I would prefer we determine our footballing approach, because it has changed so often over the last 4 years. Yeah agree. That's how I'd do it. Or at least stick with a main style and formation and just maybe occasionally change the formation if struggling. But I'd really like us to master plan A rather than have plan A, B, C and so on. It can work at times when LJ beats an opponent by changing systems to suit that one game. Both Sheff Utd games for example. But the only time we go on great runs is when LJ keeps it the more or less the same every game. It's hard to get momentum when changing things so much. But that is LJ's way.

Scored quite a few good quality goals from what I've found from browsing through . Not sure if he's worth 3 mil though he is only 26 Woodrow (my man Woodrow ) got more! 15 hours ago, billywedlock said: Seems like we are again undecided about how we will approach our play next season Yes, that was rumours do.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Doesn't really feel like a signing to progress us IMO. Certainly not in-keeping with the style which we are seemingly moving towards. The fact if paper talk to be believed it's us v Millwall is interesting- they're not quite known for a) Splashing cash and b) An expansive style.

One thing I do think is if we do sign another striker it won’t be as back up to Diedhiou. I think Diedhiou will be plan B so on that thinking I don’t believe it will be Moore we are signing.

Guest Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Matt Smith signed for Millwall. I know they might need another, but they might not want another big man. Wouldn't surprise me if we have beaten them to Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher is an interesting one. I think big target men sometimes develop a bit later than most. He is still only 23. Isn't he on massive wages though? Thought i heard he was on stupid money. Not sure if he's had quite a few injuries as well. But just going on his ability i'd take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to reduce his demands for regular football - supposedly has recognised he needs to step back into Champ to kick-start his career. Very good in the air, decent enough touch. Not saying he’s a better footballer than Diedhiou, but I could see him getting on the end of Eliasson’s crosses more often than Fam. Point to prove.

ProfitInMyPocket Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I'm worried he might be our only striker target as I think we need something a bit more up the top of the pitch. Hes been linked every window almost so could see us getting this one over the line and then into the season with Fam, Weimann, Taylor, Semenyo and Moore as our striker options.

With Eliasson's balls I actually think it might be more about having someone who is very quick off the mark, as Fam just cant quite make those balls across the face of goal. Nketiah maybe. I do like Gallagher. Just depends really whether we need 2 Diedhiou types. I personally don't want 2 of them. But LJ does like a big guy up front. So if that's what he's after, Gallagher will be near the top of the list I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Island Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 I really think this will be our man lj loves a barnsley player reasonably priced around 3 million tore us apart at oakwell last season maybe we could toss in marley as a make weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Looks like he has a bit more than Djuric and Matt Smith in his pace and technique. This is just an example of this.

If Diedhiou goes he’d be a decent replacment. Could possibly play together but neither a natural goal scorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, believed to be on £40k at Saints, so fair play to anyone willing to take £12-15k, especially when they’re giving up £2-2.5m over the final 2 years of their contract. I would rather take Gallagher over a Moore, but finances will play a part in the overall equation....assuming we are even in for either of them.

BCFC11 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 No doubt he’d be a great option to have if we are chasing games and having to go abit more direct late on or when up against a more physical side, but at £3m and not much guarantee of games where if he stays at Barnsley he’d be playing most weeks, I just cant see this happening?

Redrascal2 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Isn't Moore a better version of Diedhou with more ability in front of goal. If that is the case surely he would get more games than you are suggesting. And it would be the Diedhou who would not get many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But imagine how good Diedhiou would look at that level. I can us bringing him in and having one or the other starting. Good competition for places. If Johnson wants to play specifically with a target man then we need one to be competing with Diedhiou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 I'm not so sure about Moore- could be a cheaper Plan B if Diedhiou was sold but not sure he's what we need stylistically etc at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misses lots of chances according to them. Though I think we are underestimating Moore. The way they talk about him is he is a 6’5 Bobby Reid. Not the dropping deep version but can play on the shoulder as well as be a target man. Presses the back line ferociously and quickly. Still feel he’d be a Diedhiou replacement rather than a “Plan B.” Someone to come in if Fam moves on along. Don’t think he is better than Fam but think close enough where we’d take double profit for Fam and replace him for half that profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
