Transfer Rumour Che Adams

Humiliating striking options even with him in the squad. Preparing for the Championship it seems. You'd think the club would be going all out to remain a Premier League side like what with us soon to be moving into a £700m stadium, but I guess not.

I think Maupay just behind a Calvert-Lewin type would work - or an option to come on when chasing a game to support the attack. He's just never a number 9, and not one in this team. I was advocating his signing (age/experience/fee - figured we shouldnt lose money on him) but when I did so, I said loads he wasn't a striker we could play on his own/replacement for Calvert-Lewin. We've done what we do best since Moshiri and set the lad up to fail.

But on Adams - this was me 2nd August;



I don't want Che Adams either.

But we've reached that point now unfortunately. I always expected him or Iheanacho.

I'd much prefer Iheanacho tbh, different gravy to Adams
You're probably right, we need someone that can do something alright *sigh*
He's just a depressing, uninspiring and unimaginative signing
If he signs I hope he proves me very wrong

This has been bandied about all over this thread. Let me ask you a different question then, if Adams isn't going to score the goals but will facilitate others scoring, which of our players are going to score the goals?

Well I can only suggest what I think the club is hoping, weather that proves to be effective is another thing and it's only my opinion. But the club looks to have brought in Danjuma and Jack Harrison who both have a scoring record, they also have McNeil and have an interest in Gnonto which suggest goals from wide areas is a focus.

We also have a first choice striker in Dom, now I know hes crocked but alot of energy has gone in to his rehab this year. They haven't done that in the belief he has no way back. They have then invested in a young striker with the hope of development in Chermiti, so that suggests an eye on future development addressed.

Adams is a 2nd choice option off the bench that can lead the line and add goals. Is he a gonna do it on his own? No?? Is he gonna bang in 20 goals? No. But will he lead the line, work hard and contribute in a effective way. I believe so yes.

A top level striker is outside of our budget, everyone wants a top level striker that's why they cost north of 60 million. Money we don't have, we need to be effective in the market and that isn't always exciting.

Would rather blood Katia kouyate through than deal with this dross. It's absolute madness how we just keep signing lesser and lesser players and degrading the squad. Che Adams can swerve it

Are you that anxious to get us relegated ?
We have seen the best of the young lads go on loan to the lower divisions.
The young players that are left are not ready yet to go on loan, never mind play in the premiership.

He's not, he'll be starting every week. He'll be our first choice striker. DCL is broken.
 
This signing will continue to entrench us as a lower half team.

Will continue to force us to sign a new striker every other season.

Will continue to waste money on zero resale value.

Will continue to face goal scoring problems.

Ffs we spent 12m on a Portuguese striker and now we need a replacement for him within 2 weeks?
 
Without looking at the numbers to prove it, im not sure Dyche has ever had a really well scoring striker.

Always seemed he used a striker to get more from his wingers / midfielders, more a focal point / battering ram.

Now, if this can happen then its all good.

Although we do need someone who can take a couple more of those chances that come Maupays way.
