maffff Kwesi Appiah anyone?


We could do worse. I thought he looked decent when he was with us.


I liked him, good pace about him too, scored a nice goal.

I'd just forgotten he existed until about twenty minutes ago :lol:


Prefer to use Dom & Meite tbh.

I thought Appiah was ok. But has he even kicked a ball since he left us?

If we are to sign anybody; i'd like to think it would be a player to suit the system, match fit & proven. Not just another body for the hell of it.

Why do people keep suggesting Meite up front?! He's a winger ffs.

Racism probably. He's Big and Black so he has to play in the Centre.

He can play up front, which is what stam has said himself. Something tells me that might be why they're suggesting he plays upfront :roll:

What is your definition of "can", how much of degree are we talking?

Cooper "could" play up front the other day against MK Dons. Doesn't mean he oxf*rd should.

Looks like we'll end up with a pacey interchangeable front 3. Mendes played as winger for the majority of last season.

No striker will be coming. According to the management at the club we are now all done for new signings.....

Hardly going to say we're screaming out for a new striker. Will just make teams overprice us if they know we're desperate for one.

Are we playing them as wingers or inside forwards in this system? (I haven't been able to make it to a game this year yet)

If we don't sign a striker before DD then we will have to look at that. Anyway, could do worse, he's fcuking quick, and you can always work on finishing in training.

The quote was more that we won't sign anyone else unless we sign anyone else. I don't think anyone has definitely ruled out adding anyone but at this stage you're left with panic buys or bargains.

Get reading now stating that with Rakells out until Brexit completes our already existing search for a striker before the window closes is being intensified.
Which sits nicely alongside the story that we may or may not sign anyone !

Q. would signing a player with some link to his position or ability in his name actually help? does it give a mental egde over the opposition?

apparantly Fraizer Campbell has been offered out to champ clubs for loan/perm. Crystal palace want rid after signing of Benteke. He might be worth a punt been a couple of years since he has played a proper role in a team though....
