AshtonGreat Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Apologies if this has already been spoken about, but what a sensational goal from our old boy. Almost as good as Fam's... https://twitter.com/FulhamFC/status/1224273432273137666?s=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturny Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Great goal. I miss his agility. Such a quick whizzy player with a powerful strike. He does need a partnering tall striker with him though most of the time. I think when he played up top on his own with Cardiff he struggled.

Weird, and a shame, how he's ended up on much the same level as us, albeit with a probably bigger pay packet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 What a player. Went to the wrong team in Cardiff. But with the right team I reckon he might do it in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the premier league with Cardiff he scored 5 goals at a rate of 1 every 284 minutes (just worse than 1 in 3 games, or if you averaged it over a full league season, it would be 12 goals). Given the lack of consistency, how bad cardiff were, and the style, I don't think that's too bad at all. I think he'd be more than capable of playing for a more suitable club in the Premier League.

Yep. Their fans were saying he should be playing all season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman Original Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Certainly was a lovely goal. What I had to smile at though was all the fans behind the goal with those god awful clapper things. Just hope we never, ever go down that road.

"Undisclosed" fee, reported to be about £10m, but the loan fees they've paid will complicate that I'd imagine. Cardiff paid us somewhere between £8 and £10 million depending who you read. So, probably not, or not much. I suspect we'll make less from sell ons in the future because we're a bit more canny about selling nowadays.

Anything coming into the club afterwards is a bonus . If a player runs down his contract I suppose the selling club would miss out on any potential profit as there wouldn’t be any.

It'd be difficult in the sense they are both very good players on their day. Emotionally not so much. I'm grateful for their efforts whilst they were here but I care about us going up rather than how they feel and, as professionals, I'm sure they would put their own emotions aside and get on with the job for their new club. I think my biggest question would be whether our tendency to win away at Fulham extends across the whole of London or only counts at their home ground...

Our record in London in the league this season is W2 D1 L1 (wins at QPR and Fulham, draw at Brentford and lost at Charlton). We also won at AFC Wimbledon in pre-season and drew at QPR in the League Cup only to lose on penalties. Away at Millwall at the end of this month is our final scheduled London game.

I had in my head that I couldn't make Millwall away but I've just realised that I made that up and I actually can! Might not have realised until it was too late otherwise. Not sorted my Leeds ticket yet but I might get to every away game this month bar Huddersfield. Quite pleased about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
