LCFCCKEANO Posted 4 August Posted 4 August So if we sign championship scorers who are experienced it is naff because of the sell on. When we take a chance it is naff because they have no record in a good league. Are we expecting youngsters from top leagues or with records like Haaland? 3

Tolaj has just gone from Plymouth (L1) to Bristol City (Champ) for £4m + add-ons Kone scored 18 goals for Wycombe in L1 in 24/25 and went to QPR for £3-5M Forest (Champ) signed Assombalonga from Peterborough (L1) for £5-8M in 2014. Toney went from Peterborough (L1) to Brentford (Champ) for £5-10m in 2020 Dwight Gayle went from Peterborough (L1) to Palace (newly promoted to PL) in 2013 for £4.5m All this post does is makes me need to look who Peterborough’s striker is nowadays Harry Leonard? 20 year old David Kamara who seems to have been on loan to Harborough Town last season!

In a well ran recruitment department you'd take confidence that the data suggests a very progressive player who is only just being used frequently and the risk of a small sample size if offset by what he has delivered. Whether our recruitment team are well ran is open to discussion. There are other English clubs that have also tried to sign him and one of them has signed and got considerable success with strikers such as this so again i'm taking confidence in that. 1

What’s the other club who has tried to sign him who has considerable success with strikers?

Gloria Posted 4 August Posted 4 August This has a faint whiff of Marco Boogers singing for West Ham. Wonder if Rudkin had to unplug the fax machine to play the highlights VHS to Brussel...?

Long Eaton Fox Posted 4 August Posted 4 August Could the person who contacted his agent before ask him for the latest updates👍

But their idiot board vetoed the deal. Our bigger idiots at board level let Walsh go and presumably we’d have been the club to get him. We clearly using the previous scouting data base and black book went in for the other one. Sliding doors I guess. 1

He'd only played for Byrne reserves in the Norwegian 3rd tier

ALC Fox Posted 4 August Posted 4 August On the one hand Bristric hasn't started many games and at 23 you'd expect him to be a bit further along in his development than he is. But on the other hand he's done well when he has started, his goals-to-minutes ratio is really good and he's started to show that he could be coming of age in a division with a very similar power ranking to League One, showing that - if he can come in and settle - his next step could be starting and scoring regularly at the level we're at. Does that about capture the prevailing narrative?
