Hope we can get him signed before then !

Still think we should go for Sala too if it’s doable. Goals will keep us up and, other than the big 6, we’re starting to stop them going in the other end so not too much of a problem.

They are the right aims too. Sign players better than guys in our starting 11. It's a big psychological statement to the teams around us too. Just hope it all comes off.

Really excited about this signing!!! Has pace, power, quick feet. There a bit of Mane about him, so excited to see what he can do as our main man!!

Well I would hope that if we got two decent forwards like Niasse and Sala in we would try and play a more attacking side paticularly at home. Obviously we could do with retaining possession better even it it just means more opportunities to get the ball forward to a couple of strikers.

It ain't the 90's mate and loads of sides play one up.



I think his point was more about our midfield unable to keep possession. Get Tameze (or whoever) instead of Gunnarsson and we could start to tick.

Agree :ayatollah:

Niasse signing (once confirmed) is a great start but we need to show intent. A deal for Sala and also Tameze (or someone of that ilk) would fit the bill :thumbright:

Please forget Sala. It has gone on longer than Brexit. He was not proven at a high league level and would have been a waste of money.

Re: UPDATED “ BREAKING OUMAR NIASSE SIGNS “

Thu Jan 17, 2019 7:19 am

Everyone who says dont get sala i think ur wrong. Watched 4 games and his work rate is awesome like patterson but quicker and can score more goals. Sala and niasse be awesome up top. Think joe allen could be good for us in midfield after all stoke aint doing much

In what league?! The one we play in, the toughest in the world. Plus That's about 49 more games and 10 goals more than any other of our strikers! Including this Sala fella.

Mate hardly proven! Patterson has a better goals to game ratio than him? And this “proven” striker doesn’t even have a locker at his own club? He might turn out good but personally it’s a waste of a loan



We're not in a position to get a proven prem striker. It's Jan so who's guna let one go and secondly probably out of our budget.

We have to go for players who are on the fringe with lots of potential. And personally I'm happier doing that on loan than spending 20m or whatever.

Nathan Blake did not have a high opinion of Sala, without saying it, sound like he could be a Madine mk2.

This was done last night. We will be seeing him in a city shirt about 2 o'clock I reckon. Unless they want to announce them both together.

None but none of us are judging him before he’s kicked a ball for us.

Blake generally talks nonsense so I wouldn't worry about what he has said.
