StanSP Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 seen him quite a few times for New York City. Was by far one of the better players in the MLS. Stood out like a sore thumb with how good he was.
RutlanderFox Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 1 hour ago, SpazticChicken said: aye, we were linked in one of the last two windows. Really didn't think he was good enough for us going off his YouTube reel, looked stumpy limbed and lacked agility but he should do well in the Champ. Whatever happened to that lad Bayern picked up and left in their youth academy? came through at Barnsley first I think Dale Jennings. Came through at Tranmere then left Bayern for Barnsley then went on to MK Dons but is now a free agent. Too much too soon for him sadly
spacemunky Posted 31 July 2018 Posted 31 July 2018 Looks like Sheff U are getting Ben Woodburn on loan from Liverpool. Villa were also in the running for him.

Guest MattP Posted 31 July 2018 Posted 31 July 2018 Why does Bamford go for so much money? So average and struggles to hold down a first team place even in the Championship.

So average and struggles to hold down a first team place even in the Championship. I don't rate him that highly but £7 million rising to 10 isn't too bad these days, his goal scoring record as an out-and-out striker at that level is about 1 in 2 and he's only 24. Leeds needed that because they've signed some dud strikers since Wood left, Ekuban and Grot were / are atrocious and Lassogga was only a loan who petered out badly. Bamford is reliable in the Championship and that's what they need otherwise they'd be going into a season with Kemar Roofe as their only real player who can be effective up top and while he's good at that level – they needed someone else. The Championship will definitely always be his ceiling, though. Bit like Nuge.
Guest MattP Posted 31 July 2018 Posted 31 July 2018 Just had a look at his record - 35 goals in 92 in the Championship. Not great but not a disaster. I'm struggling to come to terms with the fees in football to be honest.

Soar Fox Posted 31 July 2018 Posted 31 July 2018 Mitrovic going for £22 million rising to £27 million is ridiculous. Sky think it’s wonderful. They were proud as punch the other day going on about how it’s nearly at £1billion pounds with 10 days of the window still left open.

CosbehFox Posted 31 July 2018 Posted 31 July 2018 Leeds and Derby picking up some smart signings. Brought a smile to the face reading that Lampard is playing Nugent upfront at Derby with Lawrence and Mount either side of him.
AjcW Posted 31 July 2018 Posted 31 July 2018 An Alan Shearer in today’s market. Jesus how on earth do you begin to quantify that? It’s Harry Kane levels plus? So £100million minimum really

So £100million minimum really He'd be a steal at £100m in today's market. It's easy to forget how many stunning goals he scored, especially earlier in his career. Left foot, right foot, 30 yards, 1 yard, headers, whatever. As he aged, he changed his game and still kept scoring. I think he was a complete striker. There haven't been that many complete strikers in any era really. They are like hens teeth.

I think Ruud VN comes close. But I can’t think of many others. And even our very own Vardy equaled his record. One thing that always sticks out with shearer, something you don’t see a lot of how, is that when he hit it you already knew it had gone in . I’m biased as I’m half Geordie but seriously what a player!

foxfanazer Posted 1 August 2018 Posted 1 August 2018 Feel dirty saying it but I hope Lampard does well at Derby and takes them up. Always one of favourite premier league players and seems a genuinely nice guy. Met him in Covent Garden not long after our title win and he stood chatting to me for a good 5 minutes. Told him I was a city fan and he said what an amazing achievement the league win was
spacemunky Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 Kean Bryan signs with Sheff U from Man City. Looks like another decent acquisition for them. Looking at their roster though, I think they're still too much of a L1/Championship team to fight for the top. Could sneak into the playoffs.

ARTY_FOX Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 What do you think to Wigan’s chances this season? Pretty decent opening game for them
Leicesterpool Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 3 hours ago, ARTY_FOX said: What do you think to Wigan’s chances this season? Pretty decent opening game for them I can see them actually starting off well, maybe top six first couple of months of the season. From then on will be interesting. Come May I think drift down a little, top 12 finish. The teams I think will be in the top six... Bristol City, Villa, Derby, Middlesbrough, Stoke and West Brom. Going down... Blackburn, Ipswich and Brentford.

Going down... Blackburn, Ipswich and Brentford. I think that’s a good shout, I can see Wigan being in the mix but being beaten to 6th by the team that always goes on that late run. They’ll win on Saturday against Wednesday. Aren’t they in a spot of financial bother?
