Jørgen Strand Larsen

We desperately need a new striker,but window closes tomorrow.
Wake up,SP and smell the coffee.
Perhaps an inevitable defeat this afternoon to an inform Forest will finally see some action before it is too late.
If we really have no other option than Strand-Larsen then I'd go down the toxic option of refusing Mateta the move and sticking with him. Yes he might have wanted the move but he's desperate to go to the World Cup. So he has to start performing for us, whether he's happy about it or not I don't really care. Then he can leave in the summer and we can find a more suitable replacement, who will probably be pretty average but not cost 50m.

As I've said in another post, I'd much rather invest more in other areas of the pitch as if you provide quality chances then you can make do with a half decent striker i.e Calvert-Lewin, Welbeck, Wissa (Brentford days). A club our size should not spend 50m on one player, it's a disaster waiting to happen.
 
Most on here may indeed think he is ‘crap’ but the opinion that matters is of our DOF who will know him better than most, and our own scouting team. With the greatest respect, most (not all) people on here are only in a position to make pretty superficial judgements about a player (I include myself in that). I think it unlikely that Parish will spunk £50 million on a player without at least some evidence that he is not ‘crap’. Of course, there is no guarantee we will sign him anyway.
Nketiah and Benteke?
 
I see Raheem Sterling got off 468 walking to Gift shop - god that was a hard night on the turps 🤣🤣

I’m not sure but ever since the “ read ya bloody emails “ debacle things behind the scenes has not been great at all.

It’s hard to want to see Glasner at Selhurst last week I felt nothing for him or JP “ but just go away please “

Since Dougie left seems Matthew Hobb has not done well at all , yet Glasner speculation then notifications has just damaged the club to outsiders likely who might have signed.

Steve Parish will plod along in his blue suit blue sports car & say nowt over what’s been happing to the club

Yet he has the best supporters in the land we rocked Wembley 3 times & how could not say - “ I need this club to progress “ but alas
 
The click bait says that we will now not go down the Strand route but go for a Norweigan team mate Jens Petter Hauge, who is a winger, surely we need a Centre Forward ,we will probably land up with a Norweigan bloody parrot.

The two positions we really need to bring in players for are centre forward and centre back so I fully expect us to loan a keeper instead
 
It may be a game of brinkmanship between Parish and Woves to see who blinks first on Larsen’s price. I even wonder if Leeds ‘offer’ of 40m is genuine or a collusion between two teams to up the price to try to fleece another. It all goes on…

Hang tough Parish and walk away if you have to. Sod em.

We will still have Uche, Guessand and Nketiah(when Fit) better to wait for a proper football DOF and Manager
 
Mateta is almost out the door and has been poor for half a season now. We do need to fill the gap, we honestly already needed backup for him in the first place.

Mateta get’s tonnes of service and wastes it. We are fantastic at creating chances, awful at converting them.

Last season Larsen was getting good service and scored 14. This season he isn’t getting that service because Wolves already got rid of their creative players and are terrible this season.

Larsen with the service we give Mateta, should be a top scorer. If we end up putting 10m extra up after the Mateta money it’s not a terrible deal, ultimately it’s one that needs to be done.

Hopefully a centre-back comes in as well and we can call it a day, right on the deadline as per usual.
 
There is a danger that going forward Parish may be considered untrustworthy. He stopped the Guehi deal at the last moment at the last transfer window, and it looks like he is stopping Milan getting Mateta and leaving Larsen not knowing where he will be playing.
Of course, we are only seeing what the press tells us and everything may be fine behind the scenes with both players ending up where they want to be. But if not, I can see Parish being ostracised by other clubs, refusing to sell or buy unless Parish commits early in the window.
