why do Burnley need him? just hoying money around coz they have it? also *insert the inbetweeners clip here*
I’m glad we have Isador and Mayenda as it’s made me quite relaxed about getting another striker in. Que sera, sera
Aye its nice to be having this squabble over a player who's likely to be a sub. Not saying he wouldn't impact us. Its just usually at this time of the season we're desperate to improve our starting 11. Its nice that these signings are to improve the squad rather than the 11.
Why would that be, can't see any of the money team getting a game for us even with the amount of injuries we have
I think the thing I’m most shocked about with regards to the Tom Cannon links is that their seem’s to be people in here that pay for Nixon’s patreon. May as well just throw the coin into a well.
This ^^ if we get him I'll be chuffed but we've done well without him and we have effectively 3 new players available on Friday. A striker and two midfielders.
Lads, I've done some wikipedia scouting. You're all welcome. Phil Harres from Holstein Kiel. Scored 7 Bundesliga goals in 10 appearances this season for the team second bottom. 6'4 Has played right wing and up front. Known for his "robustness and deep runs". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Harres Transfermarkt has him valued at just 1.5m euro @Scout73 - how've I done?
It will only be ~£7m up front though with additions depending on appearances and goals etc. We are no longer a club that will pay more than a player is realistically worth and strikers always come at a premium. Its about the same as a crocked Ross Stewart and less than a league one striker. If we spend £7-10m for a player that scores enough goals to get us promoted, which is worth a guaranteed £100m, it is worth every penny for me. The fact that Burnley and Sheff Utd are also interested shows it's the kind of siging that can fire a team to promotion and the fee is realistic. I have total faith in our player analytics and transfer dealings.
We are 3 points off the top of the league, we have since signed ELF with others returning from injury. I'd be very happy if we sign Cannon, however if we don't and can keep injuries to a minimum till the end of the season I'd still fancy us for top 2
Was he? I didn't see if so. I'm not going to claim any revolutionary tactics here. I just looked at top scorers list and went for the first one that wasnt valued at over 10m
Wasn't there some ITK who reckons we were in for a versatile forward from the german league? could be him EDIT: Looks like a G/A every 93.5 minutes as well, xG only about 3.3 for his 7 goals so turns half chances into goals as well it seems
I'm all in on Harres. **** Cannon. I'm not even gonna bother scouting any more. I've made my decision. Speakman make it happen.
Here's a twitter thread on Harres: "Any teams looking for an aerially dominant, box presence, instinctive finisher, mobile #9 look no further."
