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

[sparkie]

Since Mac Allister signed a contract extension I have thought we might be going back in for his mate Nick Gonzalez at Fiorentina - especially if Trossard is tempted away. Who knows.

 

[Jeremiah]

Golas reigning in from all areas now (except our striker) - maybe Potter and RDZ are right we don't need a striker !

 

[Weststander]

Judging by the Chelsea Game it's clear enciso also carries a threat.

Those drives into the box at great pace, cause mayhem.

 

[The Wookiee]

Only 6 teams have scored more than us - he could be right

"Party line" and "party line"... those in football and those who watch football frequently have different views on subjects like this.

If you have a dull day at some point and want to venture into the archives, you'll find that on every single substantial silly season-thread on this forum - from 2003 onwards - you'll find someone saying "we must sign one or two new strikers".

Likewise, every single football forum is the same thing. "Need one or two new strikers up front", "lmao can't believe the club isn't signing another striker", "blah blah".

I think the thrill over a new player, especially one in a position that traditionally scores goals, frequently manifests itself through some kind of projection... they want their personal desire for a new striker also to be some kind of necessity for the club.

I probably watch a similar amount if not more football than you. But thanks for the patronising comments.

There will always be doubts on Welbeck fitness, Trossard may be sold in the Summer and there are still big question marks over the quality of Undav. Not to forget if we do make Europe that’s even more games for very few players to play in. But sure we don’t need an another striker.

[DavidinSouthampton]

I suggest Chelsea will make that decision

I presume the emoji means that is tongue in cheek! Chelsea can go get stuffed.
if Arsenal win tomorrow, we’ll be above Chelsea without them having a game in hand. Why would Leo want to go to a smaller club anyway?

 

[Zeberdi]

… I am still not convinced a/ it is necessary ( because of the midfielders we have who are very capable of getting forward and scoring goals …It will be very interesting to see how today’s 4,5,1 line up v Wolves does in the light of this discussion!

Not too shabby a result - could still improve the conversion rate but phew today eh?

 

[dwayne]

We've scored 5 more than Chelsea and man u.

Mental.

 

[Justice]

March scoring goals all he had to do was lift the ball in the net today, mission impossible.

 

[brighton_tom]

Our goals scored column in the table is pretty healthy. Maybe we don’t need one. Trossard, Welbeck, Undav, and Ferguson will be fine options this season.

Well, Adam Lallana has an emphatic view on this subject, speaking on Radio Sussex this evening:

“All this talk that we need a striker, is a load of rubbish!”

Exactly

We scored 3 goals today with a 4,5,1 line up and none of them by the striker out front.

I wonder sometimes if I am watching a different team to some people here!

 

[Mellotron]

Lets see what happens at the WC. A couple of big goals there could change everything.

 

[chaileyjem]

Lallana has his say ..

And FOUR last week

 

[maltaseagull]

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

With Trossard and Gross and even Lallana scoring, not sure we do!

 

[maltaseagull]

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.

How many has Gross scored?

 

[Guinness Boy]

I agree with Lallana, he’s spot on. Seven goals in 2 games. Doesn’t matter who gets them
