I always thought Eaves second touch was a tackle...Couldn't trap a proverbial 'bag of cement'. The lad must have had a right purple patch at Gillingham, a bit like Bradley Dack, whom I noticed as being released by Blackburn, along with Brereton-Diaz.
I don’t understand either, even weirder when you factor in the the 15-20mill KLP money….. I don’t get it
If some of the wages discussed on here are anywhere near the mark then the accounts should make very interesting reading indeed.
I think last summer was exciting but as bad as any recent Allam transfer window. Appreciate the ambition but they’ve set us back in terms of being ambitious at present IMO. They talk about not being patient but the only way I feel we’d have a chance of making top 6 is if they gamble on the clubs short term future.
. But doesn’t FFP prevent that? If he’s gonna spend a lot, the. He has to get big wage earners of the books.
"He's hit 13 in 34 league games for us in his first season in English football," Howdentiger2 Or 0.38 goals per game. Keith Edwards and Ken Wagstaff both managed about 0.46 goals per game, over their City careers, that's as good as it gets for us..
FFP is supposed to prevent it but doesn’t mean they can’t still spend beyond our means. Fortunately they won’t
Blown my mind a bit to read that Haji Wright is at Antalyaspor. I must be mixing up recent City targets because I thought he played somewhere decent. Certainly didn't occur to me that he'd been dicking about in the same team as Sinik the last 6 months.
Some clubs (derby and some others also) try to short circuit FFP by spunking the rules and gambling on promotion before the EFL catches up with them, by which time they're under the jurisdiction of the Premier league and FFP headroom is much greater. Some have got away with it, some haven't and it doesn't look like Acun is going to be that kind of owner.
If him and Sinik can dick about in our team for the next six months and both contribute the same amount, we'll be laughing.
A 1 in 3 goal ratio works out at 15 goals a season over 46 games, then you've got at least two cup games as well. Most Championship strikers who average that over multiple seasons go on to play in the Premier League.
How can that be true when his passing stats are so bad? For successful passes he's in the 1st percentile, for pass completion rate he's in the 10th percentile, and for key passes he's in the 26th percentile.
