North_Stand_Ram Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 He's already signed for Cardiff hasn't he? They activated his £3m release clause, so not yet, is he worth that? Great scoring record for an average side mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Don't think he's worth that. 1 season wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobram Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Wouldnt want him in the prem. And goal scoring isn't really a problem in our team how about strengthen defence, wingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I feel the same as everyone else. I'm not willing to label him a 'one season wonder' because people could say that about Chris Martin, but we know/hope that's not true. However, I just don't see how he represents good value for money. I also feel he is lacking somewhat technically. Although he scored 22 goals, which is impressive, he had more shots than any player in the Championship according to the numbers. I've read Bournemouth fans claim: 'if Grabban could finish, he would be on 30' a number of times. Whether that is correct or not, I don't know. Ultimately, I just think he is definitely no better than what we have. I doubt he would even suit our system, where would you play him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Remember watching him at ours, thought he looked sharp with bags of pace to get in behind, but seems like the kind of striker that needs 6 or 7 chances until he scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Had a really good season, can he play either side of Martin? if so, I would look at signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Because of our formation we play one central striker in Martin. Class wide men will be key signings I don't think we need a Grabbam. Although look at Southampton they play Rodriguez out wide left and Lambert up top, Rodriguez is actually a central striker by trade. It could work.

Ram@Lincoln Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd take the Watford guy over this guy. The Watford one has done the business consistently for a few years now, would much rather have a proven striker if we're spending that sort of money.

nomad Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 3 mill for Grabban? Let Cardiff have him. There has to be better value for money out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_J_DCFC Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Would fit into one of the wide roles out of the three strikers positions but 3 mill is a bit extreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 TheeeeeeeoooMy thoughts too. But I bet he will be able to control the ball better then Theo. Saying that my 4 year old son can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Ram Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Problem is, what will we do when Martin is injured or suspended? Is this when Bamford comes in, hence there is interest in retaining his service next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I dont think Bamford can do the role that Martin does the way we play, we play our best football when we play into martin and have lots of movement off him, Bamford I like as a player but one of his real weakness's is his hold up play.
