May be off for a reunion with Pulis . be plenty of fingers crossed on our side I should think

Wouldn't leave us much time to get replacements in. I would hope that IF there is any mileage in the story then it means we have lined up at least 1 striker to bring in.

Or that's why we played Burke as a striker on Tuesday.

That would still leave us short of a striker though we need 1 more if HRK doesn't go, 2 if he goes. Also if that was the thinking it does beg the question why Burke hasn't played through the middle when he's been brought off the bench in league games then?

I'm not saying it's right, I agree that we need more, I'm just not convinced that HRK leaving will trigger anyone coming in. I think Darren will have to work with whatever he has left come Saturday.

I think you've misunderstood me I wasn't suggesting you believed it, I was just musing as to why we haven't tried Burke through the middle that's all. QPR would have been the ideal game to try it out after we'd gone 4-1 up.

I fear you may be right with regard to not replacing HRK but it would be very naive to go until at least January with only 2 recognised strikers.

Matt Wilson from the E and S saying we have rejected the loan bid from Boro. Unless Boro were offering a cash fee in January, not sure why Pulis thought we would strengthen a rival on the cheap.

I don't regard Robson-Kanu as a recognised striker, but we've had that discussion before!

I actually think it would be cataclysmic if we end up with just Rodriguez and Gayle.

Let's hope we've got several deals lined up with the money we'll get if Chadli goes, as our transfer activity seems to be dependent on that.

To be fair any deal would need to at least starts as a loan anyway.

Albion79 · « **Reply #659 on:** August 30, 2018, 11:22:40 AM »

Not sure Robson-Kanu would want to go to Middlesboro even if a deal is agreed.

He has this business he runs now down south, which judging by his interview all his spare time goes into, his family are in london, i am sure i read he is married to some billionaire heiress so i doubt money is too tight for them.

By the sounds he doesnt need to rely on his football income and Middlesboro is a bit out the way so wouldnt be surprised if he turned down the move, he wasnt ever a regular under Pulis here anyway so i imagine he would go from bench warming with us to bench warming at Middlesboro.

Transfer talk goes in the transfer forum

smosher34 · « **Reply #662 on:** August 30, 2018, 01:28:18 PM »

Does he need a lift be loads of cars now ready to take him. Not good enough.

Foster#1 · « **Reply #663 on:** August 30, 2018, 01:36:50 PM »

Has a goal every 65 mins so far this season plus 1 assist.

Good return.

Better ratio compared to murphy(forest) wildschut(Bolton), soudani(forest) El Mohamady(villa), pukki(Norwich) mount(derby).
All scored 2 goals.

Only players who have scored 2 and assisted more are allioski(Leeds) & hernandez(Norwich)

Some players on that list have been linked with moves away for 5m+. I know some are midfielders..

What happens if Gayle and Rodriguez gets injured?

Don't understand people who say give him away or they will drive him..do they want us to have 2 strikers on board till Jan ?

Hrk will do as back till Jan

Big mention to Hal who put in a very good performance (as he usually does to be fair) and got the goal he deserved. I know he gets a lot of stick but at this level heâ€™s good at holding the ball up and not a bad finisher when it comes to it

No he doesn't he's usually awful. That said he's usually played through the middle.

Playing as a wide forward today suited him much better. Had the best game I've seen him have for us.

Good performance, deserves a bit more respect than he's had on one of his threads over the last couple of weeks.

Sorry Iâ€™m not someone whoâ€™s on board with the hate for Hal. Yes heâ€™s limited but he usually holds the ball up better than our other forwards (which is why he gets brought on more often than not) and took his finish well today. I took great pleasure cheering in the face of the guy who sits behind me who was shouting how s*** he is the entire game when he scored.

Put a great shift in today that's more like it.

HRK gets alot of stick on here, much of it deserved, but today he was excellent. He has the physical strength to hold the ball up, and in that sense is more of a target man, if that's the way we are going to play. But he also showed some clever technical touches as well, and his goal was cleanly tucked away into the corner.

Best game in Albion shirt well done Hal, oh yeah cracking goal.

I agree 100% but i hope its his last one he plays for us, i cant stand cheating gits especially when they are in our colors.
