I would still be looking for someone who can play out wide on the right or as a striker. Maybe one of the bigger clubs in Europe might have someone to loan us. Let's get Carlo on the phone
Play to his strengths and give him a run of games and he’ll score goals. Play him to end of the season and he’ll either prove his worth or boost his value if we sell in the summer. Win win either way 👍
My view though is Chermiti will be back in 3-4. Broja about 6. DCL with a bit of fortune for nor long after the international break. We’re now essentially safe. I’d be reluctant to throw money at more loans. They’re very uneconomical. A 2m loan fee for 6 months is a 10m player on the PSR books.
I think what you’d get on the market though isn’t going to be an upgrade on what we have at the moment. Theres doubts over Broja long term. I wouldn’t entertain an option on him. But I’d rather gamble on him in six weeks than another available loanee striker.
Beto great yesterday but in games where we need the CF to hold it up to take pressure off we’re going to struggle.
That being said I would not be signing anyone just for the sake of it.
With the win yesterday, I would try and limp through with Beto, Chermiti and N’Diaye as options and keep our powder dry for the summer. I’d rather not compromise on signings for the rebuild. I reckon we could get MacAtee with positional flexibility and that sort of signing is the goal
I would too. Broja mooted to be about 6 weeks. One of them is cup weekend. At the end of March international break…. It’s not ideal, but I’d stick unless there is someone available who is a long standing target.
Don’t think we have an option but to stick with him and play to his strengths. Look at other strikers in the league, hardly world beaters, but very effective if you play to their strengths. Wood, Mateta, strand Larson 🤔

Not every game will go as well as today but I think he'll be alright overall under Moyesie
And did it.
He was never a like for like DCL, a big striker yeah but otherwise a completely different type of player.
We're all made up for the lad cos he grafts his balls off and deserves this.
Running onto passes and scoring goals is exactly what beto is about. Hope we see many more!
All it took was a manager who wants to play to the strengths of the players he has and to believe in them.
If Jimmy Garner keeps playing him in he'll get a fair few I reckon.
Neither could barely play under dyche....
All of a sudden under moyes they're in the starting xi and playing so well.
He did some nice Super Kev style runs yesterday that was fun to see as well
He has talent, given service he can definitely make it in this league
But, the opposition were terrible so let's give this one some 🕐
If we can sort the Broja/Mangala loans out then it gives us room to manoeuvre
We cannot afford to get into the situation we had 2 years ago, when we only had Simms/Maupay
If Beto is injured we have nobody
Alot of talent in this squad, and more to come from players like Garner, Lindstrom and Iroegbunam
That being said I would not be signing anyone just for the sake of it.
Our negotiating team will be much better than in previous years.
Let's see what tomorrow brings 💪
This squad can’t cope with injuries or off days in that position.
I’d hope there’s ones across the world too.
