hypochondriac Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) This sounds exactly like the type of striker we would sign. Someone with potential who we can develop and who might be good next season after relegation. Basically not what we need for survival this year.

Matthew Le God Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Just now, Badger said: In a weaker league. Regardless of it being a weaker league it still counters the non scoring striker description. He scores once every 3 games on average. Plus he was very young for many of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I wonder why it's only Trabzonspor going for Onuachu this summer. Is it because he's 30? After the 2015-16 season he has a good scoring record each year, barring his half a season with us. Last season he hit 15 goals in 21 league appearances in Turkey, which you would think would get a bit of attention on him. But, the cheap skates from Turkey have been the only links all summer. You'd think another club would panic and sign him thinking they can play to his strengths, while we did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given YouTube often makes players look better than they are then it doesn't bode well. I guess if it's a loan and only an option rather than an obligation to buy then it's low risk financially but I don't see it solving any problems scoring goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 33 minutes ago, S-Clarke said: He's a bit of a comedic figure in Brazilian football, known as the striker who doesn't score - so I can absolutley understand why we'd be after him. He was highly regarded as a youngster, and we have been linked before, but his last 18 months in Brazil have been horrific and he doesn't have many fans over there. He may just need a change of scenery, but jurys out. Worryingly, that going to rock a lot of boxes on our scouting reports.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 2 hours ago, SaintTex said: Brighton have signed 5 impact players that for whatever reason are simply not within our reach (€30m to €45m each) Our 5 impact player signings are in the €8mil to €23m range. It's a huge gulf. (FFS, it's Brighton and it's a huge gulf - shaking my head) We knew we would be behind the 8 ball this season. It's going to take coaching, strategy, luck, and spirit (and not talent) to stay up this season and it remains to be seen if we will have any of it. You sound astonished that there is a gulf between Brighton and Saints’ pulling power. Here are a few things that may help: - we splashed millions on absolute dog shite signings two to three years ago, along with paying off poor managerial appointments - we then got relegated, missing out on full Premier League money last year. Meanwhile Brighton enjoyed European football - Brighton have in the last few years sold Bassouma, Caciedo, Cucarella and Trossard for a total of £228 million. That excludes fees for other players, it is just those four listed. So when you say “for whatever reason”, I hope this has helped to crack the puzzle! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 1 hour ago, Matthew Le God said: Why would Saints do that? If he is fit enough to play for a club on loan, he'd be fit enough to help Saints this season. A player who's been out for the thick end of 2 years, who's never kicked a ball in the PL, cannot realistically be expected to make his comeback in the PL and he a success. If he has any sort of fitness, he needs to go somewhere else to get his form back, and we need someone else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 At least if we got jwp back we have someone with proven performance in the prem. Bijlow Suga Bednarek THB Kwp Downes JWP Fernandes Gives us more players I have some confidence can perform in the prem for a reasonable period of time. Still incredibly hard to stay up but would help us. I don't care if we have other worse players in positions he plays, I'd get him back for the prem experience alone.

I don't think Hugo is part of the deal anymore, he is rated quite highly actually and is valued at the £15-20m mark. I think we were a bit cheeky hoping for some money and him. Couldn't agree a loan with obligation. (from what I've read). Sounds like a straight £20m for Charly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feeling on this one is that we've gone on a punt based on what he was in the past, potential etc, in the hope that he can rediscover what made him spoken about a few years ago. He's a similar style to that of Jonathan Calleri if you remember him, Was at WHU for a season and flopped (and he's regarded as a better player than Alberto) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 A striker and a goalkeeper have been an issue for a couple of years now, less than a week left and neither closer to being resolved. The attacker piece is laughable because that suggests we’re going to do some attacking, which given our timid 5-5-0 formation at home at the weekend suggests otherwise.
