Transfer Rumour Haji Wright (9 Viewers)

[CCFCSteve]

One thing for sure is that €24m Gyokeres deal for a player with one year left on his contract and totally unproven above Championship level was a stonker and possibly a pivotal game changer for this club.

The calibre of signings in the two weeks since has been fantastic.

Exactly this, our net spend is next to nothing even if Wright is £7m upfront

Well we already know you can sign a highly rated young PL striker with a decent Championship/L1 scoring record, AND the best wing-back in the Eredivisie for roughly the same price upfront as we’re paying for Wright. Personally I was expecting us to keep on that track if we still had money in the bank.

Wright has a 1 in 2 strike rate in the Turkish league which was better than Simms’ strike record in the Championship. Two strikers with a good strike rate is what are fans have been craving for - well, until it’s a player they know nothing about.

How could you not be excited at the prospect of having both of these players upfront?

Wh

Is 4 years really that crazy? Think normal for top clubs. We perhaps just used to these short term one or two year deals?

Keeps their value, we have seen with Gyorkeres and now Hamer once it gets to one year or become a buyers market.

I'm starting to think the King of Shaves sponsor deal is an FFP ruse. Can plonk extra money in through that cant we?

Yep.

It’s Whitney Houston - wash your mouth out.

I know who it is ffs - but it’s one of her worst songs

He could be in trouble then as Vik only cost us £1m so Wrights gonna have to score in excess of 100 goals this season (maybe even 150 if 7m+ fee is to be believed) to keep you happy

You know it doesn’t work that way though. Should we expect a lot of him once he’s bedded in…of course, but let’s give the lad a chance. If he helps in improve the team then happy days. Robins is making the call. Kings supporting him. Let’s keep it positive until we see stuff to change our minds

I think it’ll take a while for the team to gel and work out how each other best plays. I’m not expecting instant results from anyone. For the money though if Wright and Simms don’t get 30 between them I’d have some serious questions about letting Robins loose with that much money again.

 

[shmmeee]

His record is 1 in 2 the last two seasons in a league ranked basically the same as the championship. Fans are generally pretty poor judges, is that a good evidence base?

I posted a video earlier where he scored 2 in and got an assist yet you could see where fans could get critical of him because he can look clumsy.

I think that’s what it comes down to. I don’t rate the Turkish league as highly as some do.

Yeah but will Mark Robins play Simms and Wright together

I can’t say I watch any Turkish football I’m only going off the global rankings.

Watch much?

Didn't think so

It’s the most money he’s been given in his managerial life - he must be feeling like a kid in a sweet shop

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Yes. In terms of AMs, we only have Palmer and Sakamoto available.

Starting Godden ahead of two big money signings is just ridiculous if Simms and Wright are match fit and ready to go.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Well, I've got a song for him.

Scores with his left
And we're having a good time
Scores with his right
And we know that we feel fine
Slams it in the net
Ha..Ha...Haji Amir Wright!

We’ve got the song thanks…

FIGHT and WIN…

And as we’ve discussed in previous pages, there’s very little to suggest that a good strike rate in Turkey will mean he’ll be successful here.

With Wright we’re betting on his attributes and his ability to develop. I trust Robins and our scouts to do that because they’ve got a good track record with that. I don’t necessarily trust their decisions about spending loads of money on foreign signings though, because we’ve literally never done that this century. £7 million is a lot of money, it doesn’t come around for us very often, and while no-one wants to be the nerd who warns the lottery winner to invest cautiously rather than on a yacht or something, someone has to do it.

(Still, I promise I am actually kind of stoked about the yacht though!)

I thought something like that when it was first announced

You'd like to think so.

The same could be said if we spent that money on just about any player.

Do we trust MR and his recruitment team to make an inform decision? Yes. Most people, including myself, aren’t making informed opinions on this player.

I’ve only seen Wright play at the World Cup and he looked handy. He has a lot of attributes that suit our style of play so I think it’ll be a really good match.

It’ll be the same bloke who is banned from Twitter. Fair play to him in finding a new way to expose the clubs signings
