no but he is 1 in every other game in a good league since thenI do. Plus is this guy really worth that? I get that he has probably improved a lot since then, but 0/22 in Holland isn't great.
Whats his nickname then? Anyone thought of any good ones?
Odd that we would spunk so much on Haji but not what was needed on McNally.
Yes every transfer is a risk, but the more you spend the bigger the risk.Yes, but you could argue that any transfer is a risk, from here or abroad. Same could happen with players from Scotland, Ireland, heck we had that young lad from Swansea that lasted one training session.
And when they get here, we find they can't cope with our style of play. It's a risk but you make decisions on what you know and the rest is chance.
It was 1 in 23, he scored in the cup!I do. Plus is this guy really worth that? I get that he has probably improved a lot since then, but 0/22 in Holland isn't great.
Worth noting that both of these players were unholy flops in English football - American strikers don’t have a great record over here.With his current career trajectory I’d say he’s somewhere between Jovan Kirovski and Jozy
The bigger the spend the more homework we’ll have done to be sure it fits. Considering this would be a record fee especially soYes, but you could argue that any transfer is a risk, from here or abroad.

Mr Dike has done ok when fit.Worth noting that both of these players were unholy flops in English football - American strikers don’t have a great record over here.
Had many a tug over Miley in my late teens
Clint Dempsey was decent. I get your point though.American strikers don’t have a great record over here.
It doesn't but it allows folk to whingeIt was 1 in 23, he scored in the cup!
He's scored consistently for the last three years, not sure his record from 4 years ago when he was 20yrs old matters that much.
But he's not a striker?If we get this over the line I suspect our 4th striker will be the Man U kid on loan.
Not arsed what they think , they've signed loads of kids and weetabix legs Bradley dack
I'd be surprised to be honest. We've got Simms and possibly now Wright. You'd imagine both will start. It will now be hard to attract a loan striker to sit on the bench. Yes they would get game time over a season, but not guarenteed.If we get this over the line I suspect our 4th striker will be the Man U kid on loan.
You definitely have a tugging fetish.Had many a tug over Miley in my late teens
Yes guaranteed unless we expect two players to play all 46 gamesI'd be surprised to be honest. We've got Simms and possibly now Wright. You'd imagine both will start. It will now be hard to attract a loan striker to sit on the bench. Yes they would get game time over a season, but not guarenteed.
not really, they'd be around the first team so would gain good experience away from the world of the u21 league.I'd be surprised to be honest. We've got Simms and possibly now Wright.

Can’t see it, we’d need to have 4 ideally.Wonder if Godden would be sold if we got another Striker in?
Maybe we're moving towards a 3-4-3 setup?I'd be surprised to be honest. We've got Simms and possibly now Wright. You'd imagine both will start. It will now be hard to attract a loan striker to sit on the bench. Yes they would get game time over a season, but not guarenteed.
I'd forgot about 'dreNo doubt when he fails to score in the first 15 minutes of his debut it'll be: 'Andre Wright'.
Shudder. - Just checked, he's had 7 clubs in 3 years at pretty minnow league levels.
It's not a good league, though, that's my other concern. All the same am hoping he will be amazing, ofc.no but he is 1 in every other game in a good league since then
Teams who loan players out generally want them to start and get game experiance. Loans are often cut short because the player is not getting enough minutes on the pitch. We've even done it ouself with Cashman.not really, they'd be around the first team so would gain good experience away from the world of the u21 league.
nah, he fits in the 3-4-1-2 system we have been playingMaybe we're moving towards a 3-4-3 setup?
not all loans, loans were that happens are usually higher profile players than then ones we will be looking at. Yes there will be a higher fee to pay but that is all.Teams who loan players out generally want them to start and get game experiance.

If we sign him they will start togetherFrom the highlight videos, looks to me like Wrighty and Simmo play in a similar style. So I don't think they will start together. Potentially, I think one of them with Godden will be the front line for Leicester. We could still be looking for another small terrier style striker (like Chaplin, Speedie, Godden 5 yrs ago) to be our fox in the box.
Or Robins could be sticking with the one striker up front and these two will have to fight amongst themselves to start. And use Godden/another to be able to change it up if we need more attacking options during games. A Champ season is long so players will need to be swapped around.
I agree he would fit into that, but I thought someone had said that Robins was looking to slightly change the system? In any case, we surely won't play the same way in every game.nah, he fits in the 3-4-1-2 system we have been playing
