Strikers next season (10 Viewers)

[fatso]

I know they arnt strikers, but I think we can off load Kastaneer, Hilssner and Jobello, which would make room and money for a couple of decent pacy forwards.
And let's not forget we should (?) have JJ back next season (where have we heard that before)

In truth we need four players good enough to come straight into our first eleven that’s potentially a lot of money or a lot of luck in the freebie market.

 

[shmmeee]

Less bothered about pace. Needs to be someone who can bring down high balls out and bring others into play and win some headers in the box.

Depends on budget. If we can afford it get rid of Max and get two strikers in, otherwise keep him and get one as there’s other priorities for me.

We'd get next to nothing for those 3 & they won't be on massive salaries either. Hilßner won't be written off just yet I don't think as we paid a fee for him.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Keep Walker and Godden! Definitely let go of max and Baka as they simply aren’t good enough and get in 2 new strikers

 

[PVA]

Baka will go, I think Biamou will stay and that means we just have to sign one striker with Biamou dropping to 4th choice.

 

[mark82]

It’s the defence that’s conceded more than all teams but two this season

A lot of that was early season. Think we've been much better recently. That said, we need to improve there in the summer and I'm sure we will.

It's not so much the money we would get for them as the places in the squad it would free up. As the 3 i mentioned arnt likely to ever get a game for us, we could take a punt on a couple of free signings instead, or young players released from premier league teams, like we did with O'hare, or how about a foreign striker like when we signed Cedric Roussel.

Fair enough. Thought when you said "Decent" you were hoping to sell them to fund proven quality, was just managing expectations!

Somebody in a similar mould to Roussel would be a good fit with Walker I think.

Can you still sign players from the eu as easily I am not sure

 

[Liquid Gold]

All depends on where the budget is really. In an ideal world we’d have Walker and Godden plus two new strikers, one a big strong unit who can hold it up and get on the end of crosses and one speed merchant that can stretch the defence.

In reality we’re going to need a load of new players, ideally a champ level GK, a load of new CBs (at least one left footed and our best on e is only on loan), a LWB and an AMC.

I’d rather we bought in a few players of proven quality than loss of gambles so that would limit to one ST, LCB and LWB with loans peppered in elsewhere.

 

[Frostie]

No, not so readily. I wonder if the likes of South America will be the new markets EFL clubs try to tap into. Trickier transitions though so expect a fair few flops.

Yeah, exactly. Going to need a pretty big overhaul so may have to be done gradually.

Assuming we sign Sheaf we still need to replace the other 4 loanees + a striker & a goalkeeper as bare minimum.

 

[cc84cov]

29 is no age nowadays for a pro. footballer and Goddens’ injury record isn’t that bad his recent injury was apparently a rare one not helped by coming back too early. For me we need at least one good striker two if we sell Godden that’s not knowing what young recent recruit Tavares brings to the table, ideally left sided with power and pace but buying strikers is the most difficult of signings established ones in our division cost a few million and want top dollar 3/4 year contracts, finding one in the lower leagues again costly fee wise and a bit of a gamble. There is the loan market just look where Villa are now largely thanks to the successful loan of Tammi Abrahams in their promotion year.

Godden has suffered with a reoccurring injury most his career

Now we are out of the EU and not under the European court, we should be able to make our own rules up, but it might take a little time.

The rules we have made make it in theory harder to sign Eu players

[Sick Boy]

Ideally 2 new strikers and release Biamou and Bakayoko.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

You wouldnt have Armstrong then

He aint small

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

It's hard to answer without knowing what budget we have. I'd replace Baka in whichever division we end up. Godden needs to show he's genuinely over this injury by the end of the season. Godden and Walker would be a first choice partnership I'd be delighted with in L1 but for a 2nd season in the Championship that waters are a bit more muddy.

In an ideal world I'd want an improved version of Max who is consistently at the level and let Godden and Walker fight to partner him. A first name on the team sheet striker is going to be expensive though. If i could alternatively get a quality AM, a left sided CB and a better 3rd choice striker for that same number 1 striker budget? Not sure what i'd go for.

Obafemi?

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Too old now I'm afraid, and not close to prolific.

We cant afford a prolifc striker

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Obafemi?

Martins he must be nearly as old as me as his Nigerian age is 36

Cant JJ play as a second striker like Maradonna could (Im obviously not comparing them just saying sort of position wise

Noo the one at southampton

 

[Magwitch1]

Not looked much into it but I thought those coming in the country to work had to be earning a minimum £25k a year which I would think footballers would do.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

It’s the defence that’s conceded more than all teams but two this season

I have a solution to it
Left footed Center back : Van Aken from Sheff Weds.
Central Center back : Osti (if he stays)
Right Center back : Rose
Back ups : Hyam, Pask, Drysdale and Thompson

 

[Magwitch1]

Godden has suffered with a reoccurring injury most his career

So what would you do with Liam Kelly then ? getting rid of Godden is easy it’s replacing him that’s the hard part, he scores goals, we need a striker as well as keeping Godden and Walker get rid of one of them we need two.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

We could sign Fleetwood’s Callum Camps he’s not a striker but he is an AM who could play with O’hare in behind Walker

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

We could sign Fleetwood’s Callum Camps he’s not a striker but he is an AM who could play with O’hare in behind Walker

He has 8 goals and 1 assist in 31 league games for Fleetwood this season he also has 2 goals and 1 assist in the cups over 5 games

Quite possibly, but given his injury problems I think we would want more cover.

Probably a good thing to have regardless

 

[Frostie]

???
He's 5'6", there's not many smaller than that.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

We might have to accept, given the budget, any upgrade on Biamou isn't huge, but with more potential to hit a higher ceiling.

 

[Seaside-Skyblue]

I'm surprised when anyone says let Godden go. He's a natural goal scorer and has proven it at every club he's been at looking at his stats. Not quite a 1 in 2 but not far off that. I get the bit about if he can't get over his injury but I feel he's a player we need to keep 100%
