Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

With Hogan gone on loan to Stoke, we only have 3 strikers left? Any injuries to them and we're fucked up front!

If we’d had to start with Hogan up front we were fucked anyway.

Fucking chill out dude, that heart’s gotta last a lifetime.

Well, by his age Christiano Ronaldo had scored 11 goals in 73 appearances.  Should have binned him off really.

He’s just a kid, he’s developing.  How good was Grealish at 20 in the Prem?  You have to give them time.

The majority of strikers are not prolific at his age and with his experience.

Christiano Ronaldo was a winger in his younger days and more interested in showing off a fancy step over too many. It was his second season at United when he really started scoring goals and was then often played in a free role or up front.

I reckon we’ll bring someone in.

Lol, and this makes my point that you can’t judge someone’s entire ability based on the results of their first few years invalid how?

Smith only plays with one striker really and two wide players.

Hence three strikers is arguably one too many.

There was no chance of Hogan making the grade, little chance of Kodjia either and Davis is very raw still.

Am I the only one not fussed whether benrahma comes in or not?

We are all covered in the wide positions so I’d much rather have a proven striker come in.

I’d definitely take a proven out and out goal scorer over Benrahma...it’s the final piece of the jigsaw. Can we bring Withe out of retirement?

The problem is though gents, we play with one central striker and 2 wingers, one each side. We currently have 3 players who's best position is central, Wes, Kodjia and Davis. We currently have 2 out and out wingers in El Ghazi and Trez for 2 positions although granted Jota and Kodjia at a push could play there, so we are more in need of another natural pacey winger than another central striker. If we get a lot of success playing the 2 quick players and 1 gets injured who is going to replace like for like? You can argue that the quality of back up for Wes is iffy so maybe another striker would be good with Davis loaned out but if I could pick 1 more to come in it would be Benrahma all day.
If we sign a 'proven goal scoring central striker' where is he going to play? We could do with a player like that to come off the bench but keeping a player like that happy would be a challenge.
I hope we get the 2 but cover wise the winger is far more urgent IMO.

I’d forgotten what a solid gold throbber Danny Mills is, on Sky Sports Transfer Jizz Off right now.

Bastard. I thought it said Patrick, was just about to google him.

[KRS]

Looks like Lukaku has agitated his move away from Man Utd so I’d imagine they’ll be in the market for a striker too tomorrow.

Oh well...less than 24 hours to go of the Sky transfer wankfest, and we’ll just have to keep our shit together and see if we sign or release any more players.

Ben Schwarmer of Young Boys is on our radar allegedly.
