Benteke who goes months between goals? They need goals desperately to stay up, they need to take a punt on an actual goal scorer. Experience is a myth. They don't need experience they need quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will concede that Benteke is a bad shout but Giroud? Maybe they could get someone on loan, is that lad from Chelsea playing much, Batman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could get someone on loan, is that lad from Chelsea playing much, Batman? Giroud has no Premier league goals this year, two last year, three the year before. The last time he got double figures was 16/17 when he managed twelve at a top four club. His record in the Prem is 16 in a season in which he played every single game, again for a top four club. He's an over the hill donkey with zero mobility, limited technical ability and no goals left in him. Edited 16 January 2020 by Finnegan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, watched an article on Giroud and despite the fact he does not play much, he has a good return when he does start. If they go for Samatta it will be interesting but no idea why you feel that’s a safer bet. To be honest, not that I care, it’s Villa For reference Edited 16 January 2020 by Dahnsouff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMELcfc Posted 30 January 2020 Share Posted 30 January 2020 I get the feeling (probably more in hope) that summer is when we spend big, but also see a lot leave (permanently) Slimani Silva Gray Mendy Amartey King James Diabaté Ghezzal Kapustka Not saying they’ll all go but at least half will... throw in a few academy players, you could say we will have a bit of an overhaul going on... That being the case then money will be freed up on wages more than anything Also by the summer we will know if we have champions league football which will increase the profile of player we can attract (plus the extra cash it brings). And the new training ground should be ready by then, no? Things like this raise the profile and it should raise the bar in who we sign. The timing isn’t right in my opinion... if we finish top 4, that’s when we strike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabrah Posted 30 January 2020 Share Posted 30 January 2020 Ideally we need a centre back. Ideally, that is, if we want to continue with our longer term aims. (Not my opinion btw, just me listening to what's been said and reading between the lines etc) There's a stated aim of getting Benkovic out on loan, which is understandable. I think that's both to give him more game time and for Rodgers to assess whether he's a long term option (obviously he is still uncertain, even after Celtic, otherwise Benko would be 3rd choice now) To meet that aim, cover is needed. Wes would give his all, of that there can be no doubt, but is it wise given his age and lack of mobility? I've no idea who could step up from the development squad but it seems there is no one. So that really does only leave the option of us getting someone in. I can't actually see it happening (reasons I've given elsewhere) but I hope I'm wrong because I want the club to progress on its aims. I think we'll be making do with what we have until the summer - though were that leaves Benkovic, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Leeds Fox Posted 30 January 2020 Share Posted 30 January 2020 I think we have gone into this window looking to strengthen. Unfortunately we thought demiral was available and then he got injured and we probably thought we could get someone like Fraser in cheap and Bournemouth's current league standing has stopped that until the summer. Would still be nice to get a cb or winger in tomorrow but no point spending on any player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the majority of that list will leave when their contracts expire and not before. Edited 30 January 2020 by Gerard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Dykes Posted 30 January 2020 Share Posted 30 January 2020 I think we will probably get a CB in, likely on loan, and loan Benko out. Won't be shocked if it doesn't happen, though. We're performing above expectations with the squad we have, and won't want to waste money in a difficult transfer window when it can be much more wisely spent in a few months.
