Hello all,
Just wanted to ask if there was a clear difference with Broja playing up front instead of Beto?
I know the lad is a bit off being match sharp, but wanted to get your views on it.

I think Broja’s had a fair few seasons in the Prem and shown he can’t cut the mustard. Hasn’t worked at Chelsea, Fulham, Southampton or us. Too injury prone and not worth the £30m being banded around. Even for half of that, he’d be an expensive patient in the physio room.
Beto has had one half season. Has scored some goals and caused defenders some problems. I don’t think he will be first choice but he’s a better back up to Broja.

Thanks BR.
Personally, I think we just cannot take a risk on anyone who may be crocked half the time.

Broja not the answer for me I hope we can bring in two strikers this summer.

Re broja. Would anyone be happy to have him on loan again next season? My only thoughts being he's been unlucky with injuries, maybe with a full pre season he could be quality next season (not saying to not go out and sign a striker but with dcl going we will need st least 2 strikers? )

I’m with GB on this. I think we need two strikers in the summer.
I’d love to see Chermiti come good, but that is more of a hope at the minute.

Same or worse injury wise as DCL, both on their day can be a hand full, that 'day' though may be at best once or twice a season (in DCL's case) .

Don’t know Whitty. He’s not set the world alight at four prem clubs. I’d guess his wages would be quite high for a bench player/ third choice. The lack of funds we have should be spent wisely and I’m not convinced the likes of Broja, Harrison or Doucs fall into that category.

The quality of a striker is moot if he’s not on the pitch. There’s a reason Broja isn’t wanted by his parent club and for the same reason he’s not good enough for us. We need quality and fitness. Let’s see what the summer brings.

I was very loudly verbally disappointed last summer when he was coming in and the deal was crazy. Never wish injury on anyone but the loan has been a total disaster. His scoring records his injury record
It was all there to see and he came injured . The worst waste of time and money of the summer. Even that Maupay would have done better and saved us some money as Brojas wage is high. He is a lump and one day somewhere he will do well but we can't chance another loan and no way is he worth anything north of £5m and they want £25m. Not a chance unless he. bangs in a goal a game between now and end of season ain't happening.

Think an improvement in our wide players and maybe a playmaker in midfield might help our loan strikers. Most of the time they are feeding of scraps. Saying that I still don't think we have found the right one yet.
