Confirmed Signing Taiwo Awoniyi (1 Viewer)

SkyBlueMatt said:
Now that it's been confirmed at 9mil, that's completely changed my perspective. For PL money, it is a smart buy, still a risk with his game time over the last 2 seasons but plenty of upside to it.

Throw in the fact he apparently is a great personality, keep it up Doug. LB next please.

100% got mixed up with the Cherif fee.

With all our strikers, there’s a nice blend of profiles and experience in there. If someone wants to pay £15m for Simms, I wouldn’t be against selling but his reliability is key to be honest. Which is probably needed with Haji and Awoniyi.

I’m sure we’ll be keeping Simms and Wright. Both will play games this season I think. Simms presumably will start on Friday.

Yeah I think Simms 1 million percent starts against Arsenal depends how fit Awonyi is and how quickly he adapts to our playing style he might make a brief sub appearance.
 
Forest here... some awful injuries made his on pitch time with us a little patchy - and once Wood was firing we moved away from a style that suited him. But get him the ball to his feet with forward momentum anywhere around the 18 yard box and I promise you he'll score you goals, very under rated finisher. He deserves consistent game time and a lot of us reds think he's got plenty more to give. Go well Coventry, you have one of the best human beings on planet ready to go to war for you.

Ellis just might surprise a few people this season.

People forget that Everton only sold him, and Tom Cannon for that matter, because of their financial situation at the time. He may have been let go in later seasons for not being at the level, but they saw something in him.

they did sign Beto for £27 million in that window
 
Simms likes to run onto a ball - with our midfield being the dog bollox hopefully they can provide some of these - like Friday night ;)

Thats no different to Awoniyi, Wright or BTA

Lampard has shown he has little faith in Simms by leaving him out in the 2 key playoff games against Sunderland, and by not offering him a new contract, (as far as we know) despite being in the last year of his current one.

Once Awoniyi is settled in, I think he becomes first choice, and we are expecting another CF to come in at anytime, so I can see Simms being on his way very soon, if not in this window then definitely by January when Wright will be fit.

Fine but Simms is the only fit one at the moment

Just to chip in - BigT looked very good in preseason - definitely fit and firing plus he does love a goal against Arsenal - Gooners on the other hand, hate him as he makes their CB’s look like under 15’s

I'd like him to go straight into the starting lineup against those wanker Arsenal CBs.

Has BTA ever played striker for us? I know on paper he is but feels more like a winger/AM in reality.

Only really in a 2 the season before last when we changed shape due to injuries. Never as the 1 up top really.

He's a possibility, he hasn't played there because he's never been required to, and we only play 1 striker.
But he's capable of playing anywhere across the front line.

We don't know that, there might be ongoing negotiations and maybe the move to bring in new strikers has been triggered because one is on the table but he hasn't signed. I don't think DK will end up being out manouvered by a football agent.

Market Value 16 million!! Sell!
 
Part of me really wants Ellis to start Friday (and think he will) because he deserves to.

Other part of me wants Awoniyi straight in there like a battering ram from the off.
