He'd be third choice playing the system we are in now and he'd have a good shout of starting a reasonable number of games if we play 2 up top.

We just have to pray Wilson stays fit I'm just meaning Wood isn't our only striker, Gayle just never strings enough games together to get any consistency, he's a really good finisher tbf, but its if he'll get the chances. Think obviously Wilson is the best at the club, but we can certainly still look to Gayle, we'd be mad to let him leave on loan to a champo club, if this is it, and I'm assuming were finished for the night?

Mattoon Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'll echo the sentiments, an excellent bit of business, extremely excited to see Bruno in action but can't shake feeling concerned about our lack of firepower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get rid of Fraser, Ritchie, Krafth, Gayle, Hayden, Dummett, Hendrick, Clark, Darlow, Wood - relegation means a number of those will stay and I don’t think I can handle that I'd hope 90% of them would get moved on even if we are relegated. Those players won't get you promoted from the Championship anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or tbh I could quite easily see Gayle and Wilson both leaving. Wilson as good as he is, is a liability in terms of injuries. Wilson and Gayle out and 2 new strikers in.

I’ve just seen us bidding for two top class centre backs in the January window. If Wood is one of our three strikers next season I’ll be worried.

Whether he’s got time is another matter. he might stop them shipping goals, but it’ll result in them scoring less too. His Palace side had loads of attacking flair and were worse to watch than us under Bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWTL Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Feel abit deflated we didn't get another attacking player but only because we had 2 today that both looked very likely but overall very pleased. Considering the last 14 years and the effort the club has taken to get the best they can I'm pleased. Yes it still going to be a fight to stay up but we are definitely in a better position now. So much more confidence now for the future and if we stay up just think of the next few windows and finally having a team to be really proud off.

toontownman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Pretty gutted we haven't added another attacking piece. We really needed another. A solid 7/10 window. No right to have got Bruno and Tripps. The other 3 are solid additions. Time for Fraser, Almiron and willock to step up. Hopefully Wilson is back sooner than expected and stays fit.

I don’t constantly judge and assess my current partner based on my ex. Equally, I wouldn’t put up with my job being crap if my previous one was even shitter. Aye, if we still had Ashley it’s incomprehensible how bleak the current season would be. But we don’t have Ashley, had a balance of £100m+ to play with and it’s okay to step back and say “maybe we could have spent that a bit better in some places, or made that deal sooner, or did this rather than that”. Hopefully it’s enough. Really excited by the potential of the summer though. Nah that’s a fair point. It’s more the attitude of certain people on Twitter that’s irked me. We have to realise the situation we’re in. Certain clubs had no intention to sell to us. Some players wouldn’t come due to our current circumstance and obviously due to ffp we don’t have a blank cheque book to spend whatever we want.
