We need somebody to fill that gap and we're going to need somebody we can afford who is willing to come to us. We are not a particularly attractive propositionat the moment. If Aribo does come I trust he will be better than either of our present incumbents. Surely you cannot be more ineffective. Every week I seem to see other teams with strikers I have never heard of doing a better job. Couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag - no threat on the ground and none in the air, we desperately need someone and if it has to be Aribo I hope it works out. Just because he's crap at one club doesn't necessarily mean he can't do a job at another. Aribo is not a striker, the big issue is Southampton fans don’t seem to rate him, which suggests he’s probably equally rubbish 47 minutes ago, Foxdiamond said: That is a fair point but wouldn't be the first player to benefit from a change of club and do well. It can happen but it’s unlikely to happen here with our recruitment, especially with this type and calibre of player, we sign a terrible player and normally they get worse. Saints fans describe him as a lazy clumsy waste of space, so sounds like he should fit in well! Edited 2 February by Foxin_Mad

People need to stop spinning the “we don’t have money” narrative. Having no limit left on the credit card / not being able to spend in order to stay within the rules … same end result - we have no money to spend 2
PSR Fox Posted 2 February Posted 2 February Seems to be a highly rated kid at Man City & Pep spoke very highly of him recently. But appears he is a CAM which i don't think we need with De Cordova Reid & Page to play there already. We desperately need a centre forward & while this lad "can" play there its not his natural striker & IMO may not sniff out the limited chances we do create.

BrilliantFox Posted 2 February Posted 2 February (edited) We better all pray the manager that comes in uses a system with a False 9. According to Man City fans, thats his best position. Edited 2 February by BrilliantFox
Trav Le Bleu Posted 2 February Posted 2 February I can already hear the shouts of, "Pass it, Div!" and "Get into him, Div!" on the training ground.

Hmmmm 1

AjcW Posted 2 February Posted 2 February (edited) Just throwing this around… I don’t think for a second Man City would agree to loan us a player without knowing who our new/full time manager will be. Edited 2 February by AjcW 1

Ah yes. They’d love it if we appointed a manager who Pep said he could learn a lot from or something along those lines….. 1
Drain the Swamp Posted 2 February Posted 2 February Given the fact our current strikers couldn't score on Epstein Island with $4bn and a vat of fake tan, he'd better be prolific. 4
