[Ccfcisparks]

Wouldn’t want Piroe. Good player in the championship but honking in the Prem

Agreed. Would take him on loan. Need better for the prem.

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Piroe on loan would be perfect

 

[torchomatic]

Wouldn’t want Piroe. Good player in the championship but honking in the Prem

We're in the Championship.

 

[SkyBlueBarmy84]

Yeah, Piroe on loan until the end of the season would be ideal to get us over the line.

 

[Tommo1993]

Would be all over the idea of Piroe on loan. Probably won’t happen though.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Lampard didn’t seem too fussed

Frank never gives much away.

 

[wingy]

Lampard didn’t seem too fussed

Looked a Very serious chappy at the end there, not the normal effusive self.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Piroe, no thanks.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Piroe, no thanks.

Yeah I’d hate for us to sign a striker who’s scored 19+ goals in 3 of his 4 seasons in the Championship.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Any truth in the rumour linking us to Tyrique George of Chelsea? He’s not getting a sniff of Premier League game time at the minute, being used mainly in cup game, a decent winger, would be perfect for us.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Any truth in the rumour linking us to Tyrique George of Chelsea? He’s not getting a sniff of Premier League game time at the minute, being used mainly in cup game, a decent winger, would be prefect for us.

We’ve been linked with him on loan and Leo Castledine on a perm. Get Piroe on loan and that will be a decent window.

George is mentioned by posters on here every window , never seen a definitive link to him

 

[Deity]

Look back a few pages

 

[Viktor17]

No chance on George, PL interest and across Europe.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Yeah I’d hate for us to sign a striker who’s scored 19+ goals in 3 of his 4 seasons in the Championship.

Who does he play over? There’s much more pressing needs, we don’t need a striker/goal scoring 10.

 

[wingy]

Think of the chemistry!

 

[covmutley]

I think we have to be careful. It's all well and good people mentioning good players that might be available, but we have a good TEAM.

It's clear the spirit in the camp and then with the fans is a major part of our success this season. I'm sure Frank and Doug will select a couple of players to help get us over the line, but what we absolutely can't do is upset what we already have- a championship winning team.

Two or three top quality additions to the squad would be wonderful

 

[SBT]

What’s the point in signing Piroe on loan? We already have one of the league’s best strikers, a backup who just won POTM and another backup soon to return from injury who also won POTM. We only play one up front btw.

Piroe can play number 10 also

Exactly, we have 3 options at CF
But no adequate cover on either wing, and no quality cover for JDS or Grimes.

 

[no_loyalty]

Exactly Pete, the squad depth is far too light currently. Three in would be ideal.

Anytime you get the chance to bring in a PL player on loan to play out of position so Rudoni and Eccles get fewer minutes, you pull the trigger, get it done Doug

youve just said in another thread we need more attacking options. at least keep your wumming consistent Larry

 

[Deity]

It depends what George wants. He can almost certainly join bigger clubs but will he play regularly ?

If his priority is to play and grow as a player then we are a credible option.

We do indeed need more attacking options so do we a) Wait for the guy who was playing really well to come back from injury in a week or two or b) Throw money at Joel Piroe to play out of position every third week?

I wonder what Doug will do!

Where’s it been confirmed he’s back in a week or two? is that on grass or ready to play?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

The initial 6-8 week diagnosis has him returning for Leicester at home. Lampard said he was still tracking at that.

6 weeks from Boro is after Birmingham away so BTA should be back for Stoke or Leicester.

Piroe isn’t a position of need but it’s never a bad thing to bring in a proven goalscorer

when did Lampard say that?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Isn't he capable of playing as a 10?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Isn't he capable of playing as a 10?

He is yes

 

[Balli001]

when did Lampard say that?

He hasnt

 

[SleepyGinger]

Piroe talented but bit of a luxury player from what I can remember, even when he was scoring goals Leeds fans never rated him. I’d look elsewhere for what he’d cost.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He hasnt

thought that was the case
