black_n_white Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 In a world we offload Woltemade or Wissa in the summer who would be on your list for a striker that can press from the top with pace? Granted, there are not many about, I also do not have much knowledge from the European leagues. I guess a player of the Thiago mold would be interesting?

Possibly Evanilson. Not sure elsewhere. Edited February 13 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a recent article saying we had been following Etta Eyong at Levante closely. Wasn't the greatest source, but he's young with room for growth, and has the physical profile you'd expect of a Howe forward and is a very hardworking pressing forward, and so it seemed to make sense. Apparently has a 40 million Euro release clause for Prem teams too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Samu ( a player who we asked about in the summer) did his ACL so that's one off the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 So important we get the keeper situation sorted like. Don't think it'd be an exaggeration to say Pope & Ramsdale have cost us about 8 points and two extra Champions League games between them this season.

But I can't help but think a few cans will have to be kicked this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Could be an interesting one. I know Brighton get caught out a lot being pressed but that's more to tactics. Don't particularly want us playing that way all the time but someone just capable of helping to improve the way we play out would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been on next to fuck all (in PL terms) at Burnley, so could easily have doubled or trebled going there without being on that much. Ramsdale’s obviously been on a canny whack at Arsenal, so unlikely he took a significant drop going to Southampton or here.

Soton loaned him to us for a reason. Will be really interesting what we do in the summer though, we've got a lot to do either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
