KaKa Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 21 minutes ago, Menace said: Brobbey needs 5 chances to score From what I've read the third striker is going to be a younger guy to develop further. And so the priority will likely be their desire to work and improve, as well as a perceived room for more growth. However, due to the injury history of the current two we have, the 3rd striker will still need to be someone with first team experience at a decent level as he will likely need to play a fair bit too. Taking that all into account it is likely to be someone like Brobbey that isn't the finished article yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 1 hour ago, KaKa said: Very very powerful front man. Holds off defenders very well and so the ball sticks. Also pretty mobile and dynamic, without having huge pace. Kind of plays with his back to goal in build up and has good link up play, and is really unselfish and sets up his team mates to score off of his hold up. Mostly scores in the box from close quarters. A bit like Lukaku in overall style of play, but plays with a ton more desire, energy and commitment, but perhaps doesn't have the natural talent level Lukaku does, as I'm not sure he's as quick or as consistent a finisher. So kind of like rondon do you think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be a good player and so will Miley, who will both be a part of our home grown quota and squad moving forward. Anderson is a better than decent ball carrier and has been more effective offensively with the caveat of having more playing time than our lad Miley. I tend to side with Eddie, who is quite obviously playing Miley out of necessity rather than desire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a signal but the noise is high. I think he might end up good enough but not in the middle. Edited December 13, 2023 by Jagten Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Unless we can get one of our top targets, I’d leave the business till the summer window. No need for stop gap signings now imo, once January comes, the schedule eases significantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for stop gap signings now imo, once January comes, the schedule eases significantly. Think this all depends on how realistically doable they see top 4. With the current lads (assuming no more mental runs with injury) we should be good for at least 6th once we get into the new year and have most of them back. If they want top 4 (and it is looking like it needs to be 4th with us and Man U going out at the group stage this year), we will likely need at least a couple, ideally 3. CM, forward who can play across the line, GK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 There was a report a little while back that targets would be clearer once we had an idea of whether or not we'd be continuing in Europe. Probably would have pushed the boat out more for more accomplished players if we were still involved in some European competition, but that will probably wait till the summer now. Likely look more at younger prospects with decent experience to flesh out the squad now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
