Guest Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 1 minute ago, Doctor Zaius said: I think Gordon can play as a third choice striker, as opposed to bringing in a player over the hill/mercenary willing to sit on the bench. Ordinarily you could have Barnes, Joelinton or even Almiron filling in on the left Guessing once it gets to January we can at least unregister Tonali to free up a slot somewhere in the squad somewhere.

KaKa Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Someone said we should have kept Chris Wood yesterday! It's going to have to be someone that's not top notch as no one is giving up their strikers without a big fee. Who do you guys think could be a good shout then? Interested to see what folks think.

ponsaelius Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Gordon as third choice striker would normally be absolutely fine IMO. The issue is we have Barnes, Murphy, Anderson etc out so have massive issues in terms of other options to play wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, that was James. Not the worst thing he's ever posted on here surprisingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking around I've been seeing mentions of the likes of Toney, Boniface and even Osimhen regarding a striker signing. Think there's going to be quite the meltdown from folks in January.

Shearergol Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 We're not signing a striker in January, unless both Wilson and Isak pick up long-term injuries. I suspect we'll look for Wilson's replacement in summer though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I thought Pedro was the one to get but seemingly in the end we lost interest. How is he doing at Brighton? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Didn’t we get like £15m for Wood by the way? There is no scenario on earth where that wasn’t the right decision to sell. I’d play Dummett at striker if I had to, as long as im getting that 15m for Wood. Edited November 8, 2023 by Decky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Since wood left we are short of third striker that can come in and play while isak and Wilson rest.we have a striker on the books kuol whether hes ready yet or not it would be better than shifting most our team around to fill in positions they're not 100% comfortable in. I mean we are bringing the academy products to our bench already so what harm would kuol have done keeping him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanegg Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Big Joe can do a job up top if needed, he was definitely playing up front of some sorts last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Ferguson would be ideal, but would cost an absolute bomb, you'd think. But as a young striker who could rotate, get plenty of game time, and eventually take the number 9 shirt, he's probably top of my (admittedly very limited) list. Coming back down to earth, I can't think who we could get in January. Would a loan for Ekitike be ridiculous? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
