DCFC1388 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 There are a few free agents that are capable of doing the job we need from our striker. Im not including Daniel Sturridge as im mot sure he is capable to play the role we need imo. Possible options - Fabio Borini Oumar Niasse Rudy Gestede Adama Diomande Yaya Sanogo Diafra Sakho Collin Quaner Idrissa Sylla Omar Bogle All with experience of playing in England already and 30 or younger so may be worth a gamble for a season.

Edtheram Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I don’t know if anyone has posted about Charlie Austin but he has apparently told WBA he wants to stay and fight for his place. Got to find something from nowhere now, atleast we have a couple of weeks. These are the PL players I could see us moving for.... Kenan Davis - Aston Villa - been linked for a while Connor Wickham - Crystal Palace - would prefer Benteke....wouldn’t of minded Sorloth either. Seems to be injured Cenk Tosun - Everton - linked last year, think he may be injured Tyler Roberts - Leeds - Linked this window, arrival of Raphina & Rodrigo may make him a target again Andy Carroll - Newcastle - Not sure about availability or Wages but doesn’t start many games and is a target man Shane Long - Southampton - 33 now so possibly too old, not a “big” striker Liam Delap - Man City - sold by Derby to City for 1M, bags of quality but vastly inexperienced and not sure if target man mold Odion Ighalo - Man U - only seems to play Cup games. Very good player, very slim chance of happening Kenneth Zohore - WBA - Austin may want to stay but Zohore was linked with a move to Sheff Wed. Billy Sharp - Sheff U - due to Brewsters arrival he could be allowed to leave, not sure if he’s the presence we need though Free transfers: Daniel Sturridge - Very slim chance but is a good player. Injury prone. Danny Welbeck - Very slim chance again. Good player but wages and injury history would be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRammette Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Not sure where to ask this but, with the exception of Jooswiak, why do our signings always seem to need so much settling in time before we see them? Other teams seem to buy people ( as we used to) and then there's the excitement of them coming straight in. Martin at Bristol and the movers to Millwall are a case in point. I was excited re Billy signing - really thought this could great - but havent seen him since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are our signings thus far this season: Kamil Jozwiak Jordon Ibe Emmanuel Idem Mike te Wierik Nathan Byrne Matt Clarke David Marshall Bobby Duncan Isaac Hutchinson Marko Borkovic Olamide Ibrahim Only Duncan and Ibe have yet to play and I think that's because neither had been playing much football in the run up to their transfer so both needed time to get match fit / sharp. I'd guess the thinking is that they risk injury if chucked in too early. Keep the faith though as I'd expect them to ready within a week or two, so not too much longer to wait ?

If it turns out he's out of reach, Joe Pigott from Wimbledon could be a decent cheap option. Was highly rated at Charlton when he first started out, but had to drop down to non-league for regular game time. Always seems to appear fairly regularly on the vidiprinter for an average Dons team. Only 26, so just coming into his prime. I have followed Piggotts career a bit as he used to play for Maidstone United ...he is a good league 1 or 2 player but that is it I’m afraid ....Slimani would be amazing signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimani for the season would work if he is on 20k and we could get a wage percentage deal say 30% of his salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I've just seen a Twitter page say we have enquired about taking Tomori on loan. Now I know this isnt possible, but if it did happen and we managed to get Tomori back, I swear I would get a picture of Tomoris face with the words "you'll never beat Tomori" tattooed onto the right side of my wife's arse.

My sarcasm is obviously lost on you ? If you read my previous comments I was trying to make a joke of some of the previous insane suggestions. I see the latest is Ighalo and Andy Carroll to join Troy Deeney and Hudson-Odoi. The phrase with the words what and planet frequently come to mind....utterly ludicrous ???

Who wouldnt turn West Ham down? Horrible club, horrible fans, Cheats, they all talk fanny, they eat Jellied eels and the kids round there wear gold chains. I heard a rumour old Fik was a partial to a post-match donnar/shish from McTurks. Donnar shish or jellied eels? I think we know why he rejected them.
