Gabriel Vidovic having a decent pre season for Bayern can’t see him being in the first team set up this season though would be a decent loan for someone. Plays as a 10/SS or up top.
 
Absolute speakman witch hunt. Itd mental. It's a social media narrative and we've all seen recently how strongly such narratives can embed in people's minds
The position with strikers rests with him as he is the sporting director, surely its his responsibility. Also, the fact that outside the first team (maybe 14 players), the rest look very average.

After making his return yesterday on the Venoix annex 3 , Alexandre Mendy trained indoors.

Alexandre Mendy, who had appeared with a small group of players the day before, was absent. The centre forward, whom the club refuses to give up at a lower cost, will have to continue his training partly individually. It remains to be seen whether this first return is the end of the saga or simply another episode...
So they are after x amount, we wont pay it. Seems more likely it'll go the end of the window and we could do with someone asap.

I'd say we are stronger than that. Outside of the starting XI against Cardiff, you could add Ballard, Huggins, Seelt, Rigg, Mundle, Ekwah, Poveda (you'd assume) and Aouchiche as players capable of making an impact in this division.
Add a striker into the mix and we have a strong squad with a good chance
 
Anyone else just want a new link to a different experienced striker, the Mendy saga is so annoying <laugh>
 
Hume, Pembele, Huggins (inj), Seelt (inj), O'Nien and Zak Johnson can all function at RB.

I think even if Pembele goes we're unlikely to replace him, unless it's a young lad to go into the u21s.
I think you're missing the point that RLBs system relies on full backs as an attacking threat. So, yes, Seelt, Johnson and other centre backs can cover RB but, as we saw last night, playing centre backs at full back nullifies what we are trying to do. Our aim is promotion and playing centre backs at full back is not going to put us in such a position. If Cirkin and Hume stay fit the system will operate well. Similarly, if Huggins gets back. But if we are playing CBs at FB then it will be a long old system.
 
People keep saying that but the truth is even worse. We worked hard to get 4 strikers in last summer. Spent money on 3 of them. It's not like they've done nothing
Wish people would stop saying we brought in 4 strikers We brought in a FORWARD fro ukraine not a striker. A 19 yr old with zero first team experience. Another 19 year old with a handful of first team appearances and a prem loan with again a handful of first team games. Hardly gonna get the goals you need in this league

So we brought in 3 strikers and a forward?
