ally_uk Posted 25 January, 2023 Posted 25 January, 2023 Board have sanctioned one more player in and want a striker. Keep it realistic who should we get and why?
Saint Fan CaM Posted 25 January, 2023 Posted 25 January, 2023 What does realistic mean? £10m, £20m, 30m? At £10m-£20m, I’d say save your money, you’re not getting anyone in this window of any worth costing less than this. In fact I would hazard a guess that £30m is the lowest, but is that realistic for SR to stump up? Probably not, so I’m afraid fantasising over a player we’ll never get is pointless. Sorry.

Saint Garrett Posted 25 January, 2023 Posted 25 January, 2023 Obviously a bunch on here that are way above our station, but this is the top goals + assists in the top 10 leagues this season so far under the age of 23...must be someone in there that CDAJFU https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scorer/topscorer/statistik/2022/plus/0/galerie/0?saison_id=2022&art=top10&land_id=0&altersklasse=u23&ausrichtung=Sturm&spielerposition_id=&filter=0&yt0=Show

Why would he leave to play hoofball at the arse end of the PL when his team are in a title race?
kristian Posted 25 January, 2023 Posted 25 January, 2023 (edited) "Fantasy" and keeping it realistic is difficult and I imagine we looked at most of these but couldn't find opportunities that actually worked. Junior Adamu - Unrealistic but we were previously linked and he's in a smaller league Terem Moffi - Seemingly SR's top choice, doesn't want PL unless huge wages or a bigger club Moussa Dembele - Previously linked, had a bad season so far but still a good g/90 and pedigree Lassina Traore - Stuck playing in Ukraine still, very talented young goalscorer Beto - Bad footballer and can't pass, but his strength and pace cause problems and he takes chances Petar Musa - Benfica's Nunez replacement but Ramos is clearly filling that void very nicely Paul Onuachu - Off to Frankfurt, would win headers, not sure if he's got the movement or agility for PL Sehrou Guirassy - Only basing this one off advanced stats and experience Vitinha - Worth a look but wouldn't be confident that he's worth a £26m release clause Elye Wahi - Not the most convincing record but is the best young #9 in Ligue 1 Edited 25 January, 2023 by kristian 1

woodsaint1 Posted 25 January, 2023 Posted 25 January, 2023 Ermedin Demirovic (Augsburg) - unlikely as he only moved there in the summer Marcus Ingvartsen (Mainz 05) - again not likely as he only moved there in the summer Viktor Gyokeres (Coventry) - most likely. Coventry moving towards no mans land where they're unlikely to make the playoffs or get relegated so they might cash in
FarehamSaintJames Posted 25 January, 2023 Posted 25 January, 2023 Vitinha (Braga) or Gyokeres (Coventry) would be my choices. Neither are going to happen though, I guess, hence the “fantasy” element. 😅
Tommy Posted 26 January, 2023 Posted 26 January, 2023 (edited) Easy. Considering the strategy to buy young then it’s Marcos Leonardo for me from Santos. took a liking to watching Brazilian football couple years ago and through last year, this kid has strength, turn of pace, good technique, got a trick in him and is a penalty box goal scorer Edited 26 January, 2023 by Tommy

southamptonfc Posted 26 January, 2023 Posted 26 January, 2023 Emmaneul Dennis. Should've paid whatever we needed to in summer to get him ahead of Forest. We'd be comfortable midtable now.

I was never sure on him, he had a purple patch at the start of the year with Watford and then fell off a cliff. That never recovered at Forest either, for £20m I'm glad we steered clear. 2

Same one yes, even more reason to go for him. By your logic, Lukaku would also have been useless for us since he failed to turn up at Chelsea. If we continue to steer clear of proven Premier League goal scorers, there's only one place we'll end up. In the Championship. He may have not been a super star all seaon but I had him in my fantasy team, he scored goals and assists all through the season. Edited 26 January, 2023 by southamptonfc

kristian Posted 27 January, 2023 Posted 27 January, 2023 Vitinha: SC Braga this week rejected an offer of 18 M € from an English club, which, in turn, warned that it would increase the value in the next few hours. The Braga fans continue to ask for a number close to the 30 M termination clause €

Crab Lungs Posted 30 January, 2023 Posted 30 January, 2023 Would still love Mohamed Sherif. Both footed striker, doesn’t mess around. Quick and clinical.
