Finnegan Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 So yeah. We've run out of money. It'll just be a loan, I'd be amazed if we agree to an obligation unless it's based on him scoring X goals. He's shite. I don't even believe we rate him that highly, Fofana and Broja have been blatantly available all window as Chelsea are desperate we've clearly left it to now because we were hoping for other targets.
Nolucklcfc Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 Thought this would happen after the Ipswich move failed
Levi Port Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 Realistically if we can keep him fit it’s what we need 1

They do this a lot and nothing ever comes of it. Maybe someone can clarify. UPDATE now seem the article Edited 30 August 2024 by Lesta Legend Update
Happy Fox Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 Broja when fit is a decent option at this level we need another striker. 1

Saxondale Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 I don’t recall ever having watched this dweeb, but the media talk about him as if he’s good. Is he not then?
egg_fried_rice Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 Failed his Ipswich medical - haven't we got enough injured forwards at the moment?
Aleksz Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 Quite happy with it as long as we're not getting tied into a ridiculous obligation to buy like Ipswich were going to. Also, what's the medical issue?

He's strong, he's decent in possession. He just has no real output. The problem is if we are only looking in the loan market, getting a good goal scorer is going to be tough especially with us leaving it until the last minute. Still trying to get my head around the fact that it is has been obvious we need a number 9 all window and we are not searching in the bargain basement. 2
copunk Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 Over rated beyond belief, had a good 2 months with Southampton, done nothing since
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 I think out of the 2 I'd prefer David Datro Fofana, but it's slim pickings. 3
Finnegan Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 For the record, he has a substantially worse minutes-per-goal rate in the Premier League than Vardy, Daka and Iheanacho having played 66 games and 2806 minutes. He's managed 8 Premier League goals and 3 assists in his career to date. Didn't exactly dazzle in his 13 games (6 starts) with all of 1 goal for Chelsea last year. At Southampton he started 21 games and scored 6 goals. Obviously he's pretty young and he's got time to develop but I'd be amazed if he gets double figures in combined goal contributions. He's done that once ever and that in the Eredivisie when he scored 10 in 20 odd starts.

Nah we just nursed Cannon back to full fitness after signing him with a broken back.. makes sense to now ship him out on loan and get an injured player in to replace him
AjcW Posted 30 August 2024 Posted 30 August 2024 @Bilo he was born in Slough before you compliment his English in the announcement video 1
