DT The Optimist Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Two issues. Would you see FD staying and being supported by another striker or will he be moved on if the club can recoup fee ? Seymeno was recalled ( on SL instructions or not) and he is going to be one hell of a player. A full pre season with us . Remember all those pundits drooling over him and stories, fake news or not, that he was a Chelsea bound. I can see FD, AS, and AW plus an incoming as our strike force in 2019 The dice may be rolled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But did Kodjia and big Dave not ply their trade there? not the worst strikers weve ever seen and certainly not £15m for some overrated ones here! SL just isnt going to pay that imo.

What we have needs a good shake up, from the top down, we don’t offer enough of a threat to frighten defenders - personnel and tactics lacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol is red Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 How about Mario Engels? Plays for Roda FC (Dutch second division) just scored 24 for the season, can play on the wing or center forward. Pacey, decent finish on him, has a trick or two. Wouldn't cost alot either.

glen humphries Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 2 hours ago, Major Isewater said: The story goes that Gray was coming to us but we tried to renegotiate the deal after Cotts went on holiday and Brentford told us to do one . Gayle had better options than a newly promoted third division club with half a ground . In any case they weren’t approached this season to my , limited, knowledge. They didn’t turn us down as such and now we are in a much better position to attract players of their quality. Gregor Greg McGregor believes that we will go back in for Oompaloompah of Boro. That’s true about grey, we also ****** up the harry maguire transfer by trying to be clever after a deal was agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligue 1 has a few top clubs but generally it’s not even as good as the Championship. The other consideration is the language and also culture barriers . I wouldn’t dismiss bringing in players from France as the level of coaching is good from school level upwards but the game is less physical than here .

Adams had a 13 million bid turned down in January and Spurs pulled out last minute on Bowen......assombolanga is no longer seen in the same breath as these guys amongst clubs. Poch said that was nonsense when asked in a press conference during Jan. Why the hell in would a club in the last 4 of the league and Champions League want Hull's striker?!!! I'd test Hull out with a 10 million pound bid. Same price Cardiff paid for Reid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally played 4 games for us. 4, I think only one was a start. None of that is reason to write off signing another Scandinavian. I’m not even sure how that even applied to the two players I suggested since neither actually play in Scandinavia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Mobile footballers, that move constantly...creating space and can read a game. And who are natural goal scorers...who strike a ball cleanly. Not big lumps to be aimed at. I look at our Defenders and wing backs...the way our midfield play...and then look at our forward line. It's like oil and water. Our movement up front should be like how Liverpool and Spurs play, with mobility and movement. It's not...our front line lacks movement. And when it does, with the like of Weimann...our midfield are too slow to see it. Our defence and midfield compliment one another...our front line is like that from a different team.

Liverpool may not be great comparison. The front line have a work rate that is murderous compared to Bristol City. Not only are they great footballers they are also physical machines with exceptionally high aerobic and anerobic capacities. The movement of Norwich's players is more of a parallel. Pukki runs channels. Players in behind (Stipermann) go east to west and play in half spaces. That movement was purchased cheaply targetted to fit a clearly defined style of football. Bristol City have spent more on numerous clubs in the bag .. And yes the front line is like a different team because it was purchased that way.

Palmer Eliasson Weimann as a fluid front 3. Pack-Brownhill and one of Smith or Walsh depending on opposition. Eliasson will pull wider, Weimann can float along the front and behind it a bit and Palmer can really commit players. Weimann has the great early runs, Eliasson can run at their full backs. I think it'd be interesting to see. @Cowshed On the Norwich comparison, always had Pukki down as similar to Reid of 17/18- fairish or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe influential Subs when players are tired. Eliasson is way too weak still to play as a starter. Palmer is a flair player that isn't consistent enough. We need an upgrade on both, or for them to up their understanding considerably imo. Both squad players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was four years ago to be fair, but I wouldn’t say no to either of those, at this level they are very dangerous, not sure Gray is good enough to be a prem striker really, but would be fine in the championship ...... but we wouldn’t pay either of them the dosh they are probably on so it’s irrelevant really ...
