Mello Yello 2,294 Posted January 2, 2022 35 minutes ago, ged in the onion bag said: What a terrible week for the club, results and performances awful, fans despicable and this forum has had a shocker…. Now there are calls for El Ghazi! Dear oh dear, what on earth are people on. The wife is a Villa fan, we watch them regularly and call him El Khazi! Honestly, apart from the odd moment of brilliance he is generally awful and extremely inconsistent… he is definitely not what we need right now. Do your due diligence if you’re going to suggest someone! Also, he plays as a wide forward, on the evidence so far, how do you propose we get the ball to him… we’ve struggled all season to find Rashica, Tzolis and Cantwell. 2 x CDMs is what we need! He'd currently fit in well with our stumbling squad then...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommo 51 Posted January 2, 2022 Giorgios Masouras , a player previously linked to us https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/03/21/report-norwich-city-want-to-sign-olympiakos-ace-georgias-masoura/?amp now with Tzolis and Giannoulis, could this be a player we make a move again for ?

We can either go big at the risk of still getting relegated or accept defeat and play our youth and strengthen the squad for the champs. There's no in between Well you know which one it will be.

Sadly I have not seen anything, apart from apparently Cantwell is off to Liverpool, and the lad from Bradford coming. Strange we have not seen the lads from Bolton or Peterborough around the first team squad yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That should easily be enough to buy some actual PL quality imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,659 Posted January 2, 2022 No idea who our targets might be - but getting the 10-12 injured/ill players back would be a start. Imo we have shown under DS that we could do ok if he has his full squad to select from, but as ever more up front and in m/f would do no harm at all. The main annoyance with our Summer window is that we needed to get guys who were able to hit the ground running and impact this season and we don’t appear to have succeeded. We were told it would be quality over quantity, but it then felt we then signed as many as we usually do, and few have had the impact we were looking for.

Iwans Big Toe 312 Posted January 2, 2022 3 hours ago, cambridgeshire canary said: Any rumours of sales or buys yet then? Elliot Watt apparently. Scottish U21 midfielder, who's played a handful of games for Bradford City in League 2. Just what we need to guarantee Premier League survival. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommo 51 Posted January 8, 2022 I would take a punt on Benik Afobe. Yes currently on loan at Millwall from Stoke but a player who did interest us before, had lost his way a little bit but worth a punt. We clearly can’t afford championship players who are at the top end of the goalscoring charts so as ever it’s taking a view on a player but surely would be a better option than Hugill or Idah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
