Summer 2017 Window Thread

There's got to be two lined up if he $#@!s off because it just leaves Dicko.

I think we're forgetting that we have the Duck

Also could mean Ennis is now viewed as proper first teamer, and perhaps yesterday was evidence that Nuno sees Bright as a #9.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Nah. Definitely a high profile striker going to be coming in thats for sure.

Tongue in cheek.

Tongue in cheek.

Oliveira from Norwich could be joining us. Good striker.

 

[Alan]

Bit of lump, I thought?

 

[The Bear]

He's decent enough at this level. And a Mendes client.

Personally I'd want better.

 

[Alan]

Moussa Marega is the one to watch for.

 

[Tony Towner]

Oliveira is supposed to be going to Reading, but if they are signing Bod then maybe it's us instead. Not for me, would be a disappointing Mendes signing. Also not the man to play the central role in a 343

 

[Boozad]

Even if we do sign Oliveira I doubt he'll be the only striker coming in.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Oliveira wouldn't have been my first choice - or my 4th or 5th. He's always struck me as a bit moody/petulant. But 20 goals in 56 games over last two seasons is fair enough - certainly better than Bod. Assombalonga has 30 in 65 for Forest so better, but I don't think Oliveira took penalties as much as BA did

 

[AndyWolves]

I don't know much about oliveira but the stats alone suggest he's an upgrade on JDB.

JDB is a different type of forward to what we need.

 

[SLB]

Ahhh... Oliveira...the eternal promise. There was never a guy from the academy as hyped as him. Could have been a star but he lacks commitment to pro football.

True. We need a forward who scores. Which is a shame as I like Bod as an all round player

Sounds like he'd have got on well with some of our players from the last Premiership squad.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Oliveira fills me with meh.

15 goals in 27 last year is impressive but it also means he missed a third of the season through poor form/injuries.

His previous seasonal high is 9, at Forest.

I'd rather spend an extra couple of million on something better tbh.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Bodvarsson on the verge of joining Reading according to Spiers.

We are getting rid of the deadwood far easier then I expected. Must be some offering some lucrative sweetners to move along.

 

[Jack Regan]

Oliveira scored a lot prior to Christmas if I recall correctly, think he then got injured. Norwich were a bit of a mess last season at times but did score a lot of goals. I'm surprised its taken this long for us to be interested or reported to be, what with the obvious connections and all that.

 

[Lupo]

EEL to MKD on a season long loan

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Turning out to be one of the great contract extensions. Give someone who has never looked good enough a three and a half year deal when they aren't even close to being out of contract. Then have them out on loan for two years at a level we never want to play at again.

He can make up for that by relegating them.

 

[pr0sl0]

Decent signing for them, but that's definitely his level. Telling that he couldn't find a place at a lower Championship team, or that Sheffield United didn't want to take him back.
