Not Another Ashley Barnes Thread

[Munkfish]

Ulloa over Barnes any day if I had to pick. I'm hoping for some pace up top. I was hopeful it would be Abraham...our chances are.diminishing by the day sadly.

Abraham isnt going to offer a huge amount of pace.

He's way way quicker than any player we currently have.

We dealt with Abraham quite well, both home and away. I know we have a good defensive line up, but it was still a Championship back four.

I agree we did. I think however you are doing our defense a disservice. It was the best if not the second best in the league. You could say Nottingham Forests defence was a championship defence. They are not comparible,

My point was that Abraham may have pace, but he doesn't have guile.

Spot on.

You would think that only-Championship-proven-so-far TA was the answer to all our PL striking prayers, the hype he's been given since he failed to score against us at The Amex.

He'll probably develop into a very good target man, but he isn't a pace merchant (Defoe, Mane, Vardy).

He's off to Geordies anyway.

For the Albion, I hope we bring in both a target man and a pacey striker, who can score at the highest level.
