jimbobram Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I think he will be a good signing. Look how man chances we create and how many goals we scored last season. He is bound to score goals with the players his got around him. Also we have 2 wing backs who like to get a ball in the box now which helps even further. The wages might be a bit too much but if there is any chance we can get Sammon of the books seeing as he is meant to be a big earner, then that will make up the difference. good back up to Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InigosLeftPeg Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Owen Bradley said that Blackburn will pay the majority of the wages. So yes, with Sammon off the books wages may well break even! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 We'll be paying half max according to Nixon Owen Bradley said that Blackburn will pay the majority of the wages. So yes, with Sammon off the books wages may well break even! Better but 15-20k is still a lot of money for a player like Leon Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuwtfly Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Taking him on loan seems like a smart move. If he's a hit, we can get him on the cheap as his contract will be nearing expiration. If he's **** he can bugger off back to Blackburn! BBC Sport are reporting it is set to take place now as well. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/derby-county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverSowDog Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Jury will be out well and truly on this one, if he signs, until he has time on the pitch. For poor Conor I'm afraid the writing has been on the wall for a long time. And the comparison between Conor and Best is virtually redundant. Anyone who scores roughly 1 in 4 at Prem level (Best) has potential to do well enough at Championship level...and with our current coaching, it may be better than that. What's Conor's scoring record at Prem (Wigan) and Championship level....aside from what we're all confounded by at times with our own eyes in terms of the other aspects of his game? So, Conor will be off soon for sure...and this would be the case if Best was to sign or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgoodspeak Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I love the recurring "could improve with our coaching" line. Did it work for Sammon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I don't know much about him so had a look at a few Youtube vids. He looks o.k a fairly rounded striker bit of pace, bit of skill, can hold the ball ok and looks alright in the air also fairly strong. Mac can certainly work his magic on this guy. The thing that stood out was his positioning, from what I saw he takes up some very good positions in and around the box which could be very good with the amount of chances we create. Obviously he will be a back up/different option to Martin. Looks like he will be able to play the Martin role, obviously not as well but he would offer more mobility and the option to mix it up a bit if things aren't going our way. The downside is a potential attitude problem and the wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
