Even Waggy can let the ball bounce in off him then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 We aren't realistically going to make the top 6 neither get relegated so can't see the point in getting someone in for half a season if thats going to be the limit of their involvement.

LeedsRam1999 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Bring in a goal scorer, a creative player with pace and centre back and this team won’t be far off the play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marriott - Unreliable fitness wise. Martin - 6 goals in his last 66 appearances in the last 2 years. He was starting to show some previous form but seems to have dropped down the pecking order again. Waghorn - This season he just hasn't been at the races. Rooney - I think Cocu has aspirations to play him further back. Anyone else is a square peg for a round hole. Sharp gets a big thumbs up from me. Some of those stats are a bit harsh - Marriott- totally agree - Martin - the appearance bit doesn’t convert to how many minutes he plays and what about the actual results we get in games that he plays or starts - Waghorn - still our leading scorer but we are better with him out wide on the right - Rooney- yep I agree with that - sharp - would still need the ball in the right places and probably a partner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Cocu still changes his plan every week. until he settles on a particular system I probably wouldn’t let him sign anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he wants to play with wingers but his only wingers are Lawrence & Jozefzoon? Wouldn't you buy him two more so he can settle on his particular system without having to play them douchebags?

G-Ram Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I think it makes sense. We dont have a proven goalscorer at this level. Rooney is a midfielder in this side he will get goals but wont be playing up top. Waghorn misses chances & is playing out right. That leaves marriott thats always injured & martin who is decent at bringing others into play but wont score loads We've struggled for goals & people are moaning about bringing in a goal scorer He isnt blocking youngsters paths Whittaker isn't ready yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Goals win games. Billy Sharp scores goals. If we sign Billy Sharp, I will be one very happy fan. Very very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do we ever learn. One thing clear for me, I don’t think it’s Cocu whose involved in the transfers policy. Just my thoughts that’s all. Do you really think Cocu would accept having no involvement in the Clubs' transfer policy? His reputation depends on the success of whichever club he's managing so for him not to influence the type of players being recruited just doesn't make sense.

AndyinLiverpool Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Waghorn’s basically rubbish and Martiott’s barely ever fit so a new forward is quite a good idea. I bet he can score one-on-ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 What must Cocu be thinking if this is true? Genuinely interested, would he be happy with our recruitment policy (whatever that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJFern94 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 With the way Cocu has been talking, I'd be thinking that a centre half is the position where it looks like the player is likely to sign in the coming week. Sharp might be the player that he keeps telling us is complicated and we have to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser_23 Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Anyone that doesn’t want this signing to happen is just clueless. He’s still banging goals and assists at this level, as proven last season. He’s scored in the prem as well. He got a team Promoted with his contributions, yet some Derby fans think that he’s “ past it” or “too old” and would rather stick with Waghorn who can’t score a 1v1, and Marriott who is obviously made of paper.
