The Prophet Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 It's pretty hard to either "attack" or "defend" the club based on conjecture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is indeed a target, we'd have known all summer that Dennis and Sarr were both likely to be sold so why not go in earlier? Dennis is gone now and Sarr will likely follow. I'm not sure any team in world football would sell all of their first choice front 3 in the same window. So maybe trying to get in before they sell Sarr?

We need someone who can be second to Wilson then come in once he gets injured PLUS a wide player who can provide those said goals and assists from wide areas which likely will be a player from Chelsea on loan going off the media. Every player that was already at the club has improved by virtue of the huge improvement on Bruce. Jury's still out on whether he has improved any of his signings.

bowlingcrofty Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Just now, PlymouthGeordie said: Where did I jump to a "dramatic conclusion"? Forest agreed a fee for Dennis on Thursday so we likely bid after that given our bid reportedly went in at the end of last week. You literally haven’t answered my question. I’m not sure if you’ve quoted the right post here or you’re just plain stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going thru a list of targets. You don’t jump to 4th or 5th on the list incase that club happens so sell another forward. We probably hoped for Sesko or Ramos and it’s not happened so down the list we go Edited August 15, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Why are people gasping to jump to conclusions anyway?

You compared this link to Forest signing Aouar and claimed something must be wrong at the club. That is ridiculous man This is a young back up striker, so what does one have to do with the other exactly? I thought it was a silly, worst outlook possible reaction.

I'm not sure any team in world football would sell all of their first choice front 3 in the same window. I believe because we are looking to add three additional players one of which will be on loan, a midfielder, a winger, and a centre forward. Chelsea happen to have all of what we are looking for, not that, but are willing to loan them as well. So we are waiting to see what we can get from Chelsea for now, that is what I think is happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Genuine question but how are people watching enough of Watford and Pedro to be able to fully assess if he's good enough for us? Have they been on TV much? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) 19 minutes ago, gdm said: I mean for as poor as his goal stats are he just can’t look as bad as wood so from that stand point the comparisons are ridiculous. I’d just like a prospect that can show he can score even in the championship. I’ll obviously give him a chance but our budget will be more than halved so would need to be a hell of a loan signing on the wing/midfield I'd be more concerned about his goal scoring if Watford were a team that used the ball well and played our kind of style under Howe, but their football is poor. Even this season I've watched their first two games and they do nothing with the ball. Joao Pedro's attributes seem very well suited to Howe's football. Wood is an awful fit in comparison, his link up play isn't good enough, his movement isn't great, and he just seems slow to react to what is happening around him in this style we are now playing. He seems too used to a very direct style like he had with Burnley with an aggressive focal point in Barnes next to him.

gdm Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) As I said if we sign him he’ll get my full support. I’ve mentioned a few times we really need to add quality to our bench. I’d be confident of Ramos coming off the bench and bringing some goal threat up front can’t say I feel the same about JP Quick question about the club looking at players that can play across the front 3. Does anyone think the signing of Joao Pedro puts paid to signing a right sided forward as he can play there? Maybe our efforts will go to a midfielder like Maddison or Paqueta (budget depending) Edited August 15, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
