Icardi is available I think. Honestly we should go for him. That's the statement signing I'd like.

Fantastic scoring record and we could afford him. Just about fits with the policy of signing younger players too.

You know it makes sense  8)

He's a bad 'un that Icardi, he'd lead a player's revolt on the quality of totty in Brum.

I wouldn't be too worried about a players height. It didn't stop Kevin Phillips scoring lots of goals and winning a golden boot at the top level, often in struggling sides.

Then why are you concerned about his height?

Exactly
Quote from: Monty on July 14, 2019, 01:05:50 PM
Highly suspect that one or two of the new centre backs are considered cover or options for defensive midfield. Important to keep Chester on for his experience I think.

I think you are right. DS knows how important the DM role is and also that Konsa played a few games for Brentford as DM. So clever tactical acquisitions ……...

I have a little concern about Maupays height but no one bats an eye lid comparing him to Owen and Aguero. Alrighty then! 😂

Like I said, if we’re in for him then he’ll need the right kind of supply as he can’t be expected to be winning too many balls in the air or holding the ball up against much more physical and taller defenders.

If Burnley are holding out for more dough for Heaton, I wonder if we'll bring another surprise signing out of the hat, it's obviously a position we're looking to strengthen and we may add someone we've never heard of.
