TRC Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 29 minutes ago, Krabbe2 said: Should have brought in an attacking player for the summer of 2023. With CL matches, the match coverage for Wilson and Isak, who are made of glass, becomes completely impossible. But the choice fell on Hall, obviously who has barely played 20 minutes. Wrong prioritization is my opinion. Whoever is in charge of our recruitment probably needs replacing. Hall - no idea why we signed him Barnes - Good player, but Gordon is our best LW, Joelinton/Willock, Anderson can play there. Tonali - Bad luck, maybe not the right profile of player though? Livra - Good signing, but should still be playing more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Disagree like, Barnes is class. Gordon’s got so much to his game that he’ll end up playing multiple roles whereas Barnes will be LW. Livramento is genuinely amazing and the best buy we’ve had apart from Bruno for the money spent. Hall is clearly the problem signing there. For the money that we need to pay for him to become our player, it really isn’t looking like money (potentially) well spent. Tonali will be great for us, provided he’s mentally fine and committed to us. Maybe we pretended to sign Hall via this loan with a conditional buy in order to drop his value and utterly fuck Chelsea. 4D chess coming into effect if we don’t sign him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) I think we will look to sign someone of the Joao Pedro/Ekitike mould in the summer should the right target be attainable, a versatile forward that can play centrally would add so much selection value at the moment. I also think there’s a decent chance Wilson stays on for another season if both parties will be happy with him playing a lesser role.

Pilko Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 12 weeks fuck off man. Absolutely need shot of him in the summer. Been a brilliant player, an unreal scoring record during the Bruce days particularly and someone I'll always remember fondly but his injury record is a joke. Not like it's even one recurring issue either, you'd think he was held together with sellotape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilcline Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Wouldn't surprise me at all if he stayed next season because no-one will pay for him, we subsequently use him as the 3rd choice/donkey striker here and there - he decides/realises this is about what he can manage now then ends up staying another year or two on reduced terms playing the same sort of role.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Quite unimpressed by our recruitment team on their decision to not pursue a striker (even a loan option) over both windows. Relying on Isak and Wilson to be fit for significant periods over a full season seemed fanciful, at best. A sale to the Saudi league in the summer would be a great option for all parties.

Likelylad Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Would a promoted team not take a punt on him to rotate? He’ll still get goals if fit. Big if obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Should have sold and replaced him when we could still have got good money tbh. Makes no sense having two injury prone, albeit very good, strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Time to just cut our losses and move him on for whatever we can get for him. It's not his fault he's injury-prone but he's no good whatsoever to us as he misses as many matches as he's available for. Seems a canny bloke but we can't rely on him to stay fit for longer than a month and that's just not acceptable. He's just a talented crock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) 59 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said: Could see someone like Brentford taking a punt once Toney goes. £15-18m or so. Really? He's literally the most un-Brentford signing possible. They're data led and sign players on the up within a very restricted wage bracket. Like Brighton the only aging players they go for are unspectacular free transfers - e.g. Ben Mee. The case in point here being they just spent £32 million on a 22 year old Brazilian striker from Brugge in anticipation of replacing Toney. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/feb/14/brentford-announce-30m-signing-of-club-brugge-striker-igor-thiago Edited February 15 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouldy_uk Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) So basically he’s got a broken tit? Thanks for the service Callum, but I’ll be very disappointed if he’s at the club next season (unless it’s as a third choice striker with a very strong backup for Isak) Edited February 15 by mouldy_uk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
