Phileas Fogg Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 He definitely fulfills the 'proven 9' statement Ashton made. Reid isn't that type of player. I wouldn't be that surprised if we did try and get both. Austin could've been the primary forward target.. then an opportunity for Reid came up and it was too good for us to miss. If we did somehow pull it off, we'd have a top 6 forward line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeCiderRed Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I would rather have Shane Long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkateee Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm won over now by us going to try and get Bobby Reid. Charlie Austin would be massive for us, but i just don't see it due to his very high wage demands. I'd rather get a centre half for cover for Moore,and stick with Reid.

TheCulturalBomb Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Where the hell has this come from? Although I think a fit Charlie Austin is a player that can get us top 6, surely his wages have to be beyond us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton_fan Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 To be honest I'd rather give Semenyo his chance than waste money on a panic-buy like Austin, another Lee Tomlin type. With the midfield we have now they should be creating loads of chances for the strikers so we should get a few goals with anyone half-decent up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 5 minutes ago, DSTAF said: What a depressing search for a striker. It seems that we were overconfident on signing Nketiah and didn’t figure on being gazumped by Dirty Leeds and whilst I accept that it’s difficult to land top strikers we now do rather seem to be left in the lurch , scrambling about for a player like a terrier chasing starlings on the lawn. I hoped that we would have been a bit firmer on getting the ‘ No 9 ‘ through the door earlier on , it being our avowed priority. Ashton and the recruitment team have done a fantastic job this window , we have been recruiting as if we were a Prem club . A striker would be the icing on the cherry but , oddly , failure to land one would be a disappointment. How wonderful football is , at the start of the transfer window all we needed for a top six place was a 20 goal a season striker now we won’t recognize half the team on Saturday if the new guys start .

Haven't seen any sources talking about that one. I think it'll either be Reid or someone from abroad at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
