The January 2024 "Will we actually sign a striker or just Che Adams/Kieffer Moore" Transfer Thread

[Paddingtonwolf]

TEAMtalk bot programmed to barf out several “interested clubs” to hang a story on then? The list is utterly random.

Also not a position of particular need. Placing it in the unlikely pile.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I think O'Neil does see it as a need. He said the other week that he only saw Hwang and Neto as wide options out of our current squad and one of them is injured now.

 

[Alan]

At a push we could probably make Bellegarde or Cunha work wide right, but like Toti at LB you’d hope to avoid it if possible.

The other is off for a month from mid Jan

Yep, that could be a real issue, fortunately the winter break helps us a little.

4 league games if they were to make the final

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Limp off with a hamstring after 89 minutes of the Everton game on 30th Dec so he can't go. Recovered by Brighton on 22nd Jan.

Plus Traore and RAN at the ANC, fortunately we have better cover there if Bueno ever gets fit, what is wrong with him? Really quiet on him?

Traore isn't currently getting into Mali senior team squads, now that could change particularly if he becomes a PL regular, but I'd say at the moment it's less likely than likely

Gabriel Sara seems to be a good player for Norwich.

Brazilian, CM/AM. Known for his left foot shot and timing runs into the box. Used to be a DM so very combative too. 5 goals and 5 assists this season so far.

I think Norwich's parachute payments dry up next summer so could possibly be had for a non ridiculous fee. Cost them around £11m from Sao Paulo who have a 10% sell on fee.

Not really an area we are short in though.

He was rubbish yesterday

 

[Del Woppio]

Looking forward to three pages on whether he played on the right wing or not when he was 15

What does football manager say?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We have plenty of central midfielders so we aren’t signing one.

Mario won’t be here forever. I could definitely see us sell someone from midfield if it’s for more than we’d hypothetically pay for Sara.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We are going to buy Doyle permanently in CM. We are t going to be buying someone from Norwich.

 

[The Bear]

Absolutely.

What if someone offers us £60m for Cunha next summer?

 

[Johnny75]

Absolutely.

What if someone offers us £60m for Cunha next summer?

Then we'll buy another forward.

 

[The Bear]

Then we'll buy another forward.

After we already bought one in January?

Yes
