Why would we want another forward, unless Vydra is off

Not read through all the threads so sorry if this has been mentioned but today's daily mail says we have asked about
Dundee utd striker Lawrence Shankland, nope I've not heard of him either!
Seems to know where the onion bag is, at a lower level of course. 107 goals in 167 games. 25 years old.

Indeed, but I can't help thinking that if Vydra was playing for Dundee at that level he'd probably have 167 in 167 (or better!), so we may well be much better with what we have. It's just so difficult to judge how good people really are when the gulf in standards is so vast.

Jesus Christ man. Sad times for our supporters? We’ve just lost two games. Get a grip you drama queen.
It runs obviously deeper than results for people if you opened your eyes, people are generally fed up from top to bottom about things, admittedly covid hasn't helped as well with people's mental health & enthusiasm towards the game.

Isn't Vydra into his final year now? Makes sense to get 6 or 7 million for him if we can given that Barnes will no doubt walk straight back into the team and Vydra will be back to 4th choice.

Last year, but we have an option to extend for another 12 months.

Add it to the dry powder store. Or put it towards a right sided midfielder.

Shankland has been prolific at all the levels he's played at, and the one thing he does know is how to finish, he's also only just turned 25 so he'd add an element of youth to our attack, which we lack, I do wonder if bringing him in would mean that Vydra is moving on, because I can't see us carrying 5 strikers, 6 if you include young Thompson, so we'd have to clear the decks before any incomings.

Shankland shouldn't cost the earth, and the Micky Mellon connection might prove helpful if we're genuinely interested, he's a name I've mentioned before on here, even when he was plying his trade in the lower reaches of the Scottish leagues, and we could do a lot worse then snapping him up for a modest fee, don't know what they'd be asking, but my guess is £2-3 million would be enough to prick their ears, and we could always put add-on's/sell on clauses into any deal to sweeten it.

I wouldn't want to lose Vydra, especially if it the intention to bring in a midfield playmaker like Christie.

Vydra makes some wonderful runs that most of the time aren't seen by the present midfielders. Maybe someone like Christie would do? After all, he has a marvellous 'Assists' record.

Go on, how did we attack down the right hand side with Hendrick in the team?

Everything came down our left last season, the one where we finished on 54 points btw.
And if our left doesn't preform as well? Or if teams have learnt that is where we only have a threat?

Expectations must really be at an all time low if we don't think we need to bother with a RM because our Centre mid (who is no longer here) filled in that position.

Agree completely, Vydra offers something different from our strikers, if anything I’d like to see a further contract offer being tabled.

Yes, new contract ASAP.

Can't see us letting him go anyway as we are already short of bodies. We need at least a couple in, and none out.

I'm not saying that every player who isn't snapped up by a PL side isn't good enough, I am saying that the reason that we haven't gone in for Eliasson is quite possibly because we don't think that he's good enough. And the lack of interest from other PL sides and the reported transfer fee of just £2m suggests that could well be the case.

We should be all over that for £2.2m. Just as a great crosser, would be worth it if he stuck a few on Woodys head per year. Plus could be used as a makeweight in deals infuture if it doesn’t work out. Seems a no brainer to me!

True, but we do have a certain style that would suit his crossing game (two big men up top). Wouldn’t surprise me to see others less interested but I’m disappointed we’re not.

Might get shot down but always liked Matt Philips at West Brom, 29 bags of experience. Not first choice for them. His stats last season albiet in the championship were very good. Jed Wallace from Millwall, good age and bags of talent.
Dyche siad hes not keen on a loan, but lot's of clubs need to offload players Everton, Chelsea etc.

Maybe, I've honestly not seen anywhere near enough of him to say either way. But from what I've read BC had to adapt their formation last season to accommodate him, and this season he's been playing out of position at left wing back. I'm not writing him off by any means, I just think that PL scouting teams would be all over him at £2m if they thought he could cut it at the top level.

Macauley Bonne been signed by QPR from Charlton could that mean Osayi-Samuel is on the move?

That would be so Burnley.

And we'd be rightly slated for it.

I understand your point, but given our lack of numbers I would say that 2.5 million on him, given his stats, is far less of a gamble (especially financially) than spending 16 million on Wilson.

Lawrence Shankland sounds like he could have played for us ~100 years ago, along with Jimmy Dunne and Bobby Thomas.

Less of a gamble from a financial point of view, but I can only surmise that the professionals thought that Wilson could do the job and Eliasson couldn't. The respective transfer values suggests there could well be a disparity in quality also.

Covid has affected a lot of companies and clubs, and we have seen some of the measures taken by companies to trim staff levels.

If the club is therfore so skint, why are we not making redundancies in the RECRUITMENT team which now seems quite sizeable in terms of people and salaries. Can we even justify it based on results. Its been running for 2 years and we have in terms of first team Pieters, Jay Rod, Hart, Brownhill and Stephens to show for it. I believe Jay Rod was on the cards for several years anyway and Brownhill was being tracked for some time too, and we know Stephens nearly signed for us 4 years ago. Lets face it based on this window and our finances we are unlikely to be pulling in new players for quite a while. Plus our recruitment from abroad is abysmal. Is Mr Garlick pleased with what has been achieved by this team. It seems that SD spends the majority of his press talks back-pedalling on recruitment of player questions, when he should be focused on the next game

I wouldn't call Pieters, Stephens or Hart first team, they are more like squad player's, back up player's to the first team, so in two year's we have brought in 2 regular first team player's J Rod ( could be classed back up cover) and Brownhill who will be a first team starter each week, so in reality they have found one regular first team player in two years...........POOR

I have it good authority that the club is working extremely hard on bringing in the right type of players to improve the quality of the first team,but it's really hard finding them for a £1😂

Perhaps it's time to replace our recruitment team who have failed miserably to attract and sign first team ready players.
It's also time for Mike Mike Garlick to produce a statement of intent as to how he sees us progressing without new blood in the squad

Am I alone in thinking that things will look a lot more positive by Tuesday morning?

It may just be the afternoon drinking having an effect....

I think it's going to be more likely a week on Thursday (15th) when the window closes for signing players from the Championship.

I suspect we are going to try and Sign Osayi Samuel now.

QPR are signing Adomah (plays in BOS position)

I think so, yeah. And even that won't guarantee a player. I think it's more likely we're banking on JBG to return quickly and use Brownhill/Pieters there in the meantime.

I'll be surprised if we bring in anybody.

It's unlikely to be anything significant then.

Were relying on Jbg and brady who can't string 2 games together between them for a premier league outfit then its a poor do . There injury records are abysmal and ro hope they stay fit to carry us through is asking a bit to much
