Interesting to see in a couple of these highlights videos that he scores quite a lot of "fox in the box" type goals - balls go in across the box and heseems to always commit and make the run/ slide in to finish them off. We've been lacking a bit of that this year. Remember a bunch of Brittain's crosses fizzing acrosss the face and Frieser or Victor standing at the edge of the box
Worth a gamble on a free transfer. We need some pace in the side. Hoping he’s a replacement for Victor and/or Chaplin, and not the man to replace Dike, though.
I’m not unhappy with with our new forward and think he his a typical “moneyball” kind of signing. If he’d not already played for us I don’t think there would be so many negative comments on this thread as there is now. Replacement for Dike?I need to go to your Opticans because I can’t see that!
Well as it stands, he's the one forward to come in, and Dike is the one forward to come out. At 26, he's not really one for the future, so unless we're keeping Woodrow and Morris, as well as bringing in another forward to go straight into the first team, then he is a replacement for Dike. Whether it's a straight replacement, or if Woodrow goes back to the middle with Cole and Morris either side of him remains to be seen.
Neither of them kicked a ball for us in the second half of the season. I’m not sure they need replacing. I doubt we’ll have seven first-team strikers, so either Cole is Dike’s replacement, or one of Chaplin, Adeboyejo or Frieser is likely to be moving on.
Or both. Cole replaces Dike in the first 11, while Aitchison, Marsh or a new spreadsheet signing takes the place of Chaplin, Frieser or Adeboyejo as back up.
No negativity from me, I think it could be a great signing. Besides he'll be in competition with Woody for the "granddad" epithet....
Could be a good signing see how it pans out 12 goals in spl last season but I think I could score a few in that league. I think at least one of vic,Miller,chaplin,schmidt will leave this summer.
I wouldn't be surprised if all four of them left. We might get money for Adeboyejo, Chaplin, and Schmidt - perhaps £1million-£1.5million for the three of them.
Not many said that when we were linked with him when keiffer left and we made posh a offer that there chairman referred to as derisory, or when brentford bought him and the comments were if toneys worth 6 million how much is woodrow worth...... thats aged well
If we could get an ok fee for him and replace him with someone who's got good potential I'd let him go. Wouldn't be sad to see him stay either.
If were lucky victor was a free schmidt was 900k and chaplin 1 million so were going to lose out no matter what
