woodsaint Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 I'd have liked Snodgrass. Could have been just that little bit of creative spark from midfield that we lack. Theyll lose Payet though so will be worse off. Jose could struggle too as West Hams midfield wont give him the protection hes had the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 Do we need another CB, can't they all just step up, Yoshida replaces Fonte and Stephens replaces Yoshida. That's how it's meant to work. We might need cover if VVD is out for a long time, otherwise lets put faith in our system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it's meant to work. We might need cover if VVD is out for a long time, otherwise lets put faith in our system. If VVD is out for three months, as is being reported, we certainly need another CB. Behind Yoshida and Stephens we have Gardos who has barely played for two seasons if another CB gets injured we are in the ****. I'd be happy enough with a loan if they are half decent (ie not Steven Caulker)but we are short of numbers at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 28 January, 2017 Author Share Posted 28 January, 2017 @SkyKaveh: Tianjin Quanjian offer £38m (€45m) for Leicester City striker Islam Slimani.

Badger Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 Rafael Benitez doesn't want Tim Krul back at Newcastle now that he's recovered from injury during a loan spell at Ajax. We could do a lot worse for a back-up goalkeeper. Be a good option. As McCarthy doesn't seem to be in contention and no suggestion of a return date from injury I'd be surprised if we're not considering a GK option, otherwise its Lewis or Taylor. One inexperienced, the other, none of his previous clubs dare play him. (Now watch Lewis perform heroics today). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyinthesky Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 Definitely need a CB. Gardos looked like he had never played football before. Totally agree with this Have to understand he has been out for around 2 years but he looked very poor today. It would be a disaster if something happened to Yoshida and Gardos had to play alongside an inexperienced Jack Stephens for the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely need a new cb with vvd seemingly out for a few months and a goal scorer as we simply don't have one beyond the glass Austin. Agree we have priorities, but take issue with your comments on the GK's. Lewis - looked a bit like a lamb facing the slaughter, not altogether his fault with a hapless defence in front of him, but that won't have done his confidence any good. Taylor - has spent most of his career making the numbers up as a back up,there's a reason for that. McCarthy - shame he's been injured as he might have given FF some much needed competition and possibly replaced him after his recent run of form. But as he doesn't feature anywhere at the moment I wouldn't include him within the options. FF often looks as if he's playing in wellies, but he's our only option at the moment. Injury to him, on top of our CB issues, and we're in Sh1t Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point of course, but wouldn't it be better to bring in someone we actually want, rather than desperately scrabbling around for someone who is available (or that another club is prepared to release) in the event of an injury. If we're relying on favours we could end up with a Kasey Keller, or a Tommy Forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
