New striker incoming

bfccrazy · Post by **bfccrazy** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 5:16 pm

Just heard about a replacement lined up and supposedly nearly done a bit jnder the radar which I feel could be a great addition and be a big upgrade.

Can't say who it is yet but we could be in for a very nice treat if this is genuine info (it usually is spot on info).

More likely to be done before WBA though than Chelsea but it's a possibility of trying to push it through early.

Brown or red?

turfytopper · Post by **turfytopper** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 5:18 pm

we'll only need one striker at Chelsea

fidelcastro · Post by **fidelcastro** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 5:20 pm

Why can't you say who it is?

Even if you did know, it wouldn't be giving away your source, would it?

I suspect you've no more idea than any of us.

I actually wouldnt mind sticking with 1 "striker" and having Walters in the hole... Downside being that teams would know that we couldnt mix up how we play much.

He's proven in the past he has inside info.

Because I've been told to not mention any names specifically. I've never given my source away on here and nobody has bothered about it really cos' it's genuine info.

Because he has probably given his word that he will not tell.

If this isn't the ultimate hedging your bets thread, I don't know what is.

Shane Long would be my guess.

All Rhodes lead to Burnley.

Let's hope you're right.

There's no point revealing who it could be as journalists will be all over this site today looking for stories. It would be out in no time.
Plus the fact you could be given genuine info but the deal break down and people give you stick.

Anyway, forget all that rubbish.

More importantly, what's the team for Saturday?

fingers crossed you are correct, hopefully we can all agree with you that he (assuming it's a he) will be a big upgrade

If this is true then whomever it may be I can only hope

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 5:26 pm

I think any of us could have posted this.

We lose one of best players for a big fee and someone predicts we'll probably sign a replacement within the next 10 days.

The downside being that we'd have a Premier League strike force of Vokes, Walters, Barnes and Agyei.

Difference is he has more credibility because he has shown in the past that he has inside information.

I cant be bothered going back and looking but if you want to troll back through half of the threads I started last season you'll realise why I won't share a source.

We have probably done this already but the TOP 7 clubs must have plenty of decent talent not in the first XI squad and aching to play Premier League football - lean, mean, young and hungry types..

Maybe we could get 2 or 3 of these in on loan...we could afford to push the boat out a bit in terms of what we pay them, and if we like them we can make a bid, and if we don't they just go back...we are pretty well in aren't we with MUFC, MCFC, Everton and Liverpool aren't we...Tottenham..?

Do you think SD will have thought of this one..? - I think he probably has..

Sorry I don't have any names for you...I will let the 3568 proper football experts on here do that bit,

This is the way to go trust me..

- Top End loans...for now anyway with Chelsea coming up fast.

Yes, let's not have any such discussion on a messageboard that's intended for such discussion.

We already have the replacement. Walters. Like when Iwelumo replaced Fletcher even though he wasnt meant to be the replacement!
