will we sign a new striker before man city game

[pishhead]

Certainly not before the weekend. Hughton alluded to the fact that it may be a player who isn't currently available.

Where did he say this?

 

[pishhead]

Where did he say this?

In his post match press conference on Sunday when asked where our priority lied with regards to recruitment.

 

[Albion Robster]

Said in another thread, we should take a punt on Danny Ings.

I reckon that's a winger to replace skalak.

I am sure that WA on BBC Sussex said that Danny Ings is not fully fit due to another injury.

Perhaps. Hopefully Tom Lawrence to replace him.

So .will we sign a new striker before man city game .i think we will have a new one today ??

I think we will have one before the end of the transfer window.

Like TB said.

Now I'm off to look at the other new striker threads....

 

[casbom]

It's pretty clear what type of Striker we're after as we know we were keen on Abrahams. He is a No 9, who can hold the ball up, scores goal but more importantly is quick as well.

So we are looking for that same type of player IMO. I know we would love to get another Baldock type but let's face it, we're not going to go with 2 strikers very often like last year, so as someone else said, we're ensuring we have quality in the AM role instead.

It does beg the question though, if we're going for a new No 9 what does that mean for Murray/Hemed?

Hughton presumably wants to keep that option of 4-4-2 at times and with no loans then he'll need sufficient back up for inevitable injuries/suspension.
Can't get away , even if He sticks to 4-4-1-1 , with fewer in squad than Baldock, Hemed, Murray and A.Nother.
He'll use Brown as cover for Gross, Baldock and As a winger. And can Propper fill in for that #10 role ? As well as alongside DS ?

He has, as they say, plenty of options.

Can play DM, CM, AM - very skillful and versatile MF

 

[T soprano]

Squads will be cut down to 25 soon and we'll know who'll be available
Wenger was saying yesterday players will be on the move as squad to big, the same at most clubs
Expect a busy deadline day for our next sigining

 

[Stat Brother]

I reckon that's a winger to replace skalak.

I can't believe it's my turn again, anyway here goes:-

'why don't we concentrate on filling the 25 places, before offloading someone else'.

 

[Stat Brother]

Maybe the plan is to fill the side with attacking midfielders and be less reliant on strikers.

Which is a genius insurance policy. I have been critical of how the club struggles to complete transfers, but the actual business they've done so far is immense.

Certainly a cheaper one - How many years is it before an 'inflated market' becomes just 'the market'?



Anyhoo thanks to the positivity of Youtube highlight reels, I'm all in on Propper.

What has occurred to me is that Jamie Murphy is DP's ideal back up man (snigger).

The Albion's default setting has been to push the ball out wide to the wingers.
Murphy's default setting is to cut inside.
Jamie has always had to do that with the ball.

Now he won't have to make his move with the ball, as clearly Davy's stock pass is a diagonal forward ball to the corner of the penalty area.

Worst case scenario would be a free kick on the edge of the box, and who's now not excited by that!

 

[New Seagull]

Talk sport yesterday, when reporting the Davy propper signing, said we were also about to bid £12 million for Chris Wood.
Can't see Leeds selling for that price & personally I don't think he will be the answer to all of our striker wishes!!

Unless it is £12m plus Hemed?

This.

I know the knives are out in force today for Skalak, but let's fill the 3 remaining places in the 25 before grabbing the pitchforks for Jiri, Tomer etc.

 

[Megazone]

I highly doubt Bloom and Hughton would be foolish enough to splash 12m on Chris Wood. I'm sure we've learnt our lesson last time we broke a transfer record on a top goal scorer from a division we just got promoted from.

I don't get all the hate for Hemed. Wood is shit. That Leeds side last year created so many chances and I know Wood scored a lot but for each one he scored he he sent five over the bar, shinned a couple out for throws or just fell over the ball. Not fit to clean Hemed's boots IMHO.

If you were at the game Sunday, you'd know exactly why Hemed isn't the answer. Wood was the only striker I saw last season who Dunk struggled to contain. That is why he is worth over £12 million.
