Marina's Rolls Royce Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 On the basis that I would love to see how far Burns and Reid can get in this squad and we have a seemingly solid looking defence ( yes- untested so far) combined with the fact that loans aren't ideal- I'd just like to see one new player. A striker of the quality SC was trying to bring in before the window closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyed Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 For me, a striker who can actually put away the many chances created is essential - easy to say, not so easy to get, as we know. If we can get one in, then we'll be more than ok.I am not so sure a striker is needed. The issue I have seen is that Wilbs/Kodjia have had to come a lot deeper to pick up the ball, and therefore had a lot more work to do to get the ball in the net.We have missed the link from midfield to attack that Freeman normally provides - I think with him back we will score more of the chances. Depth in midfield is what I think us missing - we have no options if Pack/Smith are tiring or having a bad game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Badger Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 We need some physical presence in midfield - like a Marv in his first season in the Championship... someone who can get from box to box.Delighted that Freeman is back too.

Buckeyed Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Adebayor is available.. would any of you have him (massive wages and liklihood of him wanting to come to us aside)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Adebayor is available.. would any of you have him (massive wages and liklihood of him wanting to come to us aside)?Yes. Who wouldnt want a international striker who is a proven goalscorer in the top level.No offence but in the words of SOD "stupid question", flaps arms.

Buckeyed Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yes. Who wouldnt want a international striker who is a proven goalscorer in the top level.No offence but in the words of SOD "stupid question", flaps arms.During the summer, when Joey Barton was being rumoured there was a huge split due to attitude problems/past problems etc.. would there not be the same arguments against Adebayor? Lazy, disruptive, unpredictable are all words associated to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeyed Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Joey Barton is in the championship again. Adebayor wouldn't drop out of the Prem. Totally different quality of players. He cannot play in either the Premier League or Europa League until January at the earliest - If he wants to play football he doesn't have much choice.. I could see him going to a club like Hull or QPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citywest30 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Liam Bridcutt or Pritchard (if available) for midfield for me and either James Wilson or Gayle on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him going to a club like Hull or QPRNo championship club can afford his wages. He will stay at Spurs and play reserve if he has too. He rejected Villa cause God told him too. If God is now saying go to Hull I'm sure he will be questioning his religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeyed Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Liam Bridcutt or Pritchard (if available) for midfield for me and either James Wilson or Gayle on loan. Is Pritchard not an attacking midfielder? We have plenty of those (Freeman, Robinson, Reid).By the sounds of the Cotterill interview, Gayle was quite disrepesctful, so I think any bridges are burned there.

citywest30 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah you may be right about Gayle but he's the sort of striker I think we need. Thought Pritchard was attacking but a bit more box to box than we have. Stand to be corrected tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Does n't sound like anything's going to happen soon for us in the loan market after Cott's interview on Player . Could just be the proverbial ' smoke and mirrors ' but i think he is genuinely ok with what we have.The youngsters Burns and Reid have given him food for thought .I'm actually happy with the current situation.

Each player's wage takes up a large part of our permitted budget so we need guys who are fit and ready. Not , unfortunately, quality players who have injury problems, let the Wolves , Derby's of this world take the gamble we can't at the moment .
