I like the signing. Not something we have in the squad, and changes things significantly with his attributes when we decide to use him. Those attributes known to scare defenders, especially at this level. 

To those saying why not develop our own. We don’t have a striker with these attributes so that’s not possible. 

To those saying it’s not Mount or Wilson… we aren’t a promotion chasing championship team with money anymore. Get used to it.

Most football stats have him at 1.8m 5ft 11inch so not 6ft 4 ...... played 5 games as a sub so very much at start of his career.

Are you believing Wikipedia and Transfermarkt over Liam Rosenior? Because that’s literally what you’re doing. 

En route to 23 signings now. Some of it makes no sense whatsoever. Sign a near £20m signing in Awoniyi, then decide to spend a load more on Emmanuel Dennis… but wait, now Michy Batshuayi too?! They only play 1 striker and none of them are going to want to sit in the bench. This isn’t mentioning the near 6 fullbacks they’ve now signed. 

Still expect Osula to be done, but that likely be it.

Collins will score mate. He's played well and it's coming.

Steve Howard took 7 games to bag. 

 

Beg to differ on him playing well, but I hope you’re right. Still doesn’t mean I wouldn’t drop him if we had another option.

If we made a new signing tonight. You'd stick in them straight in up front over Mcgoldrick and Collins?

Yep. Collins for obvious reasons, McGoldrick for fitness and suitability as a 9 reasons. 

Anyone got a Tl;dr?

It’s clear we need another striker. A couple of injuries and we will have Big Bart up front. Are we being hindered by still paying £27k a week to Beilik as he is still injured ? 

You know his wages? Also no, he’s on loan.

Perhaps someone out there's been measuring him including his hair and someone else without?

 

 

 

 

More likely someone took his height at like 16 and he’s now 3 years older.

Looks a handful, could've had seven.

 

Heights on this guy are all over the place. Rosenior said 6ft4 which is much taller than you can find online, and he looks right based on the size of him over all the defenders here. 

Still want him in central midfield, but rather have him there than out wide like he's played so often over the years.

Is Boly for next season’s championship team? 
Decent enough player but anyone who refuses to play for the team who are paying him isn’t a good professional are they? 

Couple that with Dennis' supposed attitude problem too...

It might not be too pointless in signing him for the u21 squad, Jake Rooney was signed under identical circumstances and he's already ready being compared with the greats.

No he wasn’t. Rooney was out of contract, never came on loan.

Jake Rooney gets a cheer every time he passes back to the goalie. Let’s give Collins a song for support please.

So take a look at me now... there's just an open net...

Does the EFL have to follow?

Should do or you get the same issue. Premier League buying your players and you can't replace them.

5 games

9 goals

And I dont see any reason for that rate to drop. 

Injuries. He doesn't tend to stay fit for full seasons. If he does stay fit, he's going to break every goalscoring record the Premier League has.

Anybody know how this actually works? Does he still use up one of our loan spots, or is it a separate youth loan or something? And if it's separate, are there things we have to do before he could play for the first team?  Can we just chuck him in or do we have to upgrade the loan or something.

Youth Loans are a thing but not sure how they work. We used one on Rushian Hepburn-Murphy a few years back.

Beyond that, I think the rule is just 5 in the matchday squad, so if it's a standard loan then he could play for the first team if we dropped another out the squad.

Plymouth are a good team at this level. We seem to have faced a few of them at home, rather than the some of the teams expected to be at the bottom. They have plenty of attacking options.

Team for me:

Wildsmith, Knight, Stearman, Cashin, Roberts, Bird, Hourihane, Sibley, Dobbin, Barkhuizen, New signing

I remember Liam saying we were chasing players at clubs at the top of the premier league, I'm guessing we missed out on those?

Potentially. Just like with Oko Flex, these players try and wait for a Championship move and may only go for us when there isn't one.

What’s his contract saying? Might want to come here on loan to then sign permanently on a free if he’s on his last year. 

Just now, Van der MoodHoover said:

??? Do we need one of these? 

Sort of. Think he can play centrally as well as either side. When NML was missing at the weekend we didn’t have a player on the bench to bring on out wide, could see depth was nowhere. 

The odd thing about this one though is if we are expecting 2 signings which are supposedly a striker and a right back, according to Derbyshire Live… then where does this fit? Would this be a third? If so, that says only one of the the striker or right back can be a loan, because you can only have 5.
