Title: Freebie
Post by: Flin5tone on August 20, 2019, 12:09:39 AM
Can't sleep tossing and turning since 23:00 thinking about the last match and how I think we've messed up in the transfer market not bringing in another striker could well come back to haunt us!  :'(

Why don't we take a punt on bringing in a freebie who has no club? Dan Sturridge? Or even see if Gabby is fit? Imagine him up top with Wesley?

I don't think Bella Emberg has a club at the minute. I would prefer her to Gabby.

OK, so that last bit was a joke but is there anyone out there we could bring in?  I think we're very light up top, as much as I like kodija and Keinan I just can't see them cutting it in this league, let's face it they barely did in the championship?

Llorente would be one i'd have looked at taking on a decent short contract but he'll probably end up in Italy. Sturridge is just too injury prone, only twice has he played more than 20 league games in a season, and you can't see that improving as he gets older.

The H and V Groundhog Day has resurfaced.  Adebayor is available for €495k (or try an offer).

Balotelli has gone to Brescia so we can rule him out.

The list all looks pretty crap tbh.

Just gotta hope we hang in there till we can sign someone, or that Wesley starts banging them in. I wouldn't be surprised if he does, he looked a lot more like it on Saturday than he did against Spurs.

I think we need somebody. Maybe Sturridge would be worth a punt on a short term contract until January. I am guessing he would work his arse off to try to get a longer deal.
Title: Re: Freebie
Post by: cdbearsfan on August 20, 2019, 10:06:46 AM
He would work his arse off for about twenty minutes of training before picking up his first injury.

Which would be an arse strain.

Have we got an option on getting RHM or the traffic cone back from Stoke?

The problem is, with Sturridge, "work his arse off" would probably happen in the literal sense - then he'd be injured (missing arse) for the rest of the season.

Nein danke.

Giles Barnes - 31 and no club. Remember him? Weren't we linked to him a lot under MON?

I think he has been injured since Gordon Brown was Prime Minister.

Think we'll live to regret not signing Maupay, but I can see why we opted to stick with Wesley, Keinan and Kodj.

I'm glad you can because I certainly can't!  Why do you think we did then?

I genuinely think if we did actually want him (Maupay) we would have got him - I cant for the life of me think why we didn't want him

I see the Brazilian Wilson is available on a free, I know Tom Hanks has been calling out for Wilson.

Sturridge on a short term contract, possible up to January, with a  small retainer and a larger amount if he pays and scores is a deal I would try to do, and I would be happy if that kind of deal happened

Shame in my opinion as I really think we need more up front than what we have, oh well hope I’m wrong

Llorente scored 2 goals in 36 games for Spurs, but on the upside he is called ‘el rey leon.’
