Hypothetical scenario

Wed Mar 10, 2021 5:43 pm

What if we signed Kiefer Moore (the player he is now) in the January of our premier league season.

Would we have stayed up?

I think it would’ve been a strong possibility

I think we have signed Moore just about at the peak of his potential, when he is playing his best football.

Who knows, but he's a better player now than he was two years ago

Good question

I'm going to say no, but then I don't think Sala (RIP) would have either.

That's not to say that neither would have or could have given us an extra chance but I don't think Moores profile and career at this point suggest he's got what it takes to be a Premier League striker that's going to keep you up.

If we go up this season I'd want us to invest in proven striker at that level, something we havnt done on both are last two forays into the EPL.

I do appreciate though that the above is easier said than done.

Agree with this.

The other big problem we'd have to fix is our midfield.

It does alright in the Championship but nowhere near good enough for Premier League survival - as was proven in our last PL season (it was mostly the same midfield).

About 18 months before someone valued Sala at 15 million - he was valued at 1 million. I dont know of any other that has happened to

Yes we weren't far away without him, our premier league seasons have been littered with bad luck and bad decisions, it's hard for the promoted teams everything is stacked against them, but Sheffield United last season showed that it is possible to stay up, even if it's only for a season!

Much like the word fickle people aren’t sure of the meaning of the word hypothetical

I always wish he was Welsh. Imagine what he could do for us. England are spoiled for strikers

Outstanding goalscorer. Starting to struggle now as he loses his pace a bit, but has got to be one of the best signings a club has ever made.

At his peak, would score goals for any team and only needed one chance.

I think that’s a great shout about best signing ever.
