Once fam became available we never saw that combination again. Perhaps the answer is already on out doorstep? Those early games of last season had both Pato behind him as he played on his own, OR Taylor as more of a partner. 9 minutes ago, Monkeh said: no they would reignite their partnership that worked so well It didn’t work “so well” though, it was decent enough. Our best form and football style was achieved with Reid and Pato in a 460/4420 where they buzzed around. It was pretty unsuccessful upon Diedhiou’s return from injury.

He's had a taste of the Premier now. If he cant go back, he may find it more appealing to to a club who are one of the favourites to go up. Agreed. If that's true and Fulham match/exceed what we offer - he's going to go there in my opinion. They're a step up from us at the moment, London might be appealing to him too and Joe Bryan is there who he came through the academy with. Let's hope it's not true!

You’d think he wouldn’t get much a look in at Fulham with their forward options. But he’d be back with his fwend and they’ll probably pay more than us so that’s what really matters.

You can see why they would like their money back then. Hardly the 20+goals we need. I know it’s a different level but there are better out there. Get Tammy back, Britt..... go abroad. I don’t know, I’m tired, I’ve had a crap day, I’m grumpy tonight. Who knows, I may wake up feeling differently about it all. I do love Bobby honest. He played mainly in midfield for them though!

jellyred Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I don't see why he would want to come back anyway, wasn't he refusing a contract extension and there were a few rumours that him and Bryan weren't happy with LJ or something?

I’m not saying it was a shit partnership, but it wasn’t brilliant either, especially once Fam came back from injury.

Berkshire Red Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 People saying he was a one season hit, he scored an average of just over 1 in 3 in the premier league last season (5 goals in 1422 mins of football) and also got a further 2 assists in this playing time which isn't bad at all playing for a team who struggled badly in the division last season. Is exactly what we need and is proven to work well in LJ formation! Further to this, he is certainly more proven than he who must not be named from arsenal! A front 2 of Reid and Semenyo, with Eliasson, Palmer and Weimann behind could be deadly if the tactics can be sorted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hours haven't really gone by yet, though. The Nketiah situation happened quite late yesterday and it is still early today. Panic and frustration is perfectly acceptable if there is nothing starting to emerge from about 2pm onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as Arsenal started wavering on whether to sell, we had no choice but to move NKetiah down the priority list. We should have signed someone else and use this as a late second option.
