toonotl 2431 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 More of the same old shit from the club so far. There's absolutely no need to sign new players before season ticket renewal deadline because all this 'new dawn' carry on is the season ticket renewal promo. It'll work too for the most part because the likes of CT represent the target audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Jesus man Europe is awash with Tier 2 strikers like Austin. Get a couple of pacey forwards with something about them. How HARD can it BE? Yeah and Dost needs it on a plate. We have no plates. Edited June 15, 2015 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12460 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Every time I read about this, our offer seems to have gone down, and their demands seem to have gone up. Wouldn't be surprised if we end up with someone off them, at a reasonable price as a thank you for driving Austin's price up for Liverpool or whomever he ends up at. Aye, I feel like anytime there is another club in for a player we're in for the deal is basically dead in the water. 9m for a striker of Austin's level is nowt tbh, players like Steven Fletcher went for that years ago, if they have really bid that it's clear this was another attempt at making the fans feel like they were doing something coupled with a bullshit report saying it's close from their favorite newspaper. Expect this one to be another we can't get across the line. Bas Dost doesn't fill me with any confidence btw, never looked much use any time I've seen him.

Yeah and Dost needs it on a plate. We have no plates. There were only three players who scored more PL goals than Austin last season. Europe is clearly not awash with that quality of player.

Yeah and Dost needs it on a plate. We have no plates. I wouldn't mind signing Dost if we were getting a couple of proven assist-machines, or if I had full faith in McClaren to get the best out of de Jong and Cabella.

toonotl 2431 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Owes much to the final pass if you ask me. We're not really short of "finishers", we've got Perez & Cisse, we need an Austin. More physical, more complete. Amirite? At the moment, I think the most important thing is the quality not the type of forward. Perez is quite versatile but young. Cisse is an out and out finisher but has had a fair few injuries. Ideally, I agree, we need someone with a bit of physical presence who is good with the ball. But I'd be happy simply with PL quality to start with given the lack of quality we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refuse to be enthusiastic until we actually manage to sign someone who isn't just some foreign no mark with one good season on record in a shit league.

Europe is clearly not awash with that quality of player. Yeah but we're not getting him. We're not getting a proven Tier 1 goalscorer 25m plus either are we? They went for Austin (told everyone) cause they imagined 9-10m would be enough. Cause they are buffoonery timeshare. What we can achieve however is pacy young strikers with the bit between their teeth and Europe IS packed with them.

Demba Ba App: 307 Goals: 147 Goal every other game. Plus quality link up play added in. Em Riviere: App: 211 Goals: 49 One in four. Offers fuck all else. Really fast runner though. Like Obertan.

toonotl 2431 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 He fits the billing for exactly what you're describing from the continent. Don't let that lead you to the conclusion that there aren't a thousand other examples of incredibly fast one-dimensional players who we could waste money on signing if you were in charge.
