ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

Yeah! Saw Neto in the highlights of the game against the ManScum and he is "Good" and fast as hell.

Arsenal having shown an interest in Ollie Watkins of villains who is on a hat-trick - so his stock will have risen considerably.

If this does happen, I can see it involving ESR going the other way. They were in for him a couple of summers back and I can't see them letting Watkins go without a player and money in return.

You could well be right Perry, especially as ESR is too good a talent to only warm the bench and get scraps of minutes as a substitute.


Watkins is Good, but I still would prefer Ivan Toney , who for me he has a bit of that Old Skool No9 vibe about him; I mean not just the gambling etc) whereas Watkins is less of a physical centre forward / target man.

I tend to agree with this OBG. I like Watkins, but he seems to be more of a "break away" type of forward, as opposed to a target man and a presence in the box. Given that we almost always boss possession, we don't score many goals from breakaways, but have to break down deep sitting defences. I wouldn't be averse to signing Toney.

I don't think Watkins or neto are what we need. We need toney type.

I agree that Toney might be a better fit than Watkins...not that I mind Watkins as a player....but Neto is a winger, not a centre forward. He's also an old fashioned type winger, very quick and takes the full back on. Mind you El Basque will probably knock that out of him, as Wenger used to do with wingers. Much better to stop, and lay it off backwards.

Some people will say that we don't need wide players, but this bloke is the business (in my opinion of course) and while it would be crass to be too critical of Saka, Neto is a different proposition. Thinking about it, he's just the type of winger that could provide service to a striker like Toney.

Exactamondo! and he's Very VERY Quick with the ball at his feet, he would be a great signing... If we can pull it off.

[Retro Gunner]

This would be just our luck. For some reason, this lot always seem to get their man and often at a good price. If they want him, I’d be doubtful about us getting him. Hope I’m wrong.

I don't care about FFP. I don't care about our expenditure in the summer. I don't care about the club's finances.

What i do care about is us scoring goals which we aren't doing enough so far.

We need a proper striker.

Eddie & Jesus have scored 3 goals between them thus far.

Buy a fucking striker!!!

[xgtdec]

Theres a lad playing for Lyon absolutely banging them in.....Alex something or other....might be worth a look

[goonertux]

HAS to be Toney or Evan Ferguson from Brighton in January.
