For NUFC he has made the following appearances season 1: 26 season 2: 18 season 3: 31 (but he was alternated with Isak a lot) id read he was travelling back to Bournemouth for his family every week in a car but they sorted that out so I thought that would have helped his injury record. we definitely need a third striker or at least someone that can comfortably play across the front 3.

Ideally we need Wilson as a 3rd choice impact forward, so I agree we need another quality forward in. Just dunno who. Toney would be ideal. But having him and Tonali together might not be a good idea 🤭 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4376 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I think Eddie was asked at the start of the season on the danger of going into the season with only two strikers and his reply suggested that the prices for strikers were at a premium. I inferred from this that we'll spend big on a new striker when other postions are strengthened - I hope next summer at the latest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't play with a number 10, so I get why we passed on Maddison. Alvarez and JWP at West Ham would have fit in nicely though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10838 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 The injuries to Barnes and Anderson are unpredictable, and Barnes could have eased the strain on Wilson and Isak. Anderson could have played on the left allowing Gordon or Barnes to play centrally. I don't think we got the recruitment wrong necessarily, I just think we've been incredibly unlucky with injuries this season. Maybe recall Minteh, or sign some journeyman striker on a short term deal (Like we did with Wood) and the pressure is eased on both of them. Sign a young 3rd choice striker who can get minutes in the cups and from the bench to preserve Wilson and Isak, then hopefully move Wilson to 3rd choice and the young kid to 2nd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17239 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 We were linked with Ektike and his twat agent for what?…. Half a morning 2 deadline days ago? It’s hardly Loic Remy getting Newcastle to pay for his flight then signing for Queens Park fuckin Rangers then subsequently having to bring him in on loan is it? It’s probably just paper talk anyway inspired by the aforementioned agent but there’s no real reason to be over negative if he was to wash up here… young and obviously talented, if Howe likes him and thinks he can get something out if him that’s good enough for me. Think Dave mentioned bringing in an older striker too, good shout, what’s Falcao/Dzjeko/Cavani etc up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
