Leicester Ram Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Maybe won't be so bad if we miss out on Vaughan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Good with both feet, decent in the air, relatively fast and technically sound. We could do a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Has there been an actual article linking us with Russell? I keep seeing his name in the transfer talk section but don't know of any direct bids or links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randombc Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 His touch at 1:26 is something else! Could you imagine Sammon taking that ball down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yes, good point, I saw a post complaining that a thread got shut down due to lack of a tangible rumour link but haven't seen one on here either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 There have been Derby Telegraph articles saying we've had him watched, was a few seasons ago (actually, there was one from 2012, but I'm sure it was mentioned before that) but we know that Clough likes to track players over a number of years.

North_Stand_Ram Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Steve Nicholsen said we'd watched Russell about a month ago. Not to mention he randomly followed him on twitter out the blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodruffs Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22263443 Dundee United rejected a bid from Italian club Catania of EURO 450K last month (~£380,000) for Johnny Russell. He has 1 year left on his contract. Sounds like he might go for something within our price range - £500K ish? From the YouTube clips he looks like he knows where the goal is (and his record backs that up) - but as has been mentioned on here a few times, the standard is so low in that league that its hard to tell. Even Stephen Pearson looked half decent in the SPL, and he was way below average in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Pearson was a decent player in our promotion season. I'd like him, I'd just prefer Vaughan or Fryatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodruffs Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Pearson - I disagree with you on that. Vaughan for sure, he's got the pedigree in our League so I'd go for him if we could get him (which I doubt, due to his likely wage aspirations). Fryatt - yes please, but why would Hull sell him? - he's scored loads of goals for them (25 in 72 games) and they're not going to be under any pressure to sell, having just won promotion. I'd say out of those 3, Russell is far and away the most likely, Vaughan an unlikely but possible and Fryatt a no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think this is a Le Fondre situation, always highly rated and often talked about taking a chance on them. Reading DID take a chance on him and he hasn't looked that out of place in the PL this year. I think this is the one stand out striker that we should take a risk on.
