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

[jd1981]

Josh Sargent is one we are tracking ahead of the summer window.

I’d rather go vegan for the remainder of the season

 

[Alan]

He’s developed a lot since his first season over here.

I'll take your word for it, I s'pose, but I've never rated him.

He got a lot of hype over here and I don't see much to any of it being justified.

Hey now, it's not that bad!

 

[Tony Towner]

Hey now, it's not that bad!

Only thing worse than being vegan is living with 2. Complete pain in the arse, particularly visiting your country

 

[jd1981]

Hey now, it's not that bad!

The thought of no bacon sandwiches on match day makes me shudder

 

[Kenny]

Haha I actually think he’s a lot of PL qualities

Haven't seen him since he left the PL but it would take huge levels of improvement to be up to being good enough for this level.

As with Ings...hope he is low down on our list

Josh Sargent is one we are tracking ahead of the summer window.

He's a genuine terrible player. Just about Championship standard, technically bereft and without an eye for goal.

That's really not a good combination.

 

[YoungWolf]

I’ve not seen him since his first season tbf, when he did look just like a workhorse and little else. His numbers in the championship aren’t bad I guess.

 

[GoldFlagFlyingHigh]

Ings is possible but would only be a short loan for the rest of the season and give Hwang some competition.
Obviously we want a main target in but, unless it’s a loan with an option, that won’t happen this month.
We’ll look for a long term striker signing in the summer window most probably.

He’s a good physical presence now and much more upto speed in this country. Had his injuries but I think he’ll prove to be PL standard moving forwards. Good age too.

He's played a half a dozen games this season.

He's shit.

4 goals and 1 assist in those games.

I've not seen him play though so dunno if he's still pony or not

Reading between the lines means he’s not coming here

He was okay for 45' today. Didn't stand out as much as Gyökeres last season, who himself didn't stand out a bunch to me.

He (Sargent) is just back from injury so only played the first half this morning. Idah created more but did less, if that makes sense.

I can tell you quite comfortably I wouldn't take either top scorer in the championship (16 in 25). Neither Szomdics or Armstrong would get in our team.

Stats aren't everything.

[Del Woppio]

If we're looking at Sargent and Ings I'd rather just split the minutes between Hesketh and Fraser between now and the summer and then do it properly

 

[sycophantia]

Ings makes no sense to me, the only difference between him and Sasa is he might be fine with just coming and sitting on our bench with minimal minutes, whereas Sasa wants to play.

 

[The Saturday Boy]

I would take Sargent at the right price, In Europe’s top leagues he has played for struggling sides but he would be at least an option to cover Cunha or Hwang. He does the hard work up front, can drop deep to collect the ball and is a penalty box goal scorer. We are a mid table Premier League side, top class strikers tend to play for teams at the top end of the big leagues.
