Ram Bam Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I'd be okay with this as a stop gap for a year or two assuming it's a sensible fee / wages. The kind of player we eventually want to fill this role will cost big money, we need to find someone to play there until we can afford it. Fits the bill for the type of player we need, scored regularly at this level and I've always thought he looked decent whenever we played Millwall. To those dismissing this because of age, how many would have been happy to keep Chris Martin, aren't they a similar age? I'd also add theres not looking like there will be a lot of experience in our side Romney aside. We need one or two oldish heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andicis Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Would be an utterly terrible and pointless move. Just give Hector-Ingram the chance over signing this guy. He's way past it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanoakaram4life Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Blokes not bad at this level, holds it up and presses well up top. A balance of both experience and youth is needed in any team, especially one that could have -12 points by September! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekingofbuxton Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Although he is experienced at our level, his goals to games ratio is pretty far from what we need. After letting Chris Martin leave this move would be a real step backwards in my opinion. I hope its not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 10 & 13 goals in the 2 seasons for Millwall prior to joining Stoke. Jed Wallace was supplying the ammunition and got 9 assists one season (although only 2 the next), this season without Gregory he got 13 assists Idon't know if that shows that Gregory was missing a lot of chances it that Wallace is very hot and miss? Either way its not really a surprise he hasn't scored many this season when his supply line for the most part was James McClean & Voldemort. All that said... Hmmmm, no thanks, I don't think. When laughing at the Stoke forum last season I never got the impression he was pulling up any trees with his general play or that they felt he was unlucky to have a low goal count.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 31, doesn't score many goals, no resale value. For what it would cost to sign he we might as well have upped our offer to Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuff264 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I'm really not sure we're definitley going to be in for a striker, at least not as a priority Bring in a right winger and you free Waghorn to play up front more, combined with Marriott and JHI is good options I dont really rate him but Waghorn is much better than Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one of those risks, if we're only playing one up front cant you really justify having 4 strikers? Maybe, but its way down the priorities. There are positions we haven't got a starter let alone depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 In order of priority I think we need 1. Winger 2. Goalkeeper 3. Centre-half 4. Centre forward as a bare minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
