Are we going to end up with a pop gun attack?

[davek]

Agreed but we also have a pace and creativity problem = I,d drop one of the DM,s put Tom Davis in, add a top top striker and then try and slap down a massive loan fee on a creative player.

We need someone to get on the ball and drive from midfield.....

 

[davek]

Called it right so far. Mystic meg.

...and I sincerely hope it is just so far too mate.

Imagine going into the season after August with no recognised attacker who can also give us an aerial threat? It doesn't bear thinking about.

If Giroud wont come, go for Benteke.

 

[COYBL25]

...and your thoughts on the attack we have?

Unbalanced and ineffective.

Hopefully not going to be our permanent attacking line up x

 

[Woolly Blue]

So anyway that's what a pop gun attack looks like.

Haha

Fair play to you, until Sandro came on we were ineffective up front. It's early days for him, but what I saw tonight was promising. Get a recognised striker in and we'll be fine though.

My concern is that £50M is going to be mugged off us by Swansea and then we're down to not much more cash to throw at bringing a top striker in.

This Sigurdsson pursuit is ridiculous. Just forget him and go all out for Giroud/Benteke and get another CB in or Williams on his own will sink us.

Looked more like 11 unfit players to me. Anyhow, it's still only 4 weeks into pre season and a month until the window shuts, pretty sure we will get your striker.

 

[bignev23]

A LB got a scruffy goal mate. This thread is about our attack....which was pitiful.

Proper attacker required Everton.

NOW.

I'm unperturbed at the moment, it's very early days with what we already have here but of course it'd be nice to get some proper reinforcements in. I agree about Benteke as well.

Looks like he's binned us off though sadly. Shame really, I think he would fit nicely into this team.

There'll be money for both Siggy and a striker. I doubt we'll be spending big on another centre half though.

...we probably will. How much will be paid for him though?

I cant see loads spent after Sigurdsson is brought in.

It wont be a great quality signing like Giroud, imo.

Had no opinion on this thread until I seen what koeman play with in a real game. Now I've had a glimpse it looks weak.

Agree with the players mentioned. That gabbiadini who we were linked with all last season and went to Southampton would of been perfect. Missed a trick with that one.

Knew this was coming when I watched the "highlights".

 

[Moomin]

against a team that has already played two round of games?

get a grip

Exactly mate, Real Madrid would have struggled against the Slovak Galiticos

 

[davek]

I wonder if Walsh can can do what he was brought in for and sort a player with talent out for less than a kings ransom?

That'd be nice.

If it was up to me I would like to see Alessane Plea. He's a beast. If you heard about expected goals (xG) his numbers from season 2016/17:

Open Play per 90 min - 0.58 xG + 0.12 xA - it's just *removed expletive* amazing

Second choice Jovetic, I have no idea why sevilla didn't buy him out for 14M if I remeber correctly:

Open Play per 90 min - 0.39 xG + 0.20 xA

If we talk about PL, I think Afobe is very underrated one:

Open Play per 90 min - 0.44 xG + 0.08 xA

By the way Lukaku Open Play per 90 min 0.37 xG + 0.15 xA

Is it so hard to express yourself without profanity?

I mean we are a fan run site, who pay out of pocket to keep the lights on (donations are greatly appreciated guys...thanks for all you do for the place) but more than ever we are reliant on ad revenue. Which gets directly effected by said profanity! We are indexed constantly by google, so we need to keep the language so we can keep getting our pennies which go to paying the bill for this place!
