There's definitely a player in there, he was excellent at Forest & one of the key reasons they got promoted. Arguably the standout in a poor season for Watford too. Needs to be more consistent with his goal output for sure but, similar to some of our pickups, he has all the attributes you'd look for. I'd certainly have backed MR to get him firing. £1m is an absolute steal, Villa should have cashed in after his loan at Forest when his stock was at its highest.

It's funny how quickly football moves really, you'd probably argue that Villa have moved forward a fair bit since then themselves

Other than us, Hull, Blues and Stoke all had a decent window

Stoke have made another 3 signings this week including Wout Burger for £4.3m today and these two:

Mehdi Leris & Nikola Jojic: Stoke City sign Sampdoria forward and Serbian winger

Stoke City sign Sampdoria forward Mehdi Leris and Serbia Under-21 winger Nikola Jojic for undisclosed fees.

Imho, Piroe to Leeds for £10m (1 year left on contract), shows what a good deal we made with Gyokeres to S.Lisbon.

I would have thought Everton might go for him

I genuinely don't think they can afford him

Gyokeres is substantially better though

When prem clubs can’t afford ten million for a player they are in huge trouble.

 

[SBT]

For the purposes of an argument (assuming he’d sign for us instead of Leeds etc), would anyone here rather we signed Piroe for £10m instead of Wright and Simms for a similar price?

No because we would again have been reliant in n a single striker so injury away from nothing.

Whilst you, i, and the whole of SBT can agree on that, Swansea fans wouldn't, i'm sure.
Its all about opinions.

Doesn't really matter what they think of how they were three years ago though. What matters is as of now, Gyokeres has far far more influence over a game as a whole and can carry a team, unlike Piroe.

Hence why he went for double the fee.

Again...i agree with you that Gyok is better, but if you went by stats alone, Piroe looks the better goalscorer.
Piroe 41 goals in 91, Gyok 38 in 91 (plus when on loan, 3 in 19)

His business model doesn’t rely on fuelling an addiction. Unless you’re really into rapeseed oil salad dressing

I drank diesel once , thought it was cherry pop by the tanker full when I was a kid . Must admit it’s kept me going.

I don't understand your point here. He's comparing scoring records in the same league. Culpin scored most of his goals in Non League football and only 2 for us.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

I don't understand your point here.

Not a challenging point to understand tbf.

And Culpin has scored an infinite number more English top flight goals than either of them, so therefore is vastly superior on scoring record.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Culpin owes me 2 pints , he’s a tight c**t

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Hull beating Bristol City. Are they playing all their home games on a Friday this season?

Well neither of them have finished their career and I suspect they will both score more than two top flight goals before they retire.

I drank battery acid once. Police arrested me but couldn’t charge me.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Watched quite a lot of Hull v Bristol City, and Bristol should have scored at least 4 (Hull should have 2 as well) Hull aren't as good as I thought they'd be, and Twine isn't a wide player (which is where they're playing him)

I'm confused, which of these apart from the 2 for us are Top flight? Unless you are counting the Finnish ones?
