[Albion] Which of these 5 strikers would you be interested in?

Kosh · Nov 11, 2017

Devante Cole for me.

Watch this space.

I'd rather this than ANY of that list. Over the hill, over priced, overrated, overly erratic. Utterly meh.

Bigtomfu · Nov 11, 2017

None of the above

Stat Brother · Nov 11, 2017

14% of NSC being unable to distinguish between the past and the future, doesn't surprise me.
But 77 people thinking Danny Ings is the answer, when 'none of the above' is an option, is pretty jaw dropping.

I can only assume all of the medical teams extended families are avid NSC'ers.

1. Kruse = we have a chance here as Bremen are currently in the relegation zone in the Bundesliga, same goes to Delaney. Prolific too, get him in!

2. Dolberg = he's been inconsistent this season, but he's a real handful of a striker and at 20 can only develop further into a potentially world beating star. No chance though, because clubs like Dortmund are sniffing around him.

3. Tosun = rejecting Palarse is almost always a plus point in my book. He's very difficult to pry away from Besiktas though, due to their superb performances especially in the Champions League.

4. Bakambu = a favourite of mine, and once again ripping up the La Liga. Unfortunately there's no way we can get him though

5. Sanabria = up-and-coming striker, bigger clubs are going to monitor his progress. Been mercurial for Betis this season, and if we put in a cheeky bid, who knows? Will be delighted if we somehow get him

Great analysis! I suppose you are right about Bakambu but I was hoping we could do a 'Janssen' style bid on Dolberg as he is getting little game time and his goals have dried up. When you are 8th in the biggest league in the world, you need to track these types of players rather than your Hoopers and Mitrovics!

Exactly. It's not as if you could get an attacking midfielder either for that price. Cough.... Pascal Gross

That we bought from a German second division side with financial problems. Oh and he's not a striker!!

Griffiths is currently valued at £2.5million on Transfermarkt

The same site that values Dunk, Stephens and Duffy at €5m and Hemed at €2.5 even though we turned down £4m in the summer.

The_Viper said:
Oh and the idea you don't get a striker for 2-3m from the third division is a load of bollocks too. Omar Bogle cost 700k, Callum Wilson was 3 million, Vardy 1 million. That is just thinking of the first few that came to my head.

See Edna's post. Also what clubs did those 3 sign from?

If you honestly think Celtic would sell one of their star players for £2-3m then can you please save me some of your drugs. They wanted £40m for Dembele in the summer!

West Upper Seagull · Nov 11, 2017

Ings would have been my natural choice but i’m not even convinced about him anymore because you have to ask yourself, when did he last play a competitive first team match ? If we signed him in January i think it would take months to get him up to speed and therefore no good to us. I reluctantly chose Hooper purely because he would complement GM &TH better and has more pace and knows where the net is.

1. I have never been on the site in my life, I simply took the sum from the link listed and said that would be a steal. You seem to agree.

2. I don't care about where they went, or what they did in the Championship or beyond. You stated that 2-3 million pounds cannot buy a League 1 striker. Those 3 strikers were bought from League 1.

Honestly, you come across so obnoxious that is the only reason I am responding, just calm your passions and have a little more civility when discussing football and you'd probably have a happier time of it.

Whoa Trigger! Caveat here.........on a half season loan, if Liverpool weren't asking for an enormous loan fee, and were maybe covering some of his wages, Ings would be worth a punt. Buy, no............but review come the summer. If not convinced, send him back; nothing lost.

As above. Think loan, nothing to lose, not buy. If loan not available, then yes, fine, just move on.

No. Damn sure they won't! Loan or nothing. If he comes good, TB might be happy to meet a higher price - but just take a loan first, if possible; if no loan, move on.

BensGrandad · Nov 11, 2017

I would think the recruitment team are looking at somebody who offers as much as Ings but in more games if we are going to spend money on either a purchase or loan fee.

But we are talking about buying strikers from clubs at our level or above. In the case of LG one that play in the champions league every season. I'm sure we could go back to Stansted and offer a set of kick for a player. Doesn't mean said player would be good enough to play at the top level.

Where have I been obnoxious? Just pointed out that your valuation of Griffiths is miles off the mark. Perhaps you might want to think about heeding your own advice.

Napier's Knee · Nov 12, 2017

i would reckon that whoever he is has been signed already and that when he is announced early in January we'll all be saying "Who?". Then for his first three games he'll be decounced as cack before being recognised as our new saviour.

HastingsSeagull · Nov 12, 2017

Sadly yes though think we can do better
Hell no!
Only on a free
Only dirt cheap
Hell yes sign me up, worth a gamble

Blue Valkyrie · Nov 12, 2017

The lack of any news about a new contract for Hemed - and that might be because Tomer has his own plans - makes me think Tomer out and Leo in is a real possibility ( 50/50 ish ).

We'll still need another striker as well ( possibly taking Skalak's place in the 25 ) and it won't be 'The Thumb' or any of the others mentioned in the article.

DavidinSouthampton · Nov 12, 2017

We all know the time is right for Chris O'Grady

1. That is the article this topic is about.
2. Moving the goalposts. Boring.
3. Your total lack of self awareness speaks volumes friend. Have a good rest of your weekend.

You mean after 5 - 10 minutes as sub in each of his first 3 games ( when we are playing defensively ).

Shins · Nov 12, 2017

None. Griffiths would need a 4-4-2 system given how defensively we play. Mitrovic is similar to what we have. Gary Hooper (see Griffiths) and no better than Baldock, Ulloa (see Mitrovic), Ings (See Giffiths) and also given how many games he's played in the last 2 years it would be a big risk.

I could see us potentially interested in Mitrovic or Ulloa if Hemed left.
