INCRED Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Apparently LJ has watched him this season and we may have more than a passing interest in him this summer. We have not got a great recent track record regards Scottish players but having watched him a few times on TV he looks a decent player who has scored 24 this season and has a bit about him.

Assuming it's negative. We already know we cannot compete trying to buy the finished article. We have to keep looking for up and coming (Cummings?) prospects and develop them. 24 goals is no mean feat in any division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon uk Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Im really not convinced cummings would make much of an impact at champinship level. If burns and agard are contracted to us i cant see him being ahead of those 2 in terms of a threat in the championship. If it was 24 spl goals it might be worth thinking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on here write off Scottish league players, prob due to mcinnes era, but I remember the dicks era and quality players like Ritchie, Sweeney and Gow.

I'm not sure he'd ever been to Scotland before he became a Scottish international I do agree though that just because we've signed crap players from Scotland before, doesn't mean that we should completely ignore all players from Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 If the standard is as good as league two, should we be looking to take Matt Taylor from Rovers? I am playing devils advocate a little bit, but we are always moaning about missing out on local players who go on to be a success elsewhere, how would we feel if he went to another club and continued to score goals. I should say I know nothing about him other than he has scored goals, I have never watched him play and have no idea whether he is a more all round player.

EnderMB Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'm not hugely sold on Scottish football. Even some of the greats (Driver, Fleck) that made their names in Scotland struggled in the Championship. The former is in Holland now playing for a newly promoted team, and the latter is a decent League 1 player. In terms of Scottish players themselves, I wouldn't mind us putting a cheeky bid in for Steven Fletcher. I think he's out of contract in the summer and is currently playing for Marseille on loan. He's a decent forward, but has struggled in the Premier League, so I reckon him and Kodjia would tear the Championship up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy hasn't turned out too badly, has he? I've never seen the lad play, but think I saw a vid of a dinked pen in the semi final on Saturday - that was him, wasn't it? Not the best first impression!!

How well up on Ligue 2 were you before Kodjia arrived? You don't have to look very hard to see that there's plenty of examples of those who have come from Scotland into English football and kicked on - you saw some of them Tuesday night!

I should say I know nothing about him other than he has scored goals, I have never watched him play and have no idea whether he is a more all round player. Don't think so, he's 26 and up to this season, bar 7 games for Oxford 7 or 8 years ago, he's spent his career in non league. When I hear Rovers' fans on phone ins they often say he didn't play well, missed some sitters but scored in the end. Didn't he go on a 10/11 game non scoring run this season as well and get dropped? I doubt he'll score heavily above L2 let alone in the Championship, and if you think about it Agard, who could be on his way out of AG, must be a far better bet to notch in the Championship than Taylor.
