Who plays up front for Arsenal if nketiah gets injured now? Do city have anyone after haaland and Alvarez? Do teams actually need 3 strikers?


 Suppose there is a question mark on whether Isak can consistently lead the line in his own or whether he will end up as a support striker.

 

Im sure Howe knows what he wants to do and whether we need a third striker.

Good business. Ultimately he doesn’t fit into how we want to play football. Did a job for us when we achieved our number 1 objective of staying up. Not good enough to stay now though.

Hopefully we bring in someone young and raw who won't expect to play every week, but can grow into the team over the next few seasons, eventually taking Wilson's place as he ages out and challenging Isak for the starting spot.

A good professional, not a bad word to say about him personally and hope it works out. Those goals last season were critical, and he's a nerveless penalty taker, even if it didn't really click with him here.

 

In the future, you can't see him being much more than a defensive / injury sub for us, just as he was used during the Arsenal game - so probably best for all concerned.

 

In which case, I take it all back and all hail Shola, hi-ho the loan-arranger!

Good shithousery signing at the time which contributed to Burnley taking up one of the relegation spots, ultimately not good enough for what we need moving on.

 

The fact we've loaned him out 12 months after paying £25 million for him proves the owners aren't fucking about, I'm now convinced we'll bring a couple of purples in before the window shuts.

Don't care how many forwards other teams have. We need 3 because:

 

1. Wilson has paper legs and misses 50% of a season.

2. We don't have wide forwards who can play a false 9 or even play legitimate striker roles.

Why do Forest need players on loan, have they not bought like 25 players since being promoted?  Suppose if they need striker cover, it would be good to loan them Wood over the alternative because then he'll be cup tied and leave them light upfront for the final :bluestar:

Good luck to him.

 

He came in when we looked nailed on for relegation, he tried hard and never complained or hid, not the best player but put the effort and commitment in.

 

I would always cheer him if he plays against us, one of the good guys, ultimately not good enough but not his fault, definitely not a Michael Owen ex-player.

Hoping for a wide forward type, that can cover as a 9, if need be.  It would be great to have a genuine option to come on for Miggy and perhaps more of a goal threat than ASM/Big Joe/Little Joe if played wide left.  

 

Howe and Ashworth have both referenced shifting players, before we bring anyone in.  So let's hope this sets the wheels in motion.

Wouldn’t be against taking Emmanuel Dennis on a short term loan the other way. Allows us a bit more time to find a replacement and strengthens our negotiation position when we do

A bad egg apparently.

He's just looked overwhelmed since he arrived, he knew he isn't a £25m player and was signed out of desperation, I think that's weighed on him.

 

He did the job he was brought in to do in contributing to us staying up and good luck to him, it's not his fault he's not good enough for the level we now play at.
