I really hope we stick him straight into the team on Tuesday. I’m sure the team has a training session on Monday which he is part of and then will travel. Either for Berks or Sibley.

0-0

He also showed nothing to suggest he would make it in men’s football. You win some, you lose some.

So many of you getting into a panic just because there isn’t a statement on the DCFC website yet lol.

No there is no flow through.

We just played 90 minutes football today - I can’t remember us once having a player make a run in behind and us trying to play that pass to that player (successful or not). It makes it easier for opposition defences if they know a striker isn’t running in behind us.

Except they are the same kind of goals that Collins is already scoring.

Be disappointing if Smith is our striking option. Been linked with quite a few from L1 or L2 who offer potential and we get a past it 32 year old who to me is the same as Collins. Could see today we are desperate for that number 10. It’s not Sibs, it’s not Bird and it’s not John Joules.

Wish we could sign a striker who wasn’t a big lump it to kind. Been linked to a few but this is who we may end up with 😞

Just guesses but: 1) He’s not been registered yet with the FA or EFL so can’t actually play yet. 2) They want to call a press conference which is best done on a working day. 3) Maximise news cycle which means Monday Im sure there is a number of perfectly good reasons why we haven’t … we may never know them. Let’s be patient.

Lose 1-0

I wonder if we get any fee for him playing each game. (Like Bielik at the WC)

I still don’t know why they agreed to waive any amount of the fee. If Stephen Pearce had anything to do with that he should be applauded for saving us £1.3m

Don’t think you’re far off with those numbers.

The longer he’s out, the better we are.

Out of interest, would you be happy with 300k upfront and 300k add one for Max Bird?

Not league game from memory.

1 league goal for is from memory? Port Vale away where from 16 yards out he managed to put it through GK legs. Intended or fluke? Im far from convinced.

Not convinced on him - feel it’s a loan wasted. Hope I’m proved wrong.

1) If he gets you promoted then yes, absolutely. Championship income is circa 8 to 10 million more than L1 income. 2) If it guarantees that he joins us rather than risking him to someone else then yes. 3) I suspect his wages will be slightly less than if he signed on a free transfer. Say its 2-3k a week less, then that's 100 to 150k a year less, which over a three year contract is his transferr fee. This really is a no brainer for me.

Win 4-1 Collins

If our CM options next season regardless of division are Fornah, Thompson, Savage and one other.... God help us stay in L1, let alone the Champ.

1 good player is better than 2 average players.

To be fair, he was a Polish International. It was a cracking signing on paper.

What does Smith bring that Collins doesn’t?
