SaintRam Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just now, Srg said: Bennett just keeps getting injured, even when he goes on loan. Got to feel he needs to start making strides at some point this year or he's in danger of washing out soon. Absolutely. I've believed for some time that Vernam/Zanzala are held in higher regard currently (in terms of their potential) than Bennett. But he has a lot more time, potentially, now the age group has been upped to get his progress back on track. I do think he suffers from getting opportunities with the first team early regarding his perception outside of the club, maybe that also effects him now in terms of confidence. Regretting not fully taking that chance or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I am not keen on loans unless they are with a realistic signing potential also they cost a lot from teams in the prem nowadays who tend to want something like a must play clause in 80% of games type of thing. Now I can't say that was the case with Tom Carroll but he never justified a place in the side in my view and made us worse at the time. wilson could prove to be very decent, but I have always liked vydra from Watford and yes I know he did very poorly last year at reading but he has had two very good years at championship level with Watford and maybe a better signing than a done it once type of forward like kodoja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies. I mean he is nowhere near good enough now. He may well be. But at the minute he isnt quite there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we get Wilson we would still need 1 more. In my eyes we would only have 2 strikers who were any good. I dont know if there is any way to get Bent out before the window shuts. But of there is we need to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 45 minutes ago, Nuwtfly said: Agree! we need to bring in someone with the quality of Wells/Assombalonga though. Not Wilson. He was very patchy overall for Brighton, thus why they've not taken him back. You can't be sure that's the reason they've not taken him back. Could be a number of factors, the most likely being that they've got Murray who, if he keeps clear of serious injury, will get plenty of goals in this division.

DazzaRam Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 We reverted back to 1 upfront on Tuesday night. But that was more to do with the Midfield not being able to play in a 2. More pressing is to get midfield sorted cos at the minute I don't think we can play 2 strikers with Hendrick & Thorne being injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaleRam Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 If i remember right Offrande Zanzala will be missing for several months after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury during Derby Under 23s’ 1-0 pre-season win over Norwich City. From Wassall: “Offrande has a six to nine-month rehabilitation ahead of him after injuring his cruciate in his knee." http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/wassall-this-is-going-to-be-an-exciting-season-for-the-u23s-3244615.aspx#j5kfCesuogcLRUth.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 A Wilson / Assombalonga finisher and a Castaignos / forestieri type flash creator and finisher is what I think Pearson must be after up front - 2 forwards but ones with different styles. It would replicate a mahrez/vardy type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So although you really dislike Martin for some reason, he could replicate that here by bringing in someone like Wilson to play alongside him.

thekingofbuxton Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Ulloa would be a class signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsputen Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 think we could do with 2 strikers 1 bought 1 trial loan so maybe wilson an wells could be great additions to a currently very poor finishing side but will prob just end up with wilson on loan an conor sammon back.

Papahet Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Quantity > Quality again it seems 5 goals for a striker in a top six side is hardly impressive, wasn't he on the bench for the tail end of last season too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
