bowlingcrofty Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I reckon we’ll sign one new “big money” striker and an up and coming player (Ekitike etc). Wilson will still very much be a first team player and Wood will be a squad option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll buy one new striker and Wilson will share the duties with whoever that is. He'll still be one of our top players, we just won't be so reliant on him. Not sure we can afford to buy only one new striker. Wilson gets injured to often to be relied upon for an entire season. Definitely agree with the other post that we need 2 new strikers, one big signing and a youngster (18-21yrs old). If Howe decides to play 2 up top then the 4 strikers will all get plenty of game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the part I was disagreeing with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the part I was disagreeing with. Right I understand, so you're saying when we bring in another main striker, he and Wilson would then both become first choice. That then leaves the new youngster and Wood as bench options. Only works ofcourse if we play 2 up top but it's definitely possible. Also all depends on form and injury etc. I do think Wilson would benefit from not being the only striker, in terms of not being over worked and therfore more prone to injury.

Guest HTT II Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I like Wilson, he’s a very capable goalscorer when fit, but we can do much better than him now and should look to do so in the summer, which I think we will.

Ikon Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Get a 1st choice striker plus a player that can play wide forward as well as centrally. Then we have three plus wood. Because we need at least one wide player anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would suggest Wilson getting sold. I don't think that's going to happen, I think we'll buy a top striker to compete with Wilson, and maybe a younger one for the future. Depends how highly Howe thinks of Wilson I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 It's about time we get some youth into the squad. We brought in the experience in January, let's go for the exciting prospects in the summer to complement them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 New top class striker New younger striker Wilson Wood 4 strikers is even pretty conservative in a squad isn't it. Remember teams having 5 on the books, us included. Especially if they are versatile and can also play out wide etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
