[Albion] RDZ - “we don’t need a striker in January”

[chaileyjem]

…because Welbeck and Trossard can play in that position”
Also wants Solly to “score more” , likes Mitoma - wants him to play 2-3 games “in a row”.
Says he will sit down during World Cup with the recruitment team and talk about what he needs.

Roberto De Zerbi not targeting a striker for Brighton in January

Roberto De Zerbi isn’t targeting a striker for Brighton in January. The Italian head coach’s side destroyed Chelsea 4-1 last Saturday with opening goal scorer Leandro Trossard playing as the No 9 in place of the ill Danny Welbeck. De Zerbi says: “We don’t need a striker in...

Zerbi OUT.

 

[A mex eyecan]

just gone right off him ….

WE supporters want one, so there

 

[Springal]

Excellent. Look forward to Welbeck, March & Trossard continuing in their rich goal scoring form to take us into Europe this season

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I saw that and was very happy. Means he doesn't expect any loss of our great players.

 

[beorhthelm]

tad naive about english league, wont get through the winter with Trossard and Welbeck available every game. and relying on those two alone for goals is misguided too. hopefully the recruitment team will have a word.

No mention of Undav, telling

Wonder if Connolly will bowl back in over the summer with his new fluent Italian twang

I think he's keeping Welbeck on a short leash and sliding in Enciso as often as he can.

 

[Icy Gull]

BW2 will be incandescent with rage

 

[GT49er]

Good for him. We've had enough people bleating about how we must spend a fortune on a striker or we're relegation bound without having the manager joining in!

 

[Frankworthington]

We are DOOMED!! Where is b. W. 2 when you need him?

Lol

 

[Husty]

People assuming this is what he actually thinks and not what he’s been told to say under duress from Barber…

Yep, written into every manager’s contract. Never suggest we need to sign strikers

 

[Motogull]

If he's hinting that Leo is staying, that's lovely.

Filth.

Is that what you actually think, or what you've been told to say under duress from b.W.2?

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I agree with the manager. The game isn't played with an out and out striker anymore...or at least we don't. Multi positional is the name of the game and with the likes of Ferguson, Peupion and Miller or even Moran looking the part in the u21's, we have enough up and coming cover to keep NSC bleating for the next couple of years!

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

We may not need a striker but we need more goalscorers. Whether that’s a striker, winger, attacking midfielder etc. is just semantics.

 

[macbeth]

just as well, cause he wasn't getting one!

on a serious note, if he says we don't need one then so be it. but surely that means he has assurances that we're holding on to leo
