saintant Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 If we can get Bijlow plus a decent quick, powerful centre forward who knows where the goal is this will complete a very good transfer window in my book. Fail to sort out a keeper and striker and we will have again failed to sort out two major weaknesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fail to sort out a keeper and striker and we will have again failed to sort out two major weaknesses. Bijlow and an attacker of some form would have me happy, whether that be a creative midfielder, winger or striker. I think we've been clever this window and given ourselves a reasonable chance of survival, which would also have us in an extremely strong position to come back up again if we were to go down.

MilwaukeeSaint Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 The added bonus of signing Bijlow (assuming it comes off) is still having a second PL loan spot to use then. I had assumed that the second loan would be used on a GK, but if we get that sorted with Bijlow I could very well see an attacker from a bigger PL club come in on loan in the final few days of the window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good that we're still being linked to forward options but he seems quite similar to Archer and would be nice to have an alternative that gives us something different. I guess we've got BBD to be a bit more physical and hold the ball up but he seems more comfortable on the left. This fella has apparently turned down Leeds and Forest when both in the premier league so not sure he'd be that interested in coming here either. Cheers for the link though. I don't disagree but if this rumour is true then I'm just heartened that they still recognise a weakness in our attack. Agree though id like someone tall and mobile if possible.

No, I don't think he made any glaring mistakes but I don't think he made any amazing saves either. Basically the opposite of the likes of David James and Kelvin Davis etc who make brilliant saves and then let in back passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that looked like it was probably going to be a goal, was. The definition of ‘steady’. Just a perfectly solid 7/10 every week.

The Curse of St Mary's Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 We need a pacey wide player with end product more so than a striker imo. Jack Clarke type signing would be ideal. Should Ross Stewart be loaned out perhaps then a striker would then be sensible. I think BBD can play the #9 role. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want other teams to like playing us, bring a little of the 90s Wimbledon crazy gang back, without the OTT fouling. And in line with Russells wanting us to be exactly that: a "nasty" team to meet. Last season. What he meant was of course that other teams would hopefully run out of energy running after the ball all the time with our pass and move style.......
