Sturman 1 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I'd do it purely for the comedy factor and if it was below 500k. Imagine the meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Will probably be gone to a Championship club in January and may well do nothing if he ain't the main man at a bigger club, he basically got no pressure playing in front a few fans and a shoite "stadium". I certainly wouldn't want him here - although it would be funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFC II Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 For under 500k I’d take the punt Anything over and it’s not worth it.

Simon bristol Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I wouldnt go for him, not because he might not be a decent player, but because we have needed an out and out championship goal scorer for a while, we have a fee agreed for afobe which im assuming will be 6 million plus, and have just sold 30 odd million of players so the money is there for that higher calibre of player. If we sold semenyo and wanted someone from a lower league to see if they could take that spot and step up, then jch might be a decent shout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We likely paid a loan fee, paying whatever % of his wages- we'll probably be paying his wages until January at the earliest. Regards the £30m- that is NOT in a large pot for wages and fees. Allowable losses, operating losses etc etc. We can spend SOME of it on a higher calibre striker perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Worth it to boil their piss once again- does he have a nice old moderate buyout clause, and perhaps he'd be one we can make a profit on him? In general, nope- probably not what we need at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Nope. And not because he’s gas. I think it was @Major Isewater who made the point recently that league one is a no mans land with no media coverage. However, as was noted, it’s more than that - as the gap between the PL and the championship (other than the top 6) has narrowed, the gap between league 1 and our level has increased. There are exceptions - eg Lyle Taylor is on a streak and it remains to be seen if it lasts - but perennially you’re playing against far worse players. It’s almost a totally different game and any player at L1 or L2 is a huge gamble if they can make the step up. Add to that this is a player who has had one short burst of form having not done great things prior (including at this level) and is there any reason to be interested? Any other L1 player with those metrics we shouldn’t be so let him carry on as the nonentity he is with the nonentity club he’s at. The comedy value of not giving them a penny and seeing this freakish run of form run to an end will more than outweigh any cheap laughs from taking him.

Red-Robbo Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Worth it for the LOLZ, surely? If he can't make the step up, loan him out to one of their L1 rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL however seems very old fashioned in the sense that if he said it, I strongly suspect he would stick to it. Who wants a Chairman like that, really.
