Transfer Rumour Haji Wright (24 Viewers)

[Finham]

Based on what?

It's OK, I think he's a massive waste of money. Luckily a) Robins is a better manager than me. b) It's not my money

Just looking at comments from USA fans and the like who have watched him. People talk about him like we do Tyler Walker or Bakayoko

The day I listen to an American football fan is the day I give up

No

I've seen mostly positive comments in all fairness .. his record is good

 

[shmmeee]

Just doesn’t vibe for me. Seems a lot on a little.

 

[Evo1883]

No

Well they did tbh , said he was the worst striker to play for them ever

 

[SBT]

Probably the last 5/6 years but I’m only guessing

We have almost no track record of spending this kind of money. It will be the biggest signing either CCFC or Robins has ever made, and quite possibly our first ever signing from Turkey. This is a totally unprecedented signing and I have no idea if it’ll pay off - but it has to.

To be fair , rangers and villareal didn't bid for bakayoko and Walker

Based on what?

Based on how the last two signings over £1 million worked out, or indeed most of them over £500k

Yes provided Wright gets clearance to play in time

Exciting isnt it ?

I don’t think any of those signings compare to this one. Hamer is the closest comparison and was a stunning success but this is totally different - it’s a huge gamble, and if it fails it’s a disaster that could set us back years.

Would love to know what research we have done on this guy. Looks so raw and cumbersome on the clips of him. The comments on him don't exactly fill me with confidence. If we were spending £2m on him I'd could maybe see it.

Mind you I thought Gyokeres was an absolute carthorse on first viewings.

Most of us fans have limited - to put it politely - knowledge of football outside of the league their club plays in and the Prem/UCL. At best, a wider knowledge of the top 5 leagues.

It’s why our threads on potential signings feature familiar names either opponents or ex-players/linked signings.

Our recruitment policy is genuinely exciting and clearly lead by data and with scouts of extensive knowledge of the leagues they’re scouting.

This could seriously pay-off and genuinely challenge for automatics.

What a time to be a Cov fan!

No

Surely it's the same thing. You are just choosing to read the negative ones to suit your own opinion

Godden will Start

 

[SBT]

Who is the last striker from the Turkish SuperLig who had a good goalscoring record in the top two English divisions?

 

[Matt smith]

View attachment 31087team v Leicester?

That’s Josh da Silva

 

[Evo1883]

Godden will Start

More than likely with game time etc

 

[Ccfcisparks]

View attachment 31087team v Leicester?

When did we sign Josh da silva?!

 

[Ash]

When did we sign Josh Dasilva?

EDIT ccfcisparks beat me to it!

 

[Matt smith]

More than likely with game time etc

Yeah exactly, Wright on the bench

 

[Evo1883]

That’s Josh da Silva

Wow ah well he's staying , can't be arsed to change it

 

[Evo1883]

When did we sign Josh da silva?!

Yea yea

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Cant even think of a striker thats moved directly to england.

 

[Evo1883]

Picture didn't come up just name , threw him in .. turns out it's the wrong dasilva

 

[shmmeee]

Well they did tbh , said he was the worst striker to play for them ever

Surely it's the same thing. You are just choosing to read the negative ones to suit your own opinion

Why would I have an opinion?

Calm down, it’s not your money. Just seems a lot of cash for someone we aren’t talking about like the finished article.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I don’t think any of those signings compare to this one. Hamer is the closest comparison and was a stunning success but this is totally different - it’s a huge gamble, and if it fails it’s a disaster that could set us back years.

For the amounts spent in relation to the money we had available I'd say they're comparable. Hamer was our biggest fee since Freddie Eastwood, Gyokeres was a similar amount and paying instalments of the latter was significant enough to disrupt our cashflow just last season. So at the time they also represented considerable gambles on the club's part.

We aren't spending money we don't have.

 

[SBT]

Exciting isnt it ?

And quite scary too!

Incidentally we have signed a striker from Turkey before. Expectations were also high:

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Julie.
Anderton.

Madness, just watched that episode tonight with my son

OK amended

 

[Martin180]

I genuinely don’t get the reluctance to jump on board and enjoy the ride by some on here
Ever since we lost the playoff final we knew Vik was going and possibly Hamer , as it stands we still have Gus
Also we got top money for Vik and also got Sporting to stump up the sell on money to Brighton
Since then we all agreed we needed to own more of our players , especially in defence . We’ve now signed a whole back 5 while retaining Fadz and Bidwell . We have another highly rated goalkeeper to compete with Wilson
And if anyone saw the signings of Simms and now today this Wright fellow then they are liars
We’ve also got Sakamoto who looks like he can change a game , young talent like Burroughs and Howley emerging and the potential for more players coming in
Jump on board , enjoy the ride . This season is going to be special

WE ARE MASSIVE

[SleepyGinger]

I think it will be Lati over Binks too considering he’s only played 45 mins in pre season.

 

[Finham]

Just doesn’t vibe for me. Seems a lot on a little.

Just watched his "highlights" video. 90% of them are him miscontrolling, diving, missing the target or taking the wrong option. Even his goals are mostly deflected and wouldn't go in against Championship GK's. Most insane signing in our history.

Prove me wrong Haji, prove me wrong!
