I am not sure about this. Normally the goalkeeper at the bottom of the league has great stats. So many shots to save puts them in the shop window. The only counter example I can think of is whoever finished bottom year before last. They had a terrible keeper with the worst stats in the league. He was no better in the Championship either...

Surely this club dropped him eventually?
 
From my St Pauli mate:

St Pauli fans love him. Apparently the new trainer plays a system that he doesn’t fit in. If we could get him, that would be a good purchase. He‘s young, strong and fast WITH an end product.
He’s a winger so presumably would be in place of a high price signing there like Jack Clarke. Maybe even in place of Ryan Fraser.

Would assume he wouldn’t cost too much as he is second division German club with a current valuation of €3m. Presume it is for us and not Goetzpe? Since he is Turkish …
Seems a bit too high a fee for that
 
The only thing that worries me about Saad, it would be a very Brighton signing, and Brighton have St Pauli’s old manager, and they haven’t signed him…
 
Evanilson to Bournemouth. Excellent replacement for Solanke.
Only thing I can see is a bid rejected. Were we linked once or was that fans suggesting players? Seems like it will be a big fee. €35m on transfermarkt - and he scored 13 goals last year in Portugal for one of the top teams. Shows you what the striker market is like (at least if you focus on goals only which unsurprisingly most people tend to)

Provided he brings his end product with him from Hamburg and it isn't held up by brexshit bureaucracy. (I know, no politics, I'm a naughty boy and deserve a sound thrashing.)

This should give people an indication of what the striker market is like. This and Rutter for 40m to Brighton. It’s massive money for acceptable/good returns in B tier leagues. It’s not really a surprise we have struggled to recruit in this area both this summer and for many years

At some point I’m tempted to look at all the strikers who have moved and for what price. Need more time for that

I remember doing that at the end of the season Armstrong really struggled and I’m sure I came to the conclusion that is no one we could have got in a similar bracket who would have definitely got us the goals he didn’t. It came down to the one who was the closest comparison at the time - Edouard - for a bigger fee and bigger wages and (at that time) not much better a record (I think I mean after one season in the prem not records at prior club)
