Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Nothing to fear if he can't replicate his form from last time he was in the championship.
This has always been his level when it comes to scoring in a real numbers.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Don't know if it's been reported on here but BE saying visa issues for Darko. Couldn't have his medical here on Monday, so taking place tomorrow in Paris.
Presuming it's just a timing thing, and it won't stop us from buying him.

Nixon running a story that VK is happy with his strikers
Nothing really new in the article other than his quotes post match last night saying he doesn’t want to / can’t afford to just store up players
Perhaps the hope is Richardson gets fully fit and can make the step up as an option too?

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
A lot of people have been saying Churlinov will be the striker we need but I must be missing something
From what I’ve read he’s been played mainly as a winger and has scored 5 goals in 48 appearances

It’s Burnley regardless how how good the windows are we are always missing something, it’s usually a winger but this season it’s a striker

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
If Rodriguez stays fit for the entire season, we possibly don't need another striker - but recent history would say that is unlikely I feel. I cannot see Barnes contributing much of anything in the way of goals so I really do feel we need another, if we see Twine as more of an attacking midfielder.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I can’t see us buying another striker. Jay was a machine last night, big, physical with great movement and unlike Barnes had 4 shots. He is a class above this level and the last time he failed to get 20 goals at this level he was a nipper. Like many, he finds goals scarcer in the PL.
But as others say his injury record is a risk but we wouldn’t leave him out if fit (he is far better all round than a 19 year old Delap even if Delap will become a star later). So I bet we are thinking Churlinov and Twine who can both play as a false 9 if needed. Barnes as useful backup.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Unfortunately going off recent history it’s unlikely both Jay Rod and Barnes will be fit for the whole season. Kompany referenced having to manage Jay Rod this season. I’ll be amazed if we don’t bring in another out and out striker.CrosspoolClarets wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 12:11 pmI can’t see us buying another striker.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Ok saying Churlinov (left winger) might be able to ‘fill in’ if necessary at centre forward, but, has he ever played there at a reasonable level and, if yes, what are his CF stats?
Imo, if we don’t sign a strong, fast, direct, ruthless CF in the next few weeks we won’t be in the top 6 at the end of the season.
Just my humble opinion of course...

I really think this team will click soon and just watch us go. Goals breed confidence and a few more names on the sheet and we will be some team.

As Stan would say; a blind man on a galloping horse can see we urgently need another centre forward.

Cannot make my mind up whether VK’s striker comments are a ploy to keep prices down/striker morale up, he genuinely doesn’t want one or we can’t afford one.

Watford’s asset stripping and firesale continues. Looks like Joao Pedro is off to Newcastle and soon Sarr to Palace.
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Barnes and JRod will score plenty in this division but not playing as a lone striker. We need a pair of strikers whoever they might be.

You mean they're selling their crown jewels surely not.
In all seriousness losing Dennis, Pedro and Sarr severely depletes them as a promotion threat, just a pity it didn't happen last week.
You'd assume they'd be eyeing up incomings, but it'll be tough to replace all 3 like for like.

If Churlinov trains Thurs and Fri I’d be tempted to start him in the Bastien role on Saturday. He’s played football this season so will be match fit. Tella wide right.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
might be a lot tougher though if lets say Southampton, Everton and Bournemouth drop. The Championship is very weak this season imho, I've not seen a stand out team yet (granted it's early days). I'd like the owners to see that and put up that little bit extra to get a ready made player, like an O'Hare.ŽižkovClaret wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 4:15 pmWe either sign a proper goal scorer or we settle for a season trying to get the team to gel and finish top 6 at best.

Good point made by Nixon asking there the money is that we where willing to pay for O’Hare, Kompany alluding to funds but surely we have 8-10mil to spend on a striker
