Transfer targets (13 Viewers)

Still a resounding no from me . We've gone past giving aging players a final payday .
We play decent football and Kieffer Moore isn't a striker that plays that style .
Loan or buy a young player but give Simms more game time
Kieffer Moore is a massive step backwards

I think he's exactly the sort of player we need on a short term contract. We have three strikers and desperately need more depth especially as Simms needs time to develop.

Thankfully, you’re not in charge of recruitment. He strikes me as a player of yesteryear.

That and his wages will probably be above what we’d want to pay.

Remember Robert Rosario, not a prolific goalscorer but he was a handful and created a lot of space for others.

I’d disagree on the Scottish league - the league itself is not well exposed, but Celtic get a ridiculous amount of coverage all over the world.

there’s still the perceived notion they should be better in Europe because they were half decent at Celtic park

They do get exposure. But if they had a decent opponent most weeks they would get a lot more. Who wants to see Rangers v Celtic evey week or one of them against a side they don't have a clue about in a one sided game?

They want to see action. The Prem has the money but the Championship has the best games. Will start a thread when I have time on the insights of a foreigner who loves football.

Apart from the money issue, Moore is completely unsuited to the way we play so can’t see this happening for a minute. I don’t think Robins has ever played with a big target man in the last 7 years and suspect he won’t in the foreseeable future. Moore is the type of striker that is very easy to isolate and nullify, but might add something to a team like Rotherham.
No, no and no again.

Why go for Moore when you could offer Plymouth a quick profit on Whittaker? Outperforming his xG by double and also one of the best ball carrying forwards in the division.

Congratulations, you’ve won the award for stupidest question of the day

And you’ve won the award for knob head of the day

My son in law to be is a Plymouth supporter

He wasn't happy with our goal when the ball went out and now Stoke have taken their manager. He stayed with us over New Year. Think i may have wound him up a little. He'd never come back if we also bought Whittaker as well

We could bid £30 million for him but presumably they’d just hold out for us to bid even more next season?

 

[shmmeee]

Really want that Pereira lad now. Think he’s just what we’re missing. Which means it’s never going to happen. Never fall in love with a YouTube clip.

Young South American International who can ping the ball all over the pitch. Love at first sight.

Yes, isn't it strange, presumably they wouldn't sell Whittaker unless the offer is too good to turn down, yet people are worried we will lose Sakamoto the minute someone comes knocking.

 

[SBAndy]

Moore as a short term loan I could get on board with. Think the current system lends itself well to a target man. However, as much as Simms isn’t scoring a great deal at the moment it’s not causing us issues so is it worth persevering? Depends what this season’s ambition is.

Hope your next scoop has more wit than that

I’ve heard we’ve had an offer from Fulham for our star striker, roughly 400k

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Outperforming his xG by double

It is staggering but what I would say is unless you’re a top class player (Son Heung Min, Harry Kane examples I can think of) there is, eventually, regression to the mean.

Doubling your xg isn’t generally a good sign long term

Moore is slower than Fadz , doesn't suit our current style of play in any way

I don't think Moore is Robins type of player, he sold of Clarke Harris all those seasons ago.

Why not?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Why not?

I think it would suggest you’re scoring goals that you shouldn’t be - so the likelyhood is it’ll stop.

if you’ve scored 5 35 yard screamers odds are you’re not gonna score 20 of them

 

[TomRad85]

Why not?

Yeh I'm with you on this one. If you're scoring goals you aren't expected to score, we used to call that being good. Not on board with this not being a good stat.

[David O'Day]

Why not?

because it's usually an indicator you have hit a purple patch where luck and opposition mistakes have played a large part in a number of your goals

some players can do it over long periods but they don't as a rule tend to play for plymouth

 

[skybluecam]

Why not?

Because even the most clinical players in the world can’t maintain that (e.g. Harry Kane has scored ~1.4x his npxg over the last year).

I suppose my point wasn’t that out scoring your xg itself is bad, but xg is a better long term indicator than goals scored.

 

[Matt smith]

XG

 

[Terry_dactyl]

But I don’t want this to detract from the actual purpose of the thread, so Kieffer Moore , big lad up top, scores goals in the league , we already have Simms for that. But if it helped push us up the league, I wouldn’t be against signing him. Would be great strength in depth to have

Good player but word in Cardiff is that he’s a done deal to sign with them.

 

[JSL]

I thought Cardiff had a transfer embargo and were boke or has that since changed?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Aren’t they still under an embargo? How are they signing players like him, Robinson and Grant

XG XG - nobody cares ffs

They're not under embargo anymore

Embargo was cut by one transfer window.
