[Albion] When will we sign THE striker?

[Stat Brother]

I can't be the only person that sees a thread like this from The Dear Leader and thinks:-

'oh goodie a new striker is putting pen to paper today'.

 

[nicko31]

Last minute, but this time we will

 

[Murray 17]

I would say it's no more than 50:50 that we'll sign anyone at all.

The club's inflexibility on its wage structure, will probably mean that the quality that we want won't play for the wages we pay.

I hope I'm wrong!

Final day.

They will be from a slightly exotic country (Sweden, Japan, etc).

We WON'T have heard of them except a few on here who really keep up with world leagues. One person will say they're absolute quality, another will say they're pony.

They will have a decent scoring record somewhere like the Belgian or Turkish league.

Well there isn't a single player in Turkey's top 15 goalscorers that fits the Albion's profile. https://uk.soccerway.com/national/turkey/super-lig/20172018/regular-season/r42332/?ICID=TN_02_01_07

That's one shitehouse list, and guess who doesn't even appear in that!


Belgium is better, https://uk.soccerway.com/national/belgium/pro-league/20172018/regular-season/r41608/ starting with the Iranian Kevin Rezaei currently scoring for RSC Charleroi.



Oh and a little more trawling finds the next Raphael D

Ladies and gentlemen it gives me great pleasure to introduce you too...


...Boureima Hassane Bandé



He is my pick for this window, I've never been wrong before, so fill your boots.
(All based on the goal after 3 minutes)

Perhaps a better question might have been:-

'How many more points will be dropped by not signing THE striker?'

I think that should have read before signing a striker rather than not signing one but I suppose it boils down to the same points dropped. or thrown away.

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Another name to Bandé about.

 

[severnside gull]

I'm being super optimistic and saying that having dropped more easy points & proved at West Brom that we can't hit a barn door with a ****ing banjo, we will finally get someone in

 

[MattBackHome]

We won't get one.
Everyone will say we are doomed
We will finish 12-14th.

Then in August we'll finally sign Gameiro, Calleri and Mbeko.

We are making the same mistake as Boro did last season and we all know where they ended up. I’m really disappointed we don’t seem to have a clue with recruitment of strikers.

*guarantee that we will unveil an off the radar signing later today!

I assumed that we would currently be discussing whether our new striker was likely to start at
WBA or be on the bench after the summer failure.

Not that confident so voted no striker in the hope id be wrong again.

 

[Napper]

honestly thought after the f k up of the summer and how at times we've looked absolutely toothless that we would of got at least 1 in the first week Jan.

Starting to feel familiar with the press releases.

Therfore voted we wont but suspect maybe a late loan as a punt.

We need 2/3

Announcement of what ? A special breakfast pie at the Chelsea game ?

Pardon? This is a thread about a new striker announcement is it not?

 

[djentist]

Who are we kidding, we won't

 

[luppers]

I am thinking of a comment made by Alan Sheerer the other week on MOD that lots of teams are looking for a 20 goal striker,but where are they to be found. I have faith the team are trying their best to find one but it clearly aint easy. Roll on end of transfer window so we can stop reading all the cobblers on here on who we are and are not going to sign.

Although Boro signed Alvaro Negrado - a pretty big named striker that one. Didn’t exactly go well for them.

Yes, maybe my wording was blunter than I really meant.

I just think any announcement today will be about pies or parking or programs rather than the elusive new recruit.

 

[Wardy's twin]

need to sign him so they can play against WBA ..
