Bar BS3 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 It can’t do any harm..! But it won’t improve our financial position, which is what actually gets players to sign, usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Who would you want? I can see a striker but how can we displace fammy, and are we going to get anyone better in reserve than what we have? I think KP was the missing link, I wouldn't expect us to do any more business, and I don't think we need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took that to mean as an alternative off the bench and vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoxton casual Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 LJ said on RB he wants another Djuric type loan. If Fammy gets injured, we will have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what we are likely to get to be honest; a young one is largely going to be height and no physical presence, if he has both parent club aren't loaning to be a reserve..., an older head is likely not going to want to come here as second fiddle, and I would advocate against bringing in someone to go ahead of Fammy in the pecking order for a lot of reasons. I think LJ has wishful thinking. It is such a shame we lost Djuric. He was a great, great player imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 I think it does to a certain extent but as others have said it`s money in most cases. The other factor I think is that we are seen as a stable club who don`t keep chopping and changing managers on the whim of an owner - you can be pretty certain that if you were signed by LJ he`ll be your boss for the foreseeable future.

He was but he was rarely fit...I guess we will see but this team with the right additions could go all the way and I don't just mean play offs.

Lois Diony, 5 in 20 for St Etienne for what it’s worth. Some decent backup for Fam would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan was a bully, one of his strengths, held possession better than most I have seen, but for him to score goals, he needs just one thing and one thing only.... quality crosses. With respect to Salterina, I bet they don't have wingers capable. I know it's easy to say a striker needs service but even someone like Carsten Janker would have looked double dog Shit in a lower league. He is the type where he cannot and will not create his own goals. That's his limitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought he was a decent striker, especially at this level. 4 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Can't think of many of those target man types that can do what Diedhiou does. Gallagher always looked a handful, even if he doesn't score many. Huge wages might be a problem but i guess they might feel it's worth the gamble. Anyone think of any others? 17 in 64 starts at Champ level. He’s got a decent all-round game for a big guy, but he’s never someone I’ve really fancied here. I’d take Gestede of the two.
