RUSSEL85 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I actually think this isn’t a bad move, he will have something to prove and with new signings may get more support. He wasn’t a first choice but he we know he can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still massively frustrated though. Before he moved to Stoke, there'd be much more enthusiasm for this move. If I remember correctly, lots of people wanted him in the window where we ended up with Diony. Don't let the Stoke spell fool you - he's a good player and knows the league. Just had a barren patch recently. Attribute wise, he's exactly what we need in my opinion. Could be a very shrewd signing. Less of a risk than an unknown player from abroad and not some journeyman on his last legs. Would've preferred Reid - but this might be a really good deal.

Dredd Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Had a tough couple of seasons but is a number 9 and will hit double figures I reckon. Stoke a tough place to play last season. I do think this signing was a long way down Johnson’s list of preferred strikers however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Don’t think so, pretty sure today was the last day for any transfers. Only L1 & L2 can loan in players until end of August But I think Afobe could do well in our side, had a few bad seasons now but definitely a goalscorer in there somewhere Hopefully LJ and the rest of the coaching staff can bring the best out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke were poor and are hardly known for attacking play. We attack far more so he'll score more. Not sure if he'd work in a 2 with Diedhiou though?

Red white and red Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Not sure why people are dismissing Afobe. He’s been there and done it and is a decent champ striker. Not our first choice, but a decent signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible they weren't willing to let Afobe go until that move happened. I've liked Afobe for years and if he finds his form I'm confident he'll be very good for us.

Surprised he is only 26 seems to have been around for a longer time than that. Very talented player a couple or three years ago, hopefully he still has it - much more mobile than Diedhiou.
