WHO REPLACES ZOHORE?

Thu Jul 18, 2019 8:23 pm

Hopefully not madine
But a young hungry player from abroad who wants to make a name for himself, and lets spend something on quality, at the moment we seem very reserved.

Samatta apparently in the running.

No one imo unless something comes up late on

Reid will be number one striker this season and I can see tomlin playing in the hole

I’m more concerned about centre midfield than up front tbh

We have bacuna vaulks and ralls that’s it we need minimum of 2 more in those positions

We may not have the best strikers in the world but we have 4 still after offloading two

Ward
Boyle
Madine
That Irish lad forgot his name

Personally as I said if tomlin is playing to well not to start Bobby will play up top with tomlin in behind and Patto on the bench to replace either of them and a striking option still as well

If the money is there then of course I’d love a striker but I think money needs to be spent in midfield first few injuries and we are fucked in midfield

Players I would like us to be looking at are Maupay, Gayle, Samatta and Abel Hernandez.

I think Gayle and Hernandez are probably out of our price range, maybe Maupay too. I wouldn't be surprised if we were looking abroad because prices in English football are highly inflated.

No need to ask Mr Tan for money on this one - Use it to buy whoever....

None of those strikers are good enough and I include Reid in that if he is played upfront in our system, he will be totally lost.

Need a minim of 2 strikers in my opinion.

I agree I’d like a good forward but people have short memories we got promoted with Paterson up front

We got promoted malky time with top scorer of 8 or 9 goals who again wasn’t a striker

As I’ve said I’m more concerned about having 3 players who can play between Dm/Cm and two of those most people do not rate that highly championship you need a minimum of 5 players that can play in those two positions to cover injuries and suspension just about personally I feel 5 and a fringe or younger player is needed to be absolutely sure

We may not have good enough strikers but we at least have strikers we don’t have anywhere near enough midfields and it’s a massive concern for me

I want two Cm in before we even think about a striker cos if that midfield 3 ain’t working we won’t be anywhere near the top end of the league

Paterson never played upfront for us in the championship as far as I'm aware, often just as number 10 off a striker.

We need a striker and a midfielder as a priority not getting either would be a disaster. We won't be going up without them 2 potions being sorted and we still probably need more.

Was the prem he played up top smackerz.

You've left him of your midfielder list too .

Who replaces Zahore?
The same players who replaced him last season would be my guess. I'd have put anyone willing to head the ball up top before Zahore.
On his day he was great but lets face it...he was not on his day very often.
May have been injuries and may have been lack of confidence but no one can dispute the fact that his performances were pretty poor in general.

Who looked decent upfront last season then?

As far as I can remember the service was awful and everyone struggled upfront. Niasse probably fitted and got the team playing as well as they could and he never looked like scoring and won't be here.

No one particularly. That wasnt the question in the topic. I was answering my own take regarding the topic.

I wouldnt mind that and putting bodies in the midfield as we struggle every game with the battle in the middle of the park.
I'm still hoping for 3 at the back but cant see that happening.
I think Gunnar will be a huge loss for us. His mopping up in front of the back 4 was so crucial.
I know he missed quite a few games through injury last season but when he did play he was excellent there.

I thought he was realesaed but perhaps I’m wrong

However he never featured under warnock last championship campaign don’t see that changing guess he could be the number 6 fringe player needed for injuries and suspensions then but we still need two more for Dom/Cm positions

He's not a striker either but he's far more likely to play in the middle this season

He's on the American tour.

Made 29 appearance for us and most of them in the championship.

We look desperately short in centre midfield.
Although we usually by pass them, didn't we get promoted on 35% possession.

I think we will get another 2 players before Wigan.
