Julián Carranza (joined on loan, official)

[Brizzle Fox]

Christ this guy just seems really uninspiring. Probably all we're gonna get though, and better than nothing I suppose. 

 

Oh well who needs competent strikers anyway.

I’ve just come back from watching Coldplay. 
Chris Martin is 48 and looks faster than this bum.

I recall being somewhat underwhelmed when we signed Ulloa from Brighton, and he was bloody brilliant for us.  I was positive about the signings of Daka and Nacho, so what the hell do I know?  Gerrimin.

He’s going to be fuming he can’t link us to any other championship strikers.

This transfer reminds me of the movie Goal for some reason.

Spainah speaking mate for the boss, he seems fox in the box type of player, Billy Sharp vibes

Wasn’t very clever that….

[The Horse's Mouth]

Looks shite on paper  but it’s worth a punt he can’t be worse than ayew in the 9… surely?

This signing makes no sense. 

The numbers stack up about as well as the Coulibally transfer. Eduoard had a better goal scoring record.

54 goals in 120 career starts, loan with a buy option. What are you expecting?

Eni Aluko says that if you do the maths, he's scored a goal a game.

A forward that is guaranteed to start week in, week out and hopefully we don’t take the option to buy.

 

Dakas would score more in the MLS.

 

The Championship overall is much higher standard and he wont put anything like those numbers up if he joins us. In fact, I doubt we’ll see much of him.

I'm in the school of people that cringes every time we buy a striker that can't run the 100m in Olympic qualifying time. I love a bit of mobility up top. 

 

Even I think Carranza looks a decent enough move relative to our current position. Certainly better than I was expecting. 

 

I joked but I honestly did think we might offer Bamford like a four year deal. 

 

Carranza looks like someone you have to actually create chances for, which is obviously concerning, but he also seems to put a shift in, is strong with decent balance and is an alright technical finisher? 

 

Seems fine. Looks Piroeesque. 

 

[JayTheFox]

Obviously stats and previous goalscoring records are important but Daka was purchased having scored 27 goals in 28 games for Salzburg and he can’t hit a barn door for us. 
 

So if it happens let’s just see how it goes I guess

Piroe comparison is excellent. Didn't have bags of goals before coming over, was obviously a bit younger but still, you just never know, and if it's a loan with option then the only risk is our wingers stop scoring and we have no strikers to score

Absolute bagsman Jordan Ayew always here just in case.
