[Albion] Ze Luis - offer rejected
- Thread starter elwheelio
- Start date
HEAR HEAR!!
Now that would make a difference!!, and play him up front and centre, where he has always wanted to be, a great player that is underused by Arsenal!
I dont think that Arsen likes him very much, a previous spat methinks.
Quote-- Hughton. "He's not our player, probably one of 100 names thrown in who I would want if I could."
We would make do with one good one, or two at a pinch, as soon as we start scoring again, light the blue [and white] touchpaper!!

Crystal Palace are the latest club to show an interest in Spartak Moscow attacker Ze Luis, claim Sport.Mail.Ru.

None of us can know what the club is planning. However a few things are different than the summer
1. The pressure to sign a striker this time has certainly increased. It was noticeable that everyone at the club admitted to disappointment in August. The fans were certainly very disappointed.
2. Both Murray and Hemed have done ok - perhaps better than I thought they would. However recently the lack of goals has begun to hurt us.
3. We have a run of games against the bottom clubs coming up before the end february. If a new striker is to make a difference then they need to hit the ground running. We can’t afford someone taking 6 or 8 games to settle.
All of this means that the type of striker we look at may have changed xonsiderably since the summer, We may now need someone with premier league or at least UK football experience who is match fit and absolutely ready to play. This might suit a loan. If the striker would be expected to take time to settle and adapt, then perhaps the club might choose to wait until the summer?

What about signing Mitrovic from Newcastle would that be a reasonable idea or can we get better cheaper. from Eastern Europe. We need to unearth the next Berbatov.

Probably as good as Jose.

Maybe we should stick Izquierdo in the middle. We could have our own version of Walcott
I don’t think that is the worst call. Just some mobility and pace would be nice

If he was that good he would be playing for a struggling Newcastle and he couldn't hold down a regular slot in their Championship side..add to that his suspect temperament ....its a no from me

Quite agree as his goal scoring record when he does get on is very poor
We need someone who is up to speed and playing regularly at a decent level
( Which is a hard ask)

I thought this a possibility.There is no doubting he is quick and could pull the defence around a bit. He cost 13.5 million so he must have something?

Though I agree with the sentiment; I would hate to imagine what these boards would be like if we did. Berbatov was never one for running, tracking back or helping out with any defensive work at set pieces (even the most ardent of Spurs fans would call him lazy).Genuinely the complete opposite of what Hughton goes for.

So put Izquierdo in the middle where he doesn't have any space to use his pace, and then don't play Gross - who has more assists than any other player and is probably our player of the season. Rightio

CH has consistently ruled this out when asked about it.
