Guest Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I wonder if the plan might be to roll the dice on two strikers (plus Joelinton if desperate) and put the saved wages towards any midfield reinforcements (until the end of the season) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 If this is happening, I'm really surprised it's come now. I was expecting him to be here at least until this summer if not until the end of his contract. Credit to the club for working out a deal rather than letting things fester. Best of luck to him. I'm one of the ones who thinks he played an important role for us last season. I dread to think what the alternatives were given all the circumstances. But we were never going to get more than 6 months of real benefit out of him and just had to sink the money in to make things happen. Since then he's been consistently declining for us despite not being that old. Still, that was a massive 6 months for the club's overall future.

ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Really hopeful this sees some movement in the market in the next couple of weeks. It suggests we're keen to not stand still, and are willing to be ruthless to make things happen to improve the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems a decent guy, I’d have taken the chance he did and he’s popped a few in. In our position, not sure what more you could ask from a 3rd choice forward. Good luck to him I don’t hate him. I hated him playing for us. Different things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Good luck to him and I echo the thoughts of the chaps who thanked him for last season! We were DESPERATE for a centre-forward and he provided us with a focal point and we weakened a then relegation rival who ended up going down! A vital equaliser at Southampton and the winner vs Wolves! He played a part in the crucial first chapter of our glorious new era! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Almost certainly something lined up then, if Wilson gets Wilsoned again we are left with Isak and then Joe as a crisis option. Edited January 19, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 It's not so much getting a striker in. Having 3 out and out centre forwards is always a bit much in the era of 1 striker systems. Wood was redundant once we got Isak. only the timing of that signing and his injury has kept him around this long. A wide player or attacking midfielder can gives us more impetus/flexibility than having Wood on the bench. And ideally could be an emergency option upfront. I really hope this is the thinking.
