Summer 2017 Window Thread

I thought Dresden pretty unequivocally ruled out Heise leaving?

 

[YoungWolf]

They are trying to be difficult but if Heise wants to leave I imagine it will happen eventually..

 

[MARKakaJIM]

You'd hope so. Either that or Renato Sanchez and Douglas Costa.....

Too late on the latter, signed for Juve the other day I think.

 

[GoldFlagFlyingHigh]

We are fighting a lot of clubs for Gallagher on loan. That's the only new ish news I have.

 

[AndyWolves]

I think Fosun/Nuno have earned a little faith & trust after the rebuild they've done so far along with the way we've been playing pre-season (against champions league teams)

 

[YoungWolf]

Bolton have signed Adam Armstrong on loan. Did well in u20 world cup and is a talented player, I wouldn't have minded him,

Gallagher is decent though and I know we've been interested in him for a while. Think I'd still want another forward if he came in on loan. Greedy I know..

 

[Del Woppio]

I want better than gallagher. I want better than dicko.

 

[The Bear]

Being greedy too, I'd still like a more high profile signing up front. Someone with some pedigree who we can convince to join our "project".

Unfortunately my suggestion of Joselu from Stoke got lost amongst SLB's drivel the other day.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Armstrong is a bit L1 for my tastes. Lightweight as fuck too.

I don't think Joselu is that good to be honest. He scores a few goals but never been convinced and i reckon Gallagher would score more than him. Not that i'm sold on Gallagher either, good player but whether he would be suited to being the central 1 in a 3 i'm not sure.

 

[GoldFlagFlyingHigh]

It wouldn't be just Gallagher in. Two forwards, Gallagher can play off the right too while Costa is out. But like I say plenty want him, he and Southampton have to weigh up who'd be best for his development.

 

[slink]

I wouldn't have Gallagher anywhere near playing off the right, he's an out and out striker for me. You don't see many 6ft 4 lads playing off the right for a reason.

 

[Premier Quality]

He could be the new carl Cort?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Agreed.

The same argument was used with Bod, I think he'd have been awful on the right.

 

[Johnny75]

Not over enamoured with Gallagher. As Del says I'd want better than him and better than Dicko and Dicko looks a beast. I think our youth players will be more than adequate as third and 4th choices.

 

[slink]

Agreed.

Yeah i just don't see it. Look at the qualities Costa, Cav, have and Gallagher/Bod do not have those qualities. We've got others that would be able to play that role like Bright, Graham etc..

 

[b3h]

Some big lads can do it. Arny for example. It's rare though

 

[slink]

But if you look at Arny his main qualities are his technique and the control of the football. He's not like a typical big man and as you say that's really rare.

 

[leedswolf]

Deano And Seyi's Lovechild.

Like it.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

No way we'd have let Bod go if there wasn't an imminent arrival.

You wouldn't revamp all the keepers, the entire defence, spend a record fee on a central midfielder and then decide "nah, we don't need a striker even though none of our current lot managed more than 5 goals last season".

If we don't sign a forward then you have my permission to change my username to Deano And Seyi's Lovechild.

I am not doubting you Dan, I just cannot understand the delay in bringing in a striker, unless we are going to make a loan signing. But given our finances, why should we rely on loaning players. It just seems strange that we are a few weeks away from the first game of the season and Dicko is our only centre forward.
