Is it? Who's the best side he's scored against? Barnsley, Brighton, Blackburn, Leeds, Forest, Huddersfield, Birmingham and Burton are the only sides he's scored against this season. I don't see a top side like a Hull or a Cardiff on that list.
Meh, if he scores against everyone else in the league then I'd be happy. Rather that than spend £2.6m on a striker to only score against Ipswich and Leyton Orient
He was playing for Millwall for God's sake. It takes more than one player to score a goal. We've outplayed most sides this season, we just haven't had that finishing touch. We have now. I don't think Hull fans should be lecturing us on expensive strikers that can only score passed ****e sides!
Doesn't bother me, wasn't my money. I made my point, you knew I was right, you had to bring back the Proschwitz argument which is totally irrelevant.
I addressed you "point" in the firs paragraph. How do you expect him to score for Millwall against sides that have the ability to play Millwall off the park? Few, if any, teams in this division can play better than us. It doesn't bother you? Has it not occurred to you that Hull could have run away with this division if that £2.6m had been spent wisely? You are now in a very vulnerable 2nd spot and have the most expensive sub outside the top flight. Well done.
Actually he can't have scored against Hull because he didn't play against you and he only played 30 minutes against Cardiff when he made his debut. It's a ridiculous argument anyway. He's only played for us against Huddersfield and Burton and he's been superb in both games. He's scored 3 goals. Is a good striker one that scores 20 goals a season but none against the 'top sides' better than one that scores 6 a season one against each of the top 6? Anyway, like Gangsta said, Hullare hardly the team to be lecturing us on strikers.
No, it doesn't bother me one bit. We're playing great football and that's all that bothers me. If we've got an expensive sub, I couldn't care less. If we go up, great. If we don't, doesn't bother me. Millwall are 7th, 4 points behind you and they beat you. So the argument that he couldn't score against any good teams because the players around him weren't good enough is a fairly poor one. AKCJ summed it up nicely, he's only played twice for you, against 2 sides enormously lacking in any real ability. The side bottom of the form table and a side that's mid-table in League Two. As for having the most expensive sub outside the Premier League, again, you're just quite blatantly wrong. Off the top of my head, the likes of Jamie O'Hara, Zigic, Goodwillie, Sordell, N'Gog, etc are all regularly substitutes and all cost more than Proschwitz.
None of which cost more than 2.6m and if they did they were in the PL at the time or would still demand that transfer fee.
If Proschwitz had cost nothing and Aluko had cost £2.6m, then nobody would bat an eye, despite the outcome being exactly the same. The fact is, we didn't spend £2.6m on Proschwitz, but even if we had, it's all we spent and we brought in Aluko, Quinn, Faye, Bruce, Proschwitz and Jakupovic, that is exceptional value for money.
Zigic - £6 million. O'Hara - £3.5 million. Goodwillie - £2.8 million. Sordell & N'Gog were undisclosed but both believed to be over the fee of Proschwitz. When you say none of those were more than £2.6 million, are you going to argue that £6 million is less than £2.6 million? What difference does it make if they were in the Prem or not? You are now in a very vulnerable 2nd spot and have the most expensive sub outside the top flight. Was the quote. Not, "you have the most expensive sub who wasn't signed whilst you were in the Premier League that's currently playing in the Championship." For the record, are we supposed to be disappointed that we're in a vulnerable 2nd spot? Like I say, it doesn't bother me if Proschwitz cost £2 million or £20 million, as luckily, it's not coming out my pocket. I just feel I have to pick up on these comments you folk make that are blatant lies.
Was Zigic not signed in the Premier League then? When the club could afford the fee without spending out of their means. He's not a sub, either. As for the rest, they're all young players and have been signed in the PL apart from O'Hara who has been blighted by injuries and would still be playing for Spurs had he not.
Did I not just point out that in Gangsta's original quote he made no reference to Prozzy being the most expensive sub outside the Premier League that wasn't signed in the Premier League. I know I did, but just in case you missed it, I've made it again there. Hope that helps. Obviously we could afford the fee or else we wouldn't have done the deal, we also wouldn't have spent £1.5 mil on Meyler or what's believed to be around £2 mil for Brady this January, and that's before we've made our biggest move of the window, for a striker. You make these points but they have no relevance. What does it matter if O'Hara's had injury problems. He's still a sub, he still cost more than Prozzy, therefore, Gangsta was wrong. It'd be a lot easier if you Leicester lot accepted you'd made a mistake instead of creating a long-winded argument about it.
It's pretty obvious I meant the Prozzie is the most expensive sub signed outside of the Prem. As AKCJ pointed out, paying that sum in the Prem is commonplace, but you're not in the Prem. Do you get a sick thrill from being pedantic? No Championship club can afford to spend £2.6m on a player that doesn't play and if you're happy being 2nd with three teams following right up your ass than running away with the league then fair play, but somehow I doubt it.
I'm afraid it wasn't obvious. In future, if you want to make things obvious, say what you mean. What do you mean by that though, we can't afford to do it? You see because, we may have done just that, but it's not like we're in financial trouble because of it. Really? You think I'm not happy that City are 2nd and playing probably the best football in my time of watching us? Like I say, it doesn't bother me that there are clubs close to us, it wouldn't even both me if those clubs went above us. I watch football for entertainment, that's all really. Things like promotions are just a bonus.
It could be worse, we could have paid that much for a striker, then sent him out on loan while still paying half his wages.
I don't care what anybody else thinks, prossie will prove to be a snip, mark my words I can hear the faint rumblings of a goal avalanche heading towards the championship...I suggest we all "dig in" and pray we survive the blitzkrieg to come.. now he's had a "sniff" of blood I can see double figures by the end of the season... so watch out...
