    Said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s mental that after 5 years in the premier league we have worse striking options than when we were promoted.

    Not expecting a 16 goal a season, Manchester United striker, but lol, we've ****ed up badly there. Imagine 5 years ago being desperate for a striker like Vydra lol

    We had one......he's called Ighalo.

    I agree with this and is a point I've made in the past. Vydra and Ighalo were better options than we have now. When I saw Gray and Vydra on opposite sides last Sunday, and the fact they both were about the same price, it's ridiculous to think we made that deal in the notion we were improving ourselves.

    It's very similar to sacking Dyche and appointing Zola. We had something better, but decided to change it for something not quite as good. We had better strikers in the Championship than we do now. The only areas where we've improved is midfield and on the flanks. Our central strike force and defence have stayed at the same level or even gone backwards compared to what we had in the Championship, IMO.

    Damn. Only just outside our budget.

    Rodon at Swansea has played well every time I've seen him play.

    Part swap for Wilmot?
     
  11. Carpster

    He's much better than Ben in all aspects of his game imo. But I would prefer to keep Ben, he understands the Championship now which is going to be a big plus for us next season.

    Rodon would probably be too expensive for us to afford outright though, but Wilmot + £10mil could do it?

    Probably cost a hell of a lot more than that.

    :D :( Bryan Mbeumo is excelling for Brentford again. The way they are playing I can see the Bees getting promotion. The number of young talented players they have found in recent seasons is extraordinary. We should have made an effort to get Benrahma and or Watkins last summer. There is no chance we can afford them now.

    Manchester United are sniffing around apparently. They might want to offload Bailly. It would be great to sign Rodon but Giraldi has hardly shown any delight in signing young British players and then keeping them here either. Wilmot could have been bled into the team for instance.

    So next season we could have Fraser, Longstaff, Gueye, Hart, Cucho, Suarez, Gibson, Estupinan & Todibo on loan. Virtually nothing spent on transfers. That'll do me.

    You do realise none of those will be here next season don't you ? Maybe Cucho if no one else wants him ?

    There's at least two Burnley rejects who can't get anywhere near their team in that list. Perfect targets for Giraldi and our backwards recruitment team.

    I'm sure Ryan Giggs would of bigged him up to Man Utd.

    Might be just enough to stay up in the champo next season ?

    Loader has signed for Crystal Palace today.

    Edit: I really must learn to read. Palace have only offered him a 3-year deal at this stage.

    Shame we haven't put an offer in, he looks a talented player. He'd do well at Palace.

    I think Mitrovic would be a good signing for us, especially if we stay up and Fulham don't get promoted, as he wouldn't be that expensive then. I may be biased because I'm Serbian but I think he's miles ahead of all our strikers. He's consistently scoring for both Serbian national team and for Fulham. In his last Premier league season he scored 11 goals which is more than any of our players managed in the past few seasons, and he did it in a relegated Fulham side. He also scored 9 goals in his first prem season with Newcastle when he was just 21. And he's still only 25.

    I agree...….but he'll go to Newcastle. Perfect for them.

    I don't think he'll come back to Newcastle after the way he was treated last time

    That'd be the dream, but you can be sure half the league will be after him

    Got Everton written all over him. As does Doucoure.

    The perfect club for players who think they're the dog's ******** but who wouldn't get into a Champions League team

    I was shouting out for Mitrovic last Summer, but as usual we did not make a move and now I think he would go elsewhere rather than come to us even if we do stay up.

    Did you? Prove it.

    I've had a search and could not find any comment of yours from last summer (or further back than this December) mentioning Mitrovic.

    Meanwhile, here's my post from last summer calling for Mitrovic:

    http://wfcforums.com/index.php?threads/transfer-suggestions.54511/page-22#post-2745764

    I wasn't the only one on here stating they wanted Mitrovic of course, but it seems you're 'The Voice of B******s' again.

    I believe I've championed him before. Seems to create a fair few goals for himself.

    I've mentioned Mitrovic loads of times. To lots of real life people too. No one listens and we don't end up signing him with £30m that we don't have. I even offered to lend the club a fiver.

    Lend? Your generosity knows no bounds.

    Seeing as it is tradition to discuss who we’d poach from the teams that are going, as they can have a few players who are proven at that level, who might we want to pinch from Stoke, Charlton, Huddersfield, Hull, Middlesbrough or Barnsley?
