Why have I only just twigged that nixon has said we have bid for a perm for 13m and so have sheff utd but they are offering less upfront
@Scout73 maybe I did something good for context I scouted this lad and suggested him to a few on here a couple weeks ago
His whole game from what I saw was based on fox in the box, not sure a team 21st in the xG table will get him many goals
Straight into a relegation battle. Swansea at home first up if he signs in time, what a game to make your debut in
Ah it was a Cam tweet! Still a load of waffle then That wasn't a real reaction from RLB - it was a joke by Cam
He’s become the player that people feel necessary to point out every time he bends over and ties his laces as a positive every match thread. Good pass Neil. Good tackle Neil. Good waving of your arms Neil.. Was O’nien last season. Making simple passes or tackles and receiving the ball and taking a player out of the game isn’t spectacular it’s what he’s there for. Calling out when he breaks up dangerous phases of play or instigates good pieces of play on our behalf then fair enough but making a 5 yard pass in your own half between a few opposition players isn’t really that. Every single 6 in football does it several times a game. He’s going to receive the ball probably 30+ times a match at a very minimum I’d expect him to beat the press more often than not. I don’t think he’s a bad player by any means he’s good at this level I just don’t think as good as some of our fans make out and I think he’d be easily replaced.
I think Regis gave it away by not saying no, and a smirk we are obviously after a different type of striker
It’s great when you get some French bloke capable of such magic in early doors and you know the rest of the existing team as a whole are canny. with previous seasons it’s been “please for the love of god sign a striker”
