DJ Barry Hammond Posted 24 August Share Posted 24 August (edited) Much more likely he’s joining Fulham I’d say - he’d suit them too. Edited 24 August by DJ Barry Hammond 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we moved from collecting goalkeepers to collecting defenders, then collecting defensive midfielders and now we are collecting wingers. Eventually we will get to collecting 10s and strikers, just unfortunately not this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 24 August Share Posted 24 August I don't understand this "collecting wingers" narrative. We have two. BDR maybe was at one point but he's not got the pace or skill to be a winger at this level anymore, backup winger, maybe but that's it. Same goes for Mcateer and like them Buonanotte is better at CAM. Ayew is another who could do a job there but the truth of it is Fatawu and Mavididi are the only two natural wingers we have. That's why I was surprised about the link with the Moroccan lad, I think we need a winger and a striker more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Bobby was signed as a winger, and has started both our first 2 games. ….on the wing Ayew played as a winger regularly for palace last season. Look at his goals record, if we signed him as a striker, that’s even more worrying. Kasey is a winger. That’s where he plays. We aren’t just collecting players, we are actively signing players that are bang average at best. It wouldn’t be so bad if they were young with potential to improve, but they’re not. Literally 30+ bang average at best players on big wages. One cost us 8m. We are literally a joke of a club, it’s disgusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayew BDR like i said, they can both do a job there but they are both getting on, losing pace and neither are out and out wingers. Both would work far better in central positions whilst covering the wing We need pace, especially if we are going to be pinned back and need to counter.

benpicko Posted 25 August Share Posted 25 August Of course we need a winger who can consistently score 10+ goals a season in a decent league, not sure what half the comments here are on about -- we lack any kind of attacking threat and it's not like we're tripping over ourselves for decent wingers either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Ayew last season… Palace used him as mainly as winger that season and season before he was predominantly RW He is still crap though. Palace must laughing they doubled their money on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace must laughing they doubled their money on him Being used as a winger and being an out and out wingers are two different things. That is my point. We used Perez on the right, doesn't mean he was a winger. We should use Ayew where Perez should have played... in the Okazaki role but only when absolutely necessary.

JimJams Posted 25 August Share Posted 25 August And yet Bergwijn only scored 8 goals (9assts) in 83 appearances for Spurs. A better team than Palace. Near identical stats really. Around a goal and an assist every 10 games. If Ayew is shit from a statistical standpoint, so is Bergwijn. But he'll cost about 3-4x as much. Maybe more.

FosseSpark Posted 28 August Share Posted 28 August We must know we are selling multiple players. Soumare being one at circa £10-£15m. Iversen or Ward for £5m. Cannon for £5m. By the time that's done our net spend will be tolerable for a promoted side ie £30 odd million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 28 August Share Posted 28 August Simply not required. We need an out and out striker. We have ample wide attacking / winger options now. Particularly when / if the Moroccan also joins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingpower Posted 28 August Share Posted 28 August (edited) I can only assume this is as well as an out and out goal scorer and on the basis we can clear a few out first…regardless of the fact he doesn’t exactly seem keen to join (if true) Edited 28 August by kingpower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
