get a striker you inept clowns

How many seasons now have we been saying this inept doesn't even cover it

 

[billyblue80]

Only positive of this is the club HAVE to act and bring in a striker now. Still wouldn't trust them to but they have to

DCL going for a scan in London according to the Bobble not good

I don't doubt Bobble's info but if the injury is pretty bad and happened yesterday it's strange no other journalist has the story.

Sylvain Ebanks-Blake not currently at a club. Played for Wolves about 10 years ago so will be well known to our recruitment team.

Premier league experience too so there's that box ticked

Mate he is injured and out for a long time.

i think the board get of on it

I was highlighting the leaking which now inflates any price we want to pay for a striker in the next few days .

I mentioned that earlier, every club now knows we are desperate.

I AM HEARING DCL HAS GOT A SHOOT ON SATURDAY WITH DONATELLO

He’s not a journalist either .

Little snippet on the end here that West Ham are tracking Brereton Diaz, surely that's one we could be looking at, seems like a more suitable replacement than a winger who can play forward like Cornet. Sort of one we could look at acting quickly on.

West Ham face competition from Everton and Newcastle to sign Cornet

West Ham are close to agreeing a deal to sign Maxwel Cornet, but they face competition for the Burnley forward from Everton, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest

Without wishing to take the club's side, and incur the inevitable opprobrium that will follow, the DCL situation is why all possible targets aren't acquired early. There needs to a a pot of unspent money, although pencilled in for player X or Y, a which is still available till the last minute, to be redirected toward filling in for a late, pre-season injury to a key player. Maybe now we won't be looking to buy a backup striker, but someone who can do the job reasonably for half a, season, even if it means utilising cash that had been intended for an extra midfielder, for example.

 

[TheBigIguana]

No he didn't. He was consistently poor.

He was on pace for a ten assist season. That's very solid by Everton standards the last decade.

 

[BenToffee79]

It would have got out anyway

Just as well hey, good boost for Chelsea too I’d say, £2 a podcast is it ?

I said the other day it seemed to me when it came to strikers we probably have registered our interest in Broja and are now playing the waiting game while Chelsea decide on their options. It's not necessarily a sign of sloppy or incompetent business to have not concluded all our transfers with a month to go, it can simply be a case of patience waiting to land the number one target. With the news of DCL though we obviously need to put a bit more pressure on Chelsea or move on to alternatives.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Personally think given our financial situation and the fact the DCL ended last season healthy it is perfectly understandable that we didn't rush out to buy a striker. Yes I'd prefer if Rondon wasn't the backup but it is one of those times you have to lie in the bed you made and he was going to be in the squad this year.
