What matters is how many fit strikers we have on Friday. or rather for West Brom.

By 11pm tomorrow we'll know if it was yet another clever stroke by TB, or whether CH has been left with a toothless squad.

Only 1 international cap for Senegal, bit worrying.
Really do hope Bloom has played his cards right (as usual), but do just have a nagging feeling that we'll end up paying well over the odds for a Babacar type player. Saying that, I'm sure leaving the Niasse deal until the last day will probably mean getting him for a lot less than the £10m Everton want.
Anyway, we'll see...

On his last warning
Judging by the youtube clips. He seems like he plays best at holding the ball up, winning headers and getting on the end of crosses. He looks especially good at linking up play. He's got a very nice 1st touch, very Murryesque at times.
If we did manage to bring him in, he will surely need another centre forward playing off him. Maybe we are going for 2?

Not true.
Crystal palace have one.
No coincidence the only two sides not to score are palace and us.

Does he have decent pace, to suit our new counter attacking from deep game plan?

Perhaps it was? Who knows?

He definitely has pace and power. He just doesn't seem lightening quick when running with the ball, probably because he's better off linking up than going solo.
If we managed to bring this man in and also the Porto forward. That could really be a potent combination upfront. 2 strong centre forwards, one is immense at hanging in the air and linking up play, the other has trickery and the want to run with the ball, and yet they both can finish and both have good 1st touches.
But will it happen?
Of course it will.

Those pesky football fans who have the temerity to express views, concerns, complaints, and even god forbid mention player targets and fees. Especially if those views are at odds with other fans.

Maybe he's referring to those who give the impression of knowing more people with say years of experience? ..I could be wrong of course......i'm just a lowly punter

These aren't the players you're looking for.

No problem with others expressing opposing views, just as long as they don't get sensitive when I point out they probably don't have a clue about how transfers work and they have bugger all to complain about when they take stock and look where we would be without Tony Bloom and his staff.

The Porto forward?

The fact this got leaked out suggests Fiorentina are looking to sell, just at the right price.
