Tommy G Posted 11 July Posted 11 July Our track record speaks for itself but we have a new DOF and I'll judge him at the end of the window, not chuck my toys out the pram after one signing that isn't even confirmed yet.
Number 6 Posted 11 July Posted 11 July In the context of a sensible well run club it could be a decent signing, a la Kevin Phillips. In the context of the current ownership it's another sign we haven't learnt anything to me. Suspect he will be expensive, and unavailable for large chunks of the season, though will get goals when fit. The road to recover looks like it's not starting yet. 4
Kinowe Soorie Posted 11 July Posted 11 July Lots couldn’t understand the signing of Tony Cottee back in the day, me included. Turned out to be a great addition. I will give him a chance. 3

Cropwellfox Posted 11 July Posted 11 July Looking at the squad available today and making the assumption that Farce’s agent will find somewhere for him to crawl off to and Okoli will leave too they are going to need a few more older heads in there. As long as this guy hasn’t been signed to start 35+ games it’s OK 1

volpeazzurro Posted 11 July Posted 11 July 14 hours ago, Lambert09 said: Yeah it’s really hard to tell. We all got annoyed to be linked with Ollie McBurnie last year and he ended up firing hull to the prem. But our track record speaks for itself We’ll need about three strikers and it’s only for one year so hopefully he’ll be able to make some sort of contribution. Let’s face it, he couldn’t be much worse than last year’s options could he? He’ll also potentially be playing for a second year?
Shane Posted 11 July Posted 11 July It wouldn’t be a bad signing if we also: - Sign Tolaj or someone similar to be our starting CF - Promote one of Otchere or Hutchinson (loan out the other one) 3

DezFox Posted 12 July Posted 12 July Another signing where we are just trying to replicate the Jonny Evans pick up. It worked once, now it seems it a consistent strategy. Coady, Bennett, Ayew, BDC it’s not working, stop doing it. 2
AjcW Posted 12 July Posted 12 July I bet he can’t wait to be rolled out in front of 30 people in the square
