a1ex2001 Posted 14 December, 2016 Share Posted 14 December, 2016 Have we offered him a new contract yet? If he maintains this form the list of clubs sniffing about will surely be increasing fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanRG Posted 14 December, 2016 Share Posted 14 December, 2016 Glad we're not overreacting to his good form. I'll be delighted to welcome him back to the squad and see him given opportunities but he's unlikely to be the answer to the first team's striking problems.

Baird of the land Posted 14 December, 2016 Share Posted 14 December, 2016 Without Austin's injury it would be obvious to leave him where he is. However if we think we need more options up front in Jan it would make more sense to bring him back rather than buy someone likely overpriced in January who would just be an obstacle to his first team opportunities anyway.

benjii Posted 14 December, 2016 Share Posted 14 December, 2016 If there is someone we can buy who is a genuine upgrade on Long, Austin and Jay Rod and is well suited to the style Puel wants then, great, let's buy them if we can. If not, I would be happy to see him given a chance. A lot of forward play is about confidence and he will be full of confidence. If we need numbers, I'd rather it was Gallagher than someone signed purely to make up the numbers. We aren't going to get a return on Austin, Long or Jay Rod so we do need to be a bit careful about our next striker move or we're going to be throwing a lot of the wage budget down the well.

DuncanRG Posted 14 December, 2016 Share Posted 14 December, 2016 Who can say what is likely and unlikely in football these days though? There's only one way to find out. Equally, there's only one way to find out once and for all whether Anne Widdecombe would do a job up front. We all assess things based on what's in front of us! I wonder how many goals Long would score for Blackburn in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 14 December, 2016 Share Posted 14 December, 2016 doesn't that apply to anyone we bring in?yes, but there are different risk strategies. Gallagher is future talent that needs to gain experience before being under the pressure of the PL. Its a harder position to establish yourself in, probably the hardest. Personally Sims brilliant start is fantastic but we have to make sure he is gradually brought through, he could easily become a one match wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW5 SAINT Posted 14 December, 2016 Share Posted 14 December, 2016 well if you bring Gallagher back and he fails to make the step up, that could leave us with a forward line that cant score for toffee. Dangerous game to play, especially if the defence starts to leak goals We could also not bring him back, and still have a forward line that doesn't score for toffee. He is probably just the sort of striker we would be looking to sign in January anyway, if he wasn't ours already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 14 December, 2016 Share Posted 14 December, 2016 Sam McQueen doesn't seem to have struggled with the pressure I'm all for bringing in academy boys in to the first team.

simo Posted 14 December, 2016 Share Posted 14 December, 2016 I can't see us paying out for anyone so it'll either be a loan , Sam or no one Imo! Personally I'd like Sam to stay where he is until the summer as you can't underestimate the importance a season of scoring regularly against men in a tough league for his confidence and form next season !

derry Posted 14 December, 2016 Share Posted 14 December, 2016 It's not a case of bringing Gallagher back. It's more about why on earth would we bring the lad back to face the higher standard defences in the Premier with the team playing such defensive negative dross. It might ruin all the good work he is doing. Leave him where he is. Better still get Puel to change the way he has the team playing more Everton and second half Middlesborough than meaningless possession statistics. Goals win matches.

Taking I love seeing our lads develop in the PL is just what the owners will love.Not having to buy and the fans taking it. When Gallagher has developed then put him in, Kane spent a long time learning his trade at other clubs before he was pushed into the major responsbility of being the main target man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
