Rumour: Striker incoming.

Taiwo Awoniyi. 20 goals last season in Bundesliga, physical, clinical striker who can do the Davis role.

Apparently has been in Athens with his agent to discuss terms.

Does this mean Villa are taking the p1ss with the asking price for Davis? Similar player.

I'm hoping we sign both ibthinkbwe would need 4 decent strikers in the prem.

Ibthinkbwe sounds good.

Is he a Nigerian international too?

We will sign two strikers. My guess is that one of them will be able to also play on the wing (s) and/ or as the creative midfielder.

Signing versatile players will make a huge difference.

1. GK? Even if we keep Samba, I think Horvath wants to start games to get in the USA World Cup squad.

2. CB. (probably need 2 if Cooper doesn't trust Panzo/ Soh)

3. RWB (Laryea as cover)

4. LWB (Colback as cover)

5. Midfielder

6. Winger/ AM/ Backup-Striker

7. Centre Forward (Davis/ Awoniyi/ similar - ideally both)

Above is minimum. Some players need to be able to cover other positions, or we will still struggle for cover. Ideally, we will sign AT LEAST 9 players.

Forest need to spend really well and spend a lot of money. If not, the boss must have had a change of heart on players like Drager, Silva etc. If we can't get who we want then the likes of Lolley and Grabban need to stay fit and surprise a few people.

Is this awoniyi been playing in German prem league. Watched him on you tube. And some of the defending is poor. Takes his goals well. But is he prem standard.
Still hope we go for Davis as well.

Henderson - GK
Neco Williams - RWB
Niakhate - CB
Toffollo? - LWB
Garner and Maitland Niles - CM
Gibbs-White + 1 more - CAM
Awoniyi + 1 more - ST

That’d be what I’d do. Zinck maybe as a back up option to MGW then another good solid forward. Don’t think we need Awoniyi and Davis, would prefer we got a player that’s got a bit of pace and trickery about them but different to what we already have.

We don't have anyone like Davis or Awoniyi, so we do need a player like that. We were practically unbeatable playing with Davis.

Yes but we don’t need both. One is enough, then surridge adds something different with his movement. If we had surridge, davis, Awoniyi and Grabban we have 4 out and out strikers + Brennan. We’d be better off with Davis being someone completely different to the others.
