ts_1010 Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 Just having a striker that forces CBs to double up on him would be a huge benefit for the way we play. Our wingers are going to be our big threat this year. So having defenders feel like they can't support their fullbacks too much, as they won't be able to handle the cross into the box, is going to make our wingers more dangerous. If teams want to double up on Fatawu and Mavididi/Monga, and they will, they will have to bring over midfielders which opens space in the middle. If Kone can be aerially dominant, it makes the low block much less effective. If he has the strength to hold off a defender while making a decent wall pass, or sliding through a runner, then he can really damage teams defending the way Wednesday did. We don't have anyone like him in the club. This makes far too much sense. He's going to go to Preston isn't he? 3
mozartfox Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 Relax -the maestro aka Dufkin has got this. If Marti wants, we will get him. 1
Happy Fox Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 We are taking the proverbial piss again transfers wise, not confident we will sign him.

Philkeavo Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 The game yesterday screamed we need a striker like Kone, a target man. The amount of crosses we going to see from our wingers cries out for a finisher. I thought Ayew struggled in the front man role in the first half but was excellent in the second when he dropped deep. We need a another striker without doubt. 4
TeamRocket Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 Can we just clone Vardy and just keep doing that for ever?

LestaLad Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 If we actually want him then we’ll just go match the bid and he’d choose us. We won’t though, unfortunately.
winteriscoming Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 Apparently he wanted 25k a week. Not sure how true that is but guaranteed to score against us if he joins QPR.
Claudio Fannieri Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 Doesn’t mean it’s dead in the water my hope is now a bid has been accepted we know what we need to match.
moore_94 Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 We are definitely going to carry on with just Ayew and Daka aren’t we 1
lcfcsnow Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 QPR is his level, not scored in his past 11 games in the division below

Happy Fox Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 We are taking the proverbial piss yet again, unless we have a better target in mind which I sincerely doubt.

mozartfox Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 Get Danny Ings in on a 5 year contract at 100,000 big ones a week. Forget trying to sign young potential. Get it done Duffers!
Kp1984 Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 Think it’s coming very clear that the club are not going to spend anything. Hence the youth push 3 of which was on the bench. 1 goalkeeper on a free so far and I’m starting to think if it’s not a loan or free we won’t be making a move 3
FoxinNotts Posted 11 August 2025 Posted 11 August 2025 As i said earlier, I reckon we're only going to go for Free transfers (the good ones left out there won't want to come here), and loan deals only. We won't be spending a bean on 'transfer fees' 1
