Panathinaikos striker Fotis Ioannidis

[dbtcity]

He’s what we’ve been crying out for for a few years! A really powerful forward who’s able to drop deep and link play whilst also being very good on the ball and a bagsman ….. Gerrrrrrimin

[Vlad the Fox]

Don’t want to disappoint people but it’s a typo, we’ve asked to loan a chap called Nidis.

It's getting tedious reading the same negative rinse and repeat responses to every supposed deal.

Get him in, Zaha in, go 4-2-3-1 with Ioannidis as the CF and Zaha at CAM, Fatawu and Mavididi as the wide players.

 

Stick Ricardo next to Winks.

With the way Cooper has been utilisiing players I'd expect if he were to take this advice, it'd mean he's starting Winks at CB...

I think there is a good chance we see the first bit if the deals come off, except with Mav in CAM and Zaha LW

 

For whatever reason Cooper doesn’t seem to want to use Ricardo next Winks unfortunately

He's an extremely talented player, the sort I expected Sporting or Leverkusen to get.

 

I don't want to get excited as I also thought this of Daka but could pinpoint his flaws that he had wheres Ioannidis has the technical game and goalscoring ability that should get him accustomed to a step up in class.

 

I'll slag the club to all and sundry when I'm u happy but if we snaffle this bagsman then we've done very well.

 

I'm on the Gerry's

Of strikers I’ve followed over the past year, of players that fit the £20-30 million bracket, as I’ve said to you before, Ioannidis would be the number one choice. 
 

It’s understandable that some fans are wary with the league he’s coming from, but it’s his all round ability that impressed me from the get go, and that was before the season he’s just had. 
 

Knowing our luck, he’ll probably end up elsewhere, but at this moment in time, this is the most excited I’ve been since we signed Jermaine Beckford

If not him we need someone in ASAP Percy said Daka could be out for months, suppose not actually a bad thing 😗

Would be amazing to land this player but given recent evidence of how these kind of things turn out wouldn’t be shocked if it’s another load of piss and hot air and we end up signing Weghorst on loan on Friday just in time to play against Spurs. 
 

My scepticism as to how the club have been operating and being linked to players, makes me feel like we are happy to be linked to some of these players, to then miss out but it looks like we are being ambitious and having a go when in truth I am not sure we anything more than a stalking horse enjoying the links to deflect from a fairly deflating summer to date.

Who’s the ball winner/shielding the weak back 4?

 

Wheres the creativity?

 

Mav, Fats and Zaha is too reliant on speed for me..I’d start the Argie boy at 10.

 

If we sign Zaha AND Fotis (which I have my doubts we will be able to pull off) then Zaha takes one of Mav/Fats places.

The way the story has broke, who has broken it, the fact we do genuinely seem to have watched this guy for most of last year and the timing of the rumours feels a bit different.

 

Obviously you never know, another club might see us move and table a rival bid that the player prefers. Could have another Soule situation.

 

But it doesn't feel like that. I'll be surprised if Ioannidis isn't in the squad for, at least, Fulham if not Spurs. I think we'll wrap this up with some urgency unless Panathinaikos feel no need to sell and try and bend us over for the price.

Suddenly it doesn't look so bad, but Cooper won't play this even if Rudkin could get him the players.

Couple of weeks ago I wanted Coady and Okoli but having seen Okoli in pre season he looks like a genuine Plonker. 
 

Coady still hasn’t moved down here either so Sideshow bob and nopace Jannik may be the way forward for now. 

[Cropwellfox]

Hope they’ve got an alternative lined up for when Bournemouth come in and blow us out the water for him 😬🤦‍♂️

Don't get this, Ndidi nowhere near good enough

[HankMarvin]

Seems like a rudkin bid 

 

“Ipswich were reported to have offered just over £21m for him back in June, with Panathinaikos apparently rejecting the bid and demanding at least 30 million euros (£25.7m).”

 

[CosbehFox]

Our bid will be used as a tool for them to get a better bid in
