V.Johnathan.Wilson Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I'd imagine that Sheffield played a lot more direct than us which necessitate the need for either Archer or another number 9 to have good holdup play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I have seen on here that Archer looks pretty quick but from the clips he runs away at first but the defenders do seem to be able to get to him.

Hopper Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) If we're able to pull off the O'Riley tranfer now, it would actually be transformative. BBD, Archer and Arma with MOR feeding them would be a huge upgrade on last season. I'd even suggest as it is that Smallbone's eye for a pass/assist with these three is exciting.

Kristian Loekkegaard Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I'm a little confused but glad we got him. Villa sold him to S.U. last summer for around 18 mill. I get that 👍 , BUT was there an "immediate buy back" agreement in the event of S.U. relegation since Archer seems to have had a full pre-season with Villa? And have we therefore signed him from Villa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintant Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Presume we'll see him on the bench tomorrow and he'll get a run-out in the second half when we're comfortably ahead 🙂 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you 👍 never really heard of such a deal between a selling and a buying club before but I kind of like it. It seems sober enough. The player got his get out of relegated S.U. wish fulfilled, a proper pre-season at Villa and a new contract elsewhere. Ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I know many disagree but I'd still try again for Ings if Stewart isn't really going to play much again.

He's never been a player that relied on pace so his age is less of an issue than for other strikers. Most importantly he knows where the goal is.

He was also at his best when played with a support striker and it seems we have a couple of those in BBD and Archer. I don't expect us to and maybe we can't justify his wages but if tall paul and Mars both goes I still think we are a bit light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's done and is going to be forced to retire, sadly. I can see an unexpected, leftfield deadline-day loan coup happening for a more traditional no. 9 striker that comes out of nowhere. Either that, or we end keeping Onuachu, which personally I wouldn't be against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't per se mind for a second if Ings came back, as I can see him score a few important goals for us, and he's the last Saints striker to get 20+ PL goals in a season.
