Notwithstanding what I wrote above, Hogan has the best movement I've seen.at this level. He would’ve suited the way we played last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcredandwhite Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Smith and Taylor back from their injuries would be like new signings imho. If we DO dip into the market then I think it’ll be for a midfielder rather than a striker - just my opinion - no science behind it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Like to see us give Eisa some game time to show what he can do before we panic buy someone else... the lad is a natural finisher from what I have seen, which is what we are missing. Give Eisa a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking player when he was at Brentford though. Injury has blighted him so would also be a bit of a gamble But , he’s one of those , if you get the call right I sense we could get at a reasonable price (No obvious future at Villa & injury record) and if we could get him playing and rolling again could look a v good buy Would be a gamble though but one that could take us upwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your budget is big enough you can get anyone, ours isn't. I also don't want to see another for the future, I'd rather either get a loan which is still difficult , or not bother. If there was a loanee out there pulling up trees in L1 maybe look at them , but you are expecting a young(ish) kid to come in and improve the side, big ask. I really think to upgrade we would have to offload Taylor, maybe another (Baker?) but even then to sign someone who would make an instant improvement would still probably be beyond our budget. We may both be wrong. SL may see a promotion challenge there for the making and the scouting team may have a target already, stranger things have happened. Probably not though. With Walsh and Smith still a way off , a midfielder would be handy. But again with out budget, and the fact we actually have Pack, Brownhill , Smith and Walsh, plus a couple of promising young players on the periphery I can't see the purse string being loosened enough to make it worth while. I just think we are stuck with what we have for now, maybe a loan? But even that , with our recent record they may have second thoughts. As for Eisa, at 5-0 up at halftime LJ will rest Fam after getting his hat trick and Eisa will get 45 on Boxing Day Don't be daft. We won't score 50 goals!

I would love Dowell in Jan. In my opinion this would be the most exciting signing we’ve had in years. Young, creative, goalscoring player who’s shown he can cut the mustard at this level.

Depends if he is keen to play, or is happy on his wages. Villa might be keen to off load as their finances must still be a bit of a mess FFP wise. Maybe a loan with agreed fee , then we have a chance to look at him. Injuries would effect the fee too. As I said might be unlikely but circumstances might work in our favour. I still think there is more chance of a loan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good mate of mine works for Everton and says he never hears any transfer rumours until they’re a done deal. He’s heard nothing about Dowell going to Sheff Utd, and says he’s as a good a bloke as he is a player so no Ryan Kent-style big-time Charlie syndrome. If he’s available we should be in for him. The thought of him in behind Diedhiou with Eliasson and O’Dowda either side would give us half a sniff of the play-offs IMO, although whether LJ can see that given his blind loyalty to Pato I very much doubt.
