[Football] Transfer Deadline Day no. 1

[Springal]

Walcott & Yedelin to Stains

 

[peterward]

Cochrane to USG on loan.

Kinda makes sense, I guess if he shines and we needed him back, it’s not going to be a problem.

Suggesting Dunk to Liverpool.... Most likely bollox

 

[peterward]

I had to ask as the growing trend seems to be suggesting playing wingers as utility strikers, if you included Izquierdo with Trossard and Alireza as our backup forwards you’d have to worry about their combined 13 goals in 110+ senior appearances for the club.

You don’t say....... and the reason you don’t is for those obvious reasons!

They’re not strikers. They are not solutions to the loss of Maupay or Connolly.
Make do and mend just won’t work at the top table of the best league in the world, no matter how many times Potter parrots the clubs ‘happy with what we have’ PR.

There does seem to be an army of fans who genuinely don’t see any problem with our depth upfront, I’m not sure if I’m being ridiculous for thinking we’re one injury from catastrophe.

Well if you are, I’m ridiculous with you.

Is the lack of variety for me. Maupay and Connolly are similar. We don’t have something different to change tactics. That said I along with everyone else have no idea how good/bad/U23s Zeqirri is. I’d be surprised if there’s not some move for a player today and then even less surprised that we don’t land the player.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

I like our depth and youth everywhere except the obvious striker (we've said for years one light) and LWB. We could get by without the LWB if fiddle system but a couple injuries up front would be disaster.

Are they expecting Andone to play this season or something?

I think he’s due back in December.

I'm quite happy with Ali J, Tross, Alexis Mac and this new lad Zakiri as back up should we need them.

 

[chaileyjem]

Can I just confirm, are you suggesting Izquierdo as a potential striker?

he's an attacking option i think is the phrase in vogue and gives Potter some more flexibility but he's a long way from being match fit and - to confirm - i'm not saying he's a striker. Because he isn't.

 

[chaileyjem]

We're 12 games or so from the January window opening - so we'll have 20 or so games left if we make new signings then.
Andone was injured again in June - another cruciate injury - these can take months to recover from. So far too early to predict a return date.

I’m still sold on the point we need a unit (6 foot plus) of a striker purely on recent performances to:

1) provide aerial threat on attacking set pieces
2) provide aerial support on defending set pieces


Andy Carroll anyone [emoji6]

Exactly, not a Potter type player at all

Still our best PL goal IMO.

Re goals from Ali, Jose etc......ratios may not be good enough now but need extended spells under Potter to properly judge perhaps. Were never likely to get many in a Hughton formation.

 

[The Wizard]

Chances of Iziquerdo ever staying fit enough for long enough for us to know if he’s be any good in a Potter style of play? Given his injury record over the past 2 years you’d have to say highly unlikely.

Well, there goes the 'No D*ckh**ds' policy.

To those thinking we could get by with Ali J, Trossard and Ally Mac - it would certainly be interesting. I saw a Harry Redknapp team go with just two wide men up front, but they both had blazing speed, and the game plan was they would chase long balls played over the top of slow central defenders. None of our three have even smouldering speed. Lamptey, though ...?

These are a good goal.

Mo Salah and Raheem Sterling aren't strikers, but were still their respective clubs' top scorers last season.

Dia... no
