Smell the hotdog 4,055 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Reports in Serbia saying us and Milan are scouting Petar Ratkov. Sounds like he has plenty of offers to choose from, 19 year old striker 23 goals in 87 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly Dessers tbh, really hope we get someone more convincing. Dessers appears to be good at link-up play, skilful and quick but he doesn’t seem like the type that will score a load of goals. He fits in with a fluid front line that Beale likes to play but I feel we need someone that’s going to bag 20+ goals a season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it matter if it’s not open? We have already signed 3 players, 4 if you believe Cifuentes is a done deal and I was commenting on if you add Dessers and Palma into that, who we are clearly interested in, that those 6 signings (with emphasis on the Dessers interest in particular, our most important area of the team to improve) wouldn’t massively convince me. I hardly went over the top. I have to wait until September to comment fairly calmly on something that’s already happening now?

That's the type of player we should be looking at. 1 goal per 3 matches this season at 19 years old, really good potential. Physical enough to handle our game.

Seems to be putting in the hard yards already. I hope he does I would rather have seen him getting games at the tail end of the season than some of the players we were done at our club. Hope he pushes on this season or if he doesn't get him a good loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the one I was excited about as well, looks class. As mentioned, it's mostly Dessers I don't like the sound of, and I have some reservations about Butland and Cifuentes as well. But I just feel we really have to nail one striker and one winger at a minimum. And ideally we need to nail two wingers. Dessers doesn't give me that confidence as a striker target. Haven't read that myself about Palma but I don't mind that link. I think he would be pretty decent although I do think £5m is steep for him. If we got him for £3m or so I would be happy with it but would also feel like we still needed another good winger on top of him. BookWorm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye agreed, 3 million would be a great deal on the face of it and yes we definitely need more options up front, 2 quality forwards would be nice and if the rumours that Roofe's surgery has been a huge success and he will be ready to go for the start of next season are true then we will be in a tremendous place front to back. Huge pinch of salt always needed with Roofe but as usual will hope for the best and expect the worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's early, but Cifuentes looks a done deal, and we're strongly linked to Palma and Dessers. As I said, if that's how it ends up panning out then I'm not massively convinced by it. There is enough signed and players we're obviously interested in to get an idea of what we're planning on doing. Broadly agree with this. Dowell, Sterling and Butland are understandable on frees. Unconvinced by Cifuentes, Dessers and Palma ‘on paper’. They could turn out to be great but has the feeling that we’re going for our second or third choices after being priced out of those I think we’d unanimously back, like Piroe etc. graeme_4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
