Baldyboy 1 Posted July 11, 2017 On loan for season to Shrewsbury! Leaves us with just two out and out strikers, surely means Oliveira is staying, but it''s a gamble if we just go with Oliveira and Jerome as recognised strikers for the season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorset Canary 0 Posted July 11, 2017 Yes hopefully that means Nelson is staying.No doubt they see that it''s better for him to be out on loan gaining experience and use Watkins as back up.Or maybe this means... Daryl Murphy??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted July 11, 2017 Joins up with Ebou Adams. Sending our youngsters out in pairs, with Ramsay and Efete at Lincoln and now these two...Less traveling for Neil Adams I suppose, wonder if this is his idea? Told the club it''ll help their development but really he just wants less trudging up and down motorways!Seriously though, good that he''s got another loan. A good year there getting 10-15 goals and he can then try to force his way into the team here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted July 11, 2017 For me, it smacks of us getting another CF in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted July 11, 2017 Maybe this means that we have another striker coming in, unless DF sees Naismith or either Murphy as a different option to Oliveira and Jerome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted July 11, 2017 Watkins can play as a striker.I don''t think Morris going to Shrewsbury means neither Jerome or Nelson will necessarily stay - it means Webber doesn''t think he is ready for Championship football (which is probably true).If someone pops up with bids that meet the club''s valuation of any player, they will be sold. This has been repeated at just about any opportunity Webber or Farke have had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 500 Posted July 12, 2017 I agree with Bethnal, they probably don''t think he''s quite ready yet plus wasn''t he injured most of last season.That still leaves us Jerome, Nelson and Watkins who can play upfront Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted July 12, 2017 ...and if really pressed, there''s Naismith or either Murphy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,359 Posted July 12, 2017 Watkins is more than adequate backup to Jerome and Oliveira as a 3rd option for striker. No point having a 3rd striker here if they aren''t going to play, assuming we continue with one up top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
