[Albion] So we all know there's a striker incoming - Who ?

[peterward]

Whatever is going on with recruitment I would suggest the press and therefore all of us are at least a week behind on what’s really going on. I think TB threw his cards in last week regards Núñez for example. Anyone mentioned Troy Deeney to us yet?

Troy Deeney, seriously? 32yo, and according to the Watford fans he's nowhere his previous levels. Watford also want to loan not sell allegedly.

That really would be pretty desperate stuff

 

[peterward]

As the story goes, Gomez was being lined up by Barca to replace Suarez. That may be total rubbish, but I still think it would be a hard deal for us to complete (would be ecstatic if we pulled it off though)

I hope we are after someone of Gomez's I'll, or at least a mysterious foreign import. Just something with excitement basically.

Couldn't think of a more meh signing than Dia if I tried. I'd rather just promote Gyokeres. And Brewster just kicks the 'replace Glenn Murray' can a further year down the road.

Nunez really would've been perfect, great shame we lost out, though it never really looked like he was coming here. Don't know why there are rumours of some Italian signing floating around, but that might be interesting.


Hopefully this is just the calm before the storm and we'll have a flurry of exciting signings, and we aren't just settling for mediocre.

Spot on fella!

And much sooner keep the 13 odd million to put it towards something better later, and loan someone this season. Better than trying more turd polishing by going for another average 'locadia'esque' dross squad filler.

What will it be? Barndoor Boulaye or Donkey Dia! the agony of choice

 

[Silverhatch]

If all else fails convert Dan Burn to centre forward!!

Watched the Albion for donkeys - and I know it's mad - but I agree.

 

[Frankworthington]

He is not an out-and-out striker but i wonder if there was more to the Lingard story than people realised?

A year-long loan with an option to buy perhaps?

 

[Swansman]

Like Rodrigo - Valencia would want to sell to a team outside La Liga.

As they can not pay their players and may be unable to begin the new season, I dont think they care where the money come from.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Dan Burn’s going up front and will be the first player in league history to surpass the 20 goal mark without ever using his feet.

Totally agree! Surprised he’s not been mentioned though.

 

[Swansman]

He's been mentioned here and there as someone people absolutely do not want...

Personally wouldnt mind him as a backup/rotational player, but I would prefer... most players.

Danny Wellbeck on loan, with an option, wouldn’t surprise me.
Similar to the Mooy deal.
I’d be happy with this, if he was fit. Big if, I give you.

Really? Wow, I would be quite disappointed with that personally. He seems like a Palace or Hammers type signing. Doesn’t fit our model.

Yeah, he wouldn’t be a sexy signing. I have a hunch he has a good season in him, with the carrot of the Euros in 2021. Looks like he’s going to Saints anyway. I’d sooner Wellbeck than....no one. Talk of Gómez and even Nunez is a little fanciful imho.

He would be permanently in the treatment room.
It's a no from me.

 

[b.w.2.]

I doubt it!

I have a sinking feeling but would be happy with Dia.

Fancy coming out of retirement Frank?

I thought that Watkins would be at Villa by now. As we keep our powder dry I can see that this has more credibility as the window progresses.
I think we are playing a waiting game with the big fish to catch potentially being at the end of the window. In most windows it’s a hot market and prices creep up. This one is different and quite possibly a bit of patience will pay off.

‘A bit of patience’ will mean we are left with the dregs and panic buys. Terrible strategy.

that is what it means, whereas others have their targets in and ready, the others are fighting over the last turkeys in the shop

very much my thoughts re Watkins..

More likely:-

Dan Burn’s going up front and will be the first player in league history to have 20 goals disallowed by VAR.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Is Akinfenwa available?

Or could Adam Virgo be tempted out of retirement?

This is all beginning to make my bald spot itch.
