Anyone seen him play/know much about him? Seems to have a decent pedigree winning multiple caps for Nigeria already.

Seems to be a plethora of links to midfielders at the moment but where are the effin strikers?!

Btw, BBC says a loan move for Joe Allen's been rejected.

 

[ValleyGraduate12]

Loan move? Wtf?? We should be buying him

Can't find anything regarding a striker on the internet though?

I have a strong feeling the club are working furiously in the background regarding a striker and we'll find out shortly... the worry though, is of what quality. Will it be good enough? Hopefully not just for the sake of signing someone.

Agree. I think they might be using these speculations about a midfielder to hide their work on a striker, I hope

Why Borini? Flopped at every club he's been at since his stint with us in the championship. Not good enough imo.

I've no strong feelings either way on this.

However, Valley, it could be that our (normal) style of play suits him better, and enables him to flourish, whereas elsewhere, that hasn't been the case?

 

[Kifflom!]

I disagree on Borini. Did the job at Championship level but has shown very little since. I can understand the observations on him being wrongly used at Liverpool but he's had plenty of opportunities at Sunderland. Does anyone think he would bring the goals to get us out of this mess? No, I don't either. Overrated by our fans, I think.

Onazi has been looked at by us for a while. Great player with a lot of promise, but do we need a holding midfielder? He's very creative though.

Keep Gomis.Play Routs just off him.

 

[Nosugarman1]

Slightly off topic I see Cardiff's latest loan signing Lex Emmers is delighted to be joining the biggest club in Wales. Should fit in well then as he is as deluded as the rest of them.

True. I am not convinced really either. But I think I would prefer him to Gomis.

 

[seabreeze]

I think one of our striker deal has already been done and not announced ....with Palace , Gomis for Gayle .

 

[Sbulby]

Gomis for gayle is a non starter at least according to Alan Pardew

Or maybe not ...but......managers say a lot of things sometimes ....Curtis said Shelvey was going nowhere .Granted , I'm not sure Curtis was in the loop on anything .

 

[toinfinityand beyond]

Jordan Rhodes mentioned on sky.Good striker but personally I think we need someone who is proven at the top level

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

Sky Sports reporting that we are in talks to re-sign Sinclair.

 

[Kifflom!]

Let's be honest, guys.....very little I'm reading here tells me we're getting someone in who can actually turn things around

Agree. He's worth a punt as a back up striker but we need somebody proven at the top level.

 

[Terror ball]

Attacking midfielder Gastón Ramírez is being heavily linked to us.

Sounds realistic as well. Why?
- Cheap. His contract is up in the summer = either a cheap deal now or a 5 month loan with the possibility of signing him on a free this summer.
- Pedigree.....he is a 25 year old Uruguay international who had his pick of clubs before joining Southampton for £12m
- Serie A experience with Bologna....So is known to Frank and probably speaks a smattering of Italian
- Fits our long standing criteria of signing hungry players with something to prove (having flopped in the Prem with Southampton you'd imagine this was the case)

He was on the verge of a return to Serie A this summer when Middlesboro started talking to him. We are rumored to have gatecrashed these talks.

Thoughts?

The closer we get to the end of the window , the more I worry about that we are going to settle for someone in panic .......at a hardy cost .
