Jacki Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Not the player we wanted but if we get his best form out of him could be a v good addition. Let’s give him a chance and get behind him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inbound at least, we can still ship players out- abroard outright for permanent signings or indeed loans to lower Leagues or some foreign Leagues but dates will vary with all these.

But we know he is better than that. He had 18 decent months with Wolves and earned a big money move to the Premier League. He isn't a Premier League striker but neither are Rhodes, Nakhi Wells, Jordan Hugill or most players we have been linked with. Let's see what happens. He has 36 goals in 106 games at this level, which is slightly better than one in three. It's not terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only as much pressure as would have been put on Nketiah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Will hit double figures :laugh:.

BetterRedthanBlue Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Man we sign a player and he gets so much hate because he's not x or y. Afobe is a proven championship striker, he's been playing in a horrendous Stoke team (3 wins since Jones took over). If we can get him playing like he did at wolves then the goals will come. He's a good signing is he the 20 goal striker we all wanted? Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Notgetinya Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 If he’s match fit then this could work out well, loan so low risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br1stolCityBoy Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 He's here on loan. We haven't paid 10 million for him. Up to 5 minutes before the deadline we had no one. At least it's competition and numbers if we have injuries. If he gets his form back in what I think is a better side than Stoke, then he could be a 20 goals plus striker....

CiderHeadDan Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 If this is true I’m not sure how I feel about this. I remember in league one he looked an outstanding talent, and repeated that form into the championship. However he’s had a poor spell since joining Bournemouth and then Stoke. Ive always seen him as a powerful striker who was clinical (although my views about being clinical has been reserved after the last couple of seasons). I’m welcoming of his signing, if it’s true, and will reserve my judgement on him as I think he’s a bit of a wildcard - I know I’m sitting on the fence!

Red Army 75 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 He’s here now and let’s not blame him for wants gone on before. Could be class like wilbraham . Welcome BA I ain’t getting on no plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAZ MICHAELS Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I don't know whether this will be a good signing or not, but one thing I have learnt over recent years is that if he's being written off on here then he'll probably turn out to be decent.

pigeon Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 So funny seeing people moaning about this... We literally were down to the wire and we've pulled out Benik Afobe. Are any of you seriously suggesting we'd be better off with nothing, which is where we were about 45 minutes ago? Looking at our incomings and lack of outgoings this window, brilliant work by the club. Yes it would have been nice to have Nketiah, but we've got a proven Championship goal scorer and some fantastic additions to the rest of the team with Pereria, Masssengo, Nagy, and Afobe, all in the past 5 days!

Wardie Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 He's probably about 19th choice, but I'm not unhappy at this signing. Proven at championship level. Harsh to judge him just on his time at Stoke, could well be just wrong club for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many setting up to scream abuse at the club for not signing a striker and have now had to change it to getting angry about who we`ve actually signed. FWIW I think he`s a good player who was shabbily treated by Wolves and Stoke and has a point to prove. Welcome Benik, tear it up son! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
