I'd far rather we spent any money we have elsewhere on the squad preferably on someone who will start games. Realistically we aren't going to find anyone to play ahead of Simms and Wright.
For some reason certain posters took against him before he'd even played for us. As a result they have constantly wanted him out despite his amazing scoring record based on minutes played and evidence like the Cup Semi Final when he looked every bit the part against Manchester United.
I think he was generally only brought on late.
Although its only Trinidad, its still impressive he's got a couple of caps.
Was pretty good towards the end of the season. Am i completely sold on him? No... but imo he's worth keeping around and if we can improve him as we have shown we can do with many others, he may save us a few quid.
I expect he’ll be loaned out until Christmas if we bring in more strikers because they’ll want to see how he gets on playing regularly before offering him a new deal.
I understand the logic of this however unless you can stipulate in the loan contract a minimum amount of games/ minutes played you have little control. Owen and Rooney were 16 when they first played in the Premiership. The only way you can see if someone can play that standard is to let them have a go. What may work would be each of them go out for half a season, 1 now the other Jan so they can be the 4th striker and get some real experience of Championship football.
Well, unless we have a load of injuries (which could happen), would he already be 3rd striker behind simms? ie if Simms gets injured, Wright would go up top and EMC out wide?
