Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[RamboandBruno]

Savo was a perfectly decent stiker for us. 10-12 goals a season and a 1 in 3 ratio. He was a great foil for the more prolific Yorke too, and set up quite a few. That's what we need to get to, having a main striker getting closer to 20 goals, and a support striker getting 10-12. Our problem now is that our main striker in Watkins has those support striker sort of stats.

This is a very good point

No argument about his overall return, but when he missed it was a threat to aircraft landing at Elmdon.

Savo got an unfair reputation. I think it’s also forgotten he was young guy away from home, where home was somewhat geopolitically unstable at the time.

[Clark W Griswold]

He was a good player despite the fact that the Wolves and Albion lot thought he was hilariously bad. But then again you wouldn’t expect them to notice some of his subtle ‘continental’ qualities, when they were used to the silky skills of Steve Bull and Lee Hughes.
Saying that though, Yorke and Savo as gifted as they were did lack a certain directness and pace and we needed a third option along those lines to progress. So we signed Stan Collymore and then it all went tits up.

He missed a bucket load of chances when he first joined and picked up the comedy reputation.  But once he'd settled in he bacame a very accompished player.  Even when not scoring he was a very important player for us and we looked much better when he was in the team.

Agreed, I also seem to recall the Sunday Mirror running a "Missalotevic" headline on the morning of the league Cup Final '96.

Still early but I’d hoped we would have followed up the statement signings of Kamara and Carlos with one or two others. We can’t be brining players into the club in August if we want to really hit the start of the season being better prepared than last year.

We'll be in a right pickle if we delay.

The Jawdees will be happy with their oil money though.

Think the problem with Savo was that we were all expecting him to be a prolific goalscorer, which he never was (at least not for us). His control, hold up play and passing could be sublime at times.

Is this the transfer thread or a reminisce of all our yesterdays

[eamonn]

Isn't that just life after a certain point?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

A few rumours linking us to this fella..Ibrahim Sangaré of PSV. £30m buy out clause. Maybe we could throw in El Ghazi if their coach, Ruddy Horseface wants him.

Shouldn't be a problem, only Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle also reportedly interested in him.
