DCFC1388 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Zohore does fit into what Cocu has said today in terms of something different to what we have, but also then he mentioned about clubs loaning players out and then wages being high so we have to be clever in what we do, Zohore has had a pay rise with West Brom getting promotion so he would fit into the being available on loan but high wages (50k per week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodley Ram Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I have to admit, he causes defenders problems but Im not sure about him being at Derby, which means he will sign , play on Saturday and get a hat trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attitude this window seems very much about getting good value for what we spend and making the money we have stretch. They have all been low risk signings whilst fitting the bill we want. You'd expect Zahore will cost a reasonable amount, be on good wages and for that we get someone who's record is patchy to say the least. Not to say he wouldn't come good but it's a big risk. This feels like a signing we'd make in 2015 not 2020. I agree. It feels like a red herring & wouldnt be surprised if we're putting out some misinformation to hide our real targets. Less bothered about his goalscoring record so long as he complements the team as a whole but like you say, he's likely to be expensive also. Would imagine Championship is the last place we'll be looking for players unless there is exceptional value to be had (i.e. being able to pick up Marshall & Byrne in the Wigan firesale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 This whole thing's been a misunderstanding, someone wasn't listening properly when they were being told out main striking targets. It's not Kenneth we're trying to sign, no, it's Bobby. Bobby Zamora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I get your point. I thought Jerome did ok but was far from excellent. To be honest I think the reason people didn't like the signing is because it was symptomatic of how Rowett made short term decisions at the expense of the long term health of the squad.

Oh agree im not saying he was excellent but he certainly did the job he was assigned to do to our benefit. ie be a foil for vydra and co, run the channels, Drag defenders.... and totally agree it was the short termism that upset people He wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea and certainly wasn’t mine but we don’t live in a Man City eutopia where we can have the pick ... he did a job and I kinda feel Derby have been too nice for a while... never harms to have that rough house option in the locker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A physical target man, possibly with a bit of pace, ideally good with his feet is what I expect we are currently scouting for. I suspect it's why we are linked with Zahore albeit in his case I doubt we are seriously interested because it just doesn't fit the MO we've had this window.

Anag Ram Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I think I'd rather have someone who's currently scoring goals albeit abroad or at a lower level in this country than someone like Ibe or Zohore that hasn't been in form for a long time. Especially when both seem to think they're worth paying large sums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least taking a punt on somebody unknown to this league and not a donkey that has been average in however many season of Championship football.

We pay 10k ish and they pay the rest. We might get a player out of our price range wage wise for a year, give us chance to further get our finances in order and keep scouting, developing JHI and stretton and you never know he might score 20 goals and fire us to promotion. Every signing in football is a risk. Doesn't matter if the player is bang in form or utter dross at the moment. He wouldn't be the first striker to change clubs and hit formz he wouldn't be the first striker to change clubs and flop. Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham did it a few seasons back and he took them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
