As a long term signing then I hope we stay well clear, but if it’s a 6 month or year contract until we then have Andone, Tau, Gyokeres or Zeqiri upto speed then I guess it makes sense.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal] - *** NEW ONE YEAR DEAL ***

No but apparently that's the plan I believe?

The Swiss lad will score more goals this season than Aaron Connolly will.

To remove accuracy, for sure. The bar is very low but I'm confident Zeqiri will score more goals and probably in fewer games, too.
I hope so, 3 players in double figures gets us close to top 10.
Given the opportunity, I think he may.

I think you may be right also, u21 level is the only level you can really compare them on Andi has 11 in 11 and Connolly 1 in 11... I think we could see Andi a lot more regularly than we think this season, if we don't pick up someone in the next few days he will surely get opportunities.

I think that Zeqiri is THE striker, much like Pascal Gross was THE number 10 when we first got promoted. People assumed it would be Gross plus one other for that position because we weren't going to play 2 up front in the Premier League under Hughton (and Baldock wasn't good enough to play, let alone as a number 10). But in the end, Gross was THE signing for that position.

And will that mean he’s given more to the team in our book and has had a better season?

Not necessarily, I don't mean to belittle Connolly's overall contribution to the team but I do think that he's goal shy and short on a cutting edge in the final third. I think his main asset to the team at the moment is his work rate. That isn't a criticism, as it wasn't of Mackail-Smith either and Connolly has a lot of time on his side. But there are some early warning signs for me and he needs to find a way to be more productive in the final third. He's a good finisher, but we need him to get more shots off.
Now 8/11 with Skybet. The fact that Connolly and Ali J are unavailable for Palace emphasises now desperately short we are.
I don’t care how good a coach Potter is or Bloom is as an owner as none of those capabilities can prevent our only fit striker breaking a leg against Palace.
If we are left relying on an untried Swiss U21 we will be genuine relegation candidates.
Welbeck is a highly experienced additional option how I would take in a heartbeat.

I think we will sign the back-up Striker we need tomorrow.
We’ve seemingly got a choice of 4.
King
Ayew
Deeney
Welbeck
I think we have to get someone in on a free transfer for a 1 or 2 year deal. The bookies clearly think so too.

Deeney is just not an option. I would genuinely rather stick Dunk up front.
Happily take any of the other three, they would all be good additions.
