I would be amazed if we are still after Cabral. Our strategy is far more aggressive now than before. It appears we made an offer, his club agreed he said no. We then went back with another offer to Cabral (no doubt with encouragement from 1 or 2 of his 5 agents) and he is waiting for a better offer.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Kompany doesn't think that we need a striker because he feels that Brownhill will provide the goals needed according to his after match comments in The Football Paper this weekend. Quote "To win games you have got to create chances . I think we have goals in the team, but it will happen from players understanding each other better.' Kompany backed midfielder Josh Brownhill to find the net on a regular basis this season. "I think Josh will get a lot of goals this season, he is threatening" added Kompany.
By using terms like "on a regular basis" and "a lot of goals this season" he cannot be talking about 5 or 6. Kompany would have to be talking 15 or 20.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I'd like to think we're after a striker, but as time goes on, I doubt whether we will land one. Yes I know Kompany isn't going to come out and reek of desperation, but the one thing everyone says about his interviews is how honest he is. When he downplays the need for one, I don't think he's doing that dishonestly. There's also the fact he regularly mentions the need for goals to come from a variety of players in the team, and that he's said he's never had a genuine goal scorer in his side before.
I think he'd certainly have one if he could get one of the prime targets, but I really can see us making do and asking the players behind the striker to step up. That's fine as a principle, but it will require our midfield players (Brownhill aside) to start looking a lot more threatening and likely in front of goal.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
We need another forward purely because we need the options. Barnes up top on his own doesn't work very well, especially not over a season and Jay is likely to struggle to get a prolonged run if his injury record is anything to go by.
Do we need a 20 goal man though? Probably not.

If you look at the teams who get promoted each year, most will have a striker with 20+.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Factually that may be correct but if our top scorer gets 19 goals then the rest of the side will need to chip in with more than 50 goals, maybe pushing towards 60 if we play an attacking and at times risky gameplan which leaves us open at the back.quoonbeatz wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 5:17 pmWe need another forward purely because we need the options.

Most promoted sides at this level score in excess of 70 goals to finish in the top two or have an excellent goals against column.
This mythical goalscorer is the one capable of winning games against the odds (Andre Gray at Bolton and Birmingham), without them tight games finish in draws and then there are loads of ifs, buts and maybes.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
If we continue with Barnes up front we are not serious about promotion. OK saying that the goals will come from a variety of players-but who. Think we have more chance now that Jay is fit, but for how long with his hamstrings and niggles .Josh Brownhill will get a few but hes not a natural goal scorer.Whats he going to get -up to 9 or 10. Who else is there-I doubt Cullen or Cork will score regularly, and have not seen enough of Benson , Vithino or Tella to see if they are likely to get in where it hurts-ie at the end of crosses or one twos. Would like to think our scouting/recruitment which has reached an unbelievable standard in a short period is on this, and can generate a goal scorer soon. Otherwise the story of our season will be high possession, large numbers of goal attempts, but precious little in terms of goals

The only attacking midfielders I can recall hitting those numbers in recent seasons are Gerrard and Lampard, who got a fair amount of their goals from free kicks and penalties.
And a few of the megabucks City team might have bagged those sort of tallies, but City are a total one-off in how they set up and play the game, however even they have beefed up their attacking options by signing a true number 9.
If Brownhill gets 8-10 I'll that consider a good return by him, I understand the philosophy of spreading goals throughout the team, but right now I'm struggling to see who's going to hit double figures, and that includes our present strikers.

Possession is one thing, but it's making that possession tell where it really matters that's our achilles heel presently, as it was in many games last season to cost us vital points ultimately.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
My point is, who have we been linked with who sounds likely to bag 20? A proven 20+ striker at this level is likely more than we can afford so we're more likely to be taking a punt on someone unproven. The Ukrainian lad looks about the best I've seen from the old highlights reels but he's a gamble at the price.Goody1975 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 5:56 pmFactually that may be correct but if our top scorer gets 19 goals then the rest of the side will need to chip in with more than 50 goals, maybe pushing towards 60 if we play an attacking and at times risky gameplan which leaves us open at the back.

Better to aim to try and get goals from all over the park in our situation rather than stick all our eggs in one basket. No doubt we do need another forward though.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
The point I am making about Gray is the importance of a goal scorer. The challenge for the club is an acceptance we need one, the second challenge is finding that player at a price we are prepared to play. At the moment what I am hearing on this Board and by VK is that we don't need one.I am not paid thousands to recruit the right players for our club, but a few weeks ago Lukas Joao of Reading was being targetted by another cliub at a cost below £4m. This guy has scored 38 goals in 80 games in a very struggling Reading side. I am sure Reading could do with the money right now.The players are out there-we just need to be smart and stop using excuses

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
It doesn't sound like Kompany thinks we need another striker given what he
has said recently. Maybe he's hoping we'll do a Man City (from last season)
when they won the league without an out and out striker albeit they've now
gone out and got one.
It'll be interesting to see how we get on with our current crop and whether
we can get the goals we will need to win games.
We would need 3 or 4 players to hit double figures and at present that seems
difficult to see but it's early days yet. We're creating chances which is the good news.
I suspect he'll see where we get to before the break for the World Cup
and then his hand may be forced if we're struggling to win enough games.
But then it may well be difficult to acquire someone who can put the
ball in the back of the net on a regular basis.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I think the suggestion is assess how we do, between now and the World Cup and if it looks as though we need a striker, target one in January.
My view is that we don’t need to wait to see if we need one. We do need one, and in this window.
