If we are looking for a striker to bring in on loan we could go for Oumar Niasse from Everton. Plenty of pace and power and knows how to finish. Doesn't look to have a future there and could do a really good job for us. Could be just the type of player we need.

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum.
I think a player returning does not go well second time around. Adobe had his shot and left, we were disappointed yet that was his choice. I think baggage and regret could hamper his performance, after all, he did not progress at Bournemouth.

Everyone wants the 20 goal a season striker, they are not everywhere. We have some real talent coming through, could it be that Finally, this manager and staff, will get the best out of our young talent, especially working along side the star players we have.
I feel this year is going to be special.

I only started going on about Afobe when apparently, we wouldn't pay more than £10m for him but were willing to pay £20m for Andre Gray. I've not been banging on at all that Fosun should spend big money on a striker, though it would make sense, and if they are going to, Afobe makes sense, it's not a risk as although he might not make them money if it didn't work, he couldn't lose them much, even if he dropped in value, there's only maybe at most £5m at stake, to make the most of the rest of the team and for a realistic shot at the Prem. That's all it was, a reaction to £20m for Gray.

We could have done with Neymar!

Fosun can afford him with petty cash change.

But the fair play rules would have been blown

😂.

Ulf mate, I really wouldn’t get so caught up with figures thrown about for players in papers £15m- Afobe, £20m- Gray etc. Its all just numbers plucked out of the sky by journos looking for a headline and with the money we’ve spent this year we are an easy headline! Quite honestly (previous Afobe debate aside;)

I genuinely don’t believe we have made so much as an approach for either player think it’s all just paper talk! Look at our transfer policy with almost EVERY transfer coming from abroad, in fact the ONLY people we’ve bought in from this country have been freebies. I reckon that’ll be because Mendes will be telling Jeff that the best value for money is on the continent.

When you look at some of the prices quoted/ paid for some national players it wouldn’t be far wrong either. Apparently Newc are considering £10m for Ojo…. not sure I’d pay a £10 taxi fare from what we saw on the lad! ;)
