. Not really the signing you need when you're fighting to stay in the League - IMO.

Toondave Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 It's not even Christmas, I think this sort of talk would be better on Feb 1st. As a main signing he's underwhelming but there's every chance he's just the beginning. A player Rafa knows a lot about after going in in the summer and as a deal it was probably fairly easy to conclude if talks were as advanced in summer as suggested, seems a good deal for us all things considered. He'd really be going some to not improve our shower of shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I reckon it's out and out bollocks that. Even without the takeover, we'd be spending in this window to avoid relegation IMO.
