INCRED Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 8 hours ago, brad blit said: Muriqi to Lazio deal done (fenerbache striker - 20mil), Fammy was widely rumoured to be no1 choice replacement if he left. See what happens next week Judging by his performances in the last two games he isn’t 100% on his game He will be gone in this window as will Eliasson and we will get about £10m in to get a forward in on loan or perm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 BBC transfer gossip page is reporting Leeds, Wolves & Arsenal are after Dijon striker Mounir Chouiar. I have no idea who that is, but if it is true that would explain where they are expecting to get the money to bid for Famara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman_Stand Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'm surprised him and Eliasson were involved yesterday with their ongoing contract situations, the risk to us is probably greater than it is to the individual players. If either of them get a nasty injury i.e out for 4 to 5 months we would be unable to sell them in this window whilst their value is still reasonable and left with a player that can sign a pre contract agreement in January to move for nothing next summer....can't imagine Ashton and the Lansdowns would be overly impressed with Holden in this scenario We really need to set them both a deadline of say next weekend to make a decision and if they haven't signed then we actively circulate their names ASAP.

Bobbie Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 His best quality is defending corners. As a striker that says a lot. Don’t think loosing him would be the end of the world but I do worry about relying on Martin too much as he has had his fitness issues. Think we’d need a replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 If Fam goes should we go back for Afobe? I think Stoke will make him available with Michael O'Neil clearly stating his squads too big. Or should we look elsewhere or even stick with what we've got utilising Weimann as a forward again.

If Fam goes I’d rather replace him with a mobile pacy forward. Maybe we should have another look at Ligue 2 again or aim to bring someone in on loan from the Prem.

AshtonRobin21 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Just posted on another topic, I would look at bringing in a quick striker as a Fam replacement. - Macauley Bonne (Charlton £1.5m) - Connor Chaplin (Barnsley £3m) - Lucas João (Reading £6m) I believe any of these 3 could offer us something we currently don't have. A player who has the pace to beat defenders when in possession of the ball, or look to run off the last man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
