"Derby County on a supermarket sweep for a striker. Afobe may be too dear. Grabban poss. Don't rule out late Blackman move." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam the Ram Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Didn't realise Blackman was in the last year of his contract. The fee agreed between Wednesday and Reading is apparently around £3 million. Never been a huge fan of his myself, but £3 million for a player who can play both out wide or up front and is one of the top scorers in the league isn't bad.

Not great either... 26 and this is his first good season. I prefer our gamble on Razza nearly a third of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both seem to have similar attributes to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Not really too keen on this if it happens. Over 100 games for Reading and scored something like 18 goals in that time. 11 of them have come this season. He's 26 years old and has 44 career goals in just under 200 games. Really not special. We are obviously looking for a striker. I hope we don't sign a half season wonder like Blackman and consider that position sorted. Is he really going to be the difference to fire us to promotion? Personally I don't think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he came he'd either be played out of position on the left, or we'd change to a 4-2-3-1 and it's not longer the ideal formation for him.

Ahh my mistake, was just going off a message a Reading friend sent me. He said one of their local journalists still thinks he's going to Derby and not Wednesday and that he's contributed to 20 of their 30 goals this season. He's obviously miles off.

Kernow Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If we go for him it's purely out of cost. Afobe & McCormack would be around £10mil a piece. Gayle & Grabban around £6mil each. We just need another outlet that we can look to for goals when CM is marked out of the game or having an off day. Blackman would not cost a lot, 26, out of contract in 6 months. Would expect the fee to be around 2.5mil - that's what's going around on Twitter with SWFC fans anyway. Although as has been mentioned, he scores from the right wing, which suggests further a system change should he arrive. 4-2-3-1 with Martin up top, Razza left, Ince central and Blackman right?

Cam the Ram Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Friend's description of him - Selfish, questionable as a striker but does very well as a right forward in a 4-3-3 so would have to take Ince's spot to get the best out of him.
