On the other hand I never cease to be amazed how many players are rumoured or suggested, that I have never heard of. Some of the names I'm convinced are made up!

What is he like at linking play, closing down opponents, does he have the right DNA off the pitch? It also doesn't tell you his goals to shots/chances ratio, just how many he scored. If someone from outside was looking at Tammys record this season they would be unimpressed too, but he has had very, very poor service compared to last season. And his record is actually decent up until this season, was a bizarre comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I take your point, it is not a gamble in the grand scheme of things; we have him on loan for the next three months or so. During that time LJ and his staff will be able to have a good look at him before commiting the club to a substantial transfer fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we're looking for an immediate impact then it remains a gamble of sorts if he is to be our man that we pin our hopes on to progress this season. Very happy to trust in LJ, MA and the team though given where we are at the moment and how they've turned things around so well. Here's hoping he hits the ground running if the rumours are true.

I'm sure he won't be the guy we pin our hopes on. Diedhiou and Reid are those guys. Honestly the idea of us buying a £10m striker now never quite sat right with me, unless he was definitely going to be able to play our game immediately and didn't have stupidly high wages - unlikely. Put it this way - I'd rather give him a go than Woodrow at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way - I'd rather give him a go than Woodrow at the moment. Exactly. Realistically the likes of Afobe, Grabban, Abraham and other names mentioned recently would've been on absurd wages for us. I could never see us paying 8 figures for Hugill either. It sounds like it's a loan with a view to a permanent so low risk, his wages won't break the bank.. having 2 French speaking forwards will benefit both him and Famara. Seems sensible based on those factors if it's true. Can't comment on his ability because I'd never heard of him before this thread! Some decent stats from last season though - 11 goals and 8 assists in 38 games which is pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, personally I'd be fine with at least two of them. Djuric I definitely would like to see back amongst the squad when he's fit, and really I'd like Engvall to make a name for himself.

Luxo Jr. Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's also worth reiterating for anyone joining this late and bemoaning his lack of goals this season, he's playing in a side struggling badly in Ligue 1, so it's not like Neymar and Di Maria are teeing up open goals for him to miss. If Johnson and co want him, he'll have been identified as someone who will fit in the team the terms of style. He and Diedhiou could have a good understanding too.

Shtanley Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I like these kind of signings. He'll have a mate in Diedhiou and he seems like he could compliment Reid. Scored 3 more goals than Diedhiou did last season in Ligue 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
