Lanterne Rouge Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hope so, the club surely won`t hang about telling us if it is under the circumstances will they? Could be an international clearance thing or something I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Grim Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Don't know a thing about this guy, so not going to get to excited. Fingers crossed he makes an impact like our previous foreign import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hopefully the other striker to be confirmed will be a big signing,and not Waghorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Sounds like this one is in advanced stages, perhaps he's the 1 that Johnson indicated he wants, and a bigger name is the "maybe 2" that he also said. Assombalonga please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton_fan Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 This article says he's signing on a 3.5 year deal for 10-15 million (to be announced Wednesday) but also says Kodjia signed for 166 million so we must be paying around £1.3m I reckon: https://www.gp.se/sport/fotboll/engvall-lämnar-blåvitt-klar-för-engelsk-klubb-1.3740422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also said in other threads I think he will play in the Premier League. However, he hasn't made an impact- Abraham has made an impact.

He has played in all 5 league games in which we have won 3 and lost 2, only conceding 5 goals in the process He has scored once, made 17 clearances and has received no yellows or reds He has looked strong, assured and calm in all games I have seen Can't see what more he could do to make more of an impact.....especially as he is only 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before, it's rare that central defenders do make an impact, Tammy has had a big impact because he has had a big effect on all the games he has been involved in. Magnusson has been outstanding, but not necessarily had a big effect on games because that's not what central defenders do. He will only get better, and is already a very good Championship defender. I have tipped him to play in the next division up numerous times- I'm just not sure if it will be with us or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's imperative that we bring in a proven quality striker before tomorrow night.Tammy has been fantastic but he is a young lad and his form will dip at times. The Swedish lad is young and coming from a poor league so I doubt he is an immediate answer. Given that our other striker is 37 and never going to play 90 minutes week in week out we do need to spend a chunk of money - which we now have - in the next 24 hours.

Jesus ******* christ, the initial comment was a joke, I knew the person was referring to Kodjia. But since you ask, he isn't the leader at the back, so organising the defence. That said Flint does it well and is the more experienced defender so that would be his role. I have also said multiple times that defender naturally don't effect games as much.
