timeEd32 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 If there's anything in that there's no chance we're rushing him back in four days with a two week break on the other side. Joelinton - Gordon - Miggy on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting that much back for Wood is arguably the best bit of business we've done since the takeover and I'm one of those who think he fulfilled his role in that run to end the 21-22 season.

gbandit Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 A James classic, a mistake to sell Wood. Howay man, even you can’t believe that. Just because we don’t have three strikers doesn’t mean the answer was keeping Wood Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 We are in a predicament like isak since joining seems to get injuries that take a while to shake off. Wilson cannot play more than a game a week. Surely howe must know this and could of kept kuol or minteh with that in mind until January. With the amount of games we had to play we started the season really light at the top end of the pitch with him sending them both out on loan.

Kuol was a sub in the a league and Minteh had just broken through in Denmark, it’s kinda obvious neither of these kids would be ready this season.

Stottie Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 If its Hope, can we shoot the messenger? The guy is a non-stop stream of negativity, much like the paper he works for. Wilson has no problem with ability for where we are in 2023. That goals per minute record is not a fluke. A bit more luck with Isak, injured on international duty FFS, and we'd be able to give Wilson the rest he needs. The backstory about no number three is FFP and years of neglect that will hold us back for still some time to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloGeordio Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Gordon will step in if needed. We’ll have enough for Bournemouth. Then some players can rest. Tripps could do without international games atm!

Not sure anyone else has that option though, They just sold a really, really promising young striker. Don’t know what else they’ve got tucked away, but Cole Palmer is going to be a world class striker. Would have loved us to sign him. £40m would have probably seems a lot/been too big a stretch FFP wise, but he’d be starting for us now.

KDT Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 This could be pretty harsh as he's probably not even playing at 90% fitness but he has looked a level below the quality & possibly physicality required for the CL, it's a shame he's had to wait to this point in his career to get to it rather than 2-3 years ago.

KaKa Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Third striker possibility I'd love to hear people's opinion on. Kelechi Iheanacho. 27 years old. Top level experience with Man City and Leicester. Contract up in June of next year and so would be available for a good price. No more than £20 million max I imagine. Thoughts?

Seen him ruin far too many straightforward chances.

Obviously I'm more biased because he's a Super Eagle, and so would still love to see him realise that talent he has. Because of Howe getting the best of players is the only reason I could see it maybe working. January is going to be tough to get in a quality striker and so wondered if he might be an easy deal to do due to his contract situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
