brad blit Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Not a dig at the club for aiming high but perhaps we need to lower the player expectation abit lower this time, but what other realistic players could we look at? I see various people have suggested lower league players like Bradshaw, but wev seen how difficult the league is now and the quality needed to win games - so would players from League 1 (who are no different or better to what we already have) fare any better? I want us to improve the team yes, and in hindsight im sure Cott/Burt would have preferred to do it earlier, but I still want us to only getting players in that will improve the team and stay with the formation we have grown accustomed to, so I don't want any 'filler' players and if we have to wait until January for purchases and loan players when that window opens then so be it.

sodburyred Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 We clearly have a type of strike we are after and Bradshaw isn't that sort. Wonder if any prem reserves would be in the right mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Wells or Mason would be ones I wouldn't mind seeing us go after depending on price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redman91bcfc Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I agree with Wells, although it seems we are aiming for players who would be able to do a job in the PL...if we get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 There's plenty of nippy strikers in the prem similar to Grey/Gayle who could be potential loans (Solanke?) question would be whether they could take to Championship football in the same way we obviously think AG/DG could have. Bradshaw is probably worth the gamble but he doesn't fit that mould. Nakhi Wells is a good suggestion, bet Huddersfield would charge us lots though.

brad blit Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Its interesting because neither Gray or Gayle were 'target men' (although Gray does hold the ball up well) but they were both good finishers and quick - I don't think they are looking for a Wilb type target man, but certainly someone to replace him and partner Kodjia. That said im sure Wilbs will be important for some games and still play 10-15 especially away from home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 The way it's going, and with time not on our side, I can see us having to pay to get some decent loan players in. If I remember rightly we asked to take that lad (Ryan Bertrand) from Chelsea on loan once but were quoted half a million I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Wells is the obvious one that doings to mind. Other than that there don't seem to be that many about, which is why they can command such big fees. There must be others...?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham Romanovich Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Jermain Defoe? Now you are just being silly - quite pleased in a way Gray has rejected us must be better value out there.

redlandrebel Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 ... before we invest in a striker - we need an experienced midfielder; a Paul Hartley / Wade Elliot figure. The very obviously missing link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 2 weeks of chasing shadows, lessons learnt? As said priority should be midfield / defence. Might score a shed load if you pay millions for a forward but whats the point if you let in more. Good midfield, good defence concede less, then you might get a big signing if the team looks steady.

Look at Albert and Bolasie not names as such when we signed them - a lot of very decent players are playing in the lower leagues . According to google his salary is 3m a year.

Olé Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hassan "Koka" - amongst the top scorers in Portugal last season playing for a small club, only 22, scored for Egypt Under-20's against England. Out and out goalscorer, technique and positioning. Probably available cheapish as Rio Ave is a small club and doesn't really command big fees. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Hassan_Mahgoub https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=hassan+rio+ave&tbm=vid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
