We have to aim higher than that for a striker. I know people will say no decent striker will come here but if you offer the right money they will come, its a case of spending money now or lose 150m when we drop out of the prem.

Shukes Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 We’ve been doing that for years and it’s the reason we’re here now though. Thos come and play for us and we’ll pay you a kings ransom is why players don’t want to leave and are happy to sit on the bench. We have to change that mindset. We need to rebuild. We've gone from step 1,2 and 3 straight to 9 and 10 for years. It doesn’t work. You need to do steps 4 to 8 as well. dunlopp9987, Btay and StevO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msloan78 Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Think we definitely needed to get this one done more quickly given that DCL is likely to be out for a prolonged period of time. Still can't believe the run of luck he's on. RuffRob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fine if we had money to spend but we haven’t so we have to cut our cloth accordingly Che Adams might not be the most exciting signing but if we do get him he walks straight into our first XI because he is better than anything we have on the books at the moment You are comparing apples with oranges when you say Dobbin and Maupay are as good as him, they are completely different types of players. Neither can play the lone striker role and neither can play with their back to goal , Adams can do both which is what we need  Matt, Matt Tiger, Wall Writer and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formby Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 It would be impossible for him to do less than Maupay for us, so that's a cautious positive, but he is a long, long way from being the quality striker we need. Another 15 million down the drain for me.  Palfy and Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 I know this is a needs must signing but it just shows how much we got it wrong with Maupay. Although I think Adams is better than Maupay (not saying a lot) if he doesn’t do a job for us it’s almost 30m spent on strikers with no return. Fingers crossed for him & us here.

Romey 1878 Posted August 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 At least this one will be able to play unlike the other player we spent £15m on this summer who seemingly isn't going to. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harv Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 What would you think is a acceptable return on 15 million in terms of goals scored. In the case of Adams I would be happy with a dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Apparently Southampton only want £5m up front and we're haggling over that...
