Redtrojan Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 9 goals in 88 games for derby. Hopefully will be more prolific for us if deal goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not our out and out striker that isn't a bad record to add to a 20 goal a season striker that I'm hoping we also sign. Imo it would be a good addition of goals. He can also play anywhere upfront which is nice to have. He also has Prem experience and he isn't ancient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they aren't taking the whole day. I suspect the day includes medical, contract signing, meet the team, maybe do a bit of training, do all the pics, interviews & vids. Maybe even record a goal meme or two! When you consider all that, you can see why they take a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s roughly 4 goals a season, hardly a great back up to a main striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my Rothmans Wiemann had never scored more than 7 league goals in a season (12/13) usually notches 4 or 5 and has had a few zeros in between. Looks like the only time he ever notched double figures was the same season when he bagged 4 in the league cup ( of which we should not be interested.) Bobby Reid hasn’t either before last season.

There’s definitely is a ‘tomorrow’ to complete deals after deadline days.....initial paperwork has to be in by the 11pm deadline but the finer details of a transfer can be thrashed out in the following days....deals are not always completed before or on the actual day - and I’m sure @slartibartfast knew that....

My bruv-in-law was meant to be on duty at that match, but someone asked to swap with him, because the other policeman wanted another weekend off. Horrible.

The Bard Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Utterly underwhelming. Hope I'm wrong but seems a lot of money for someone who is very much on a downward curve.

Yes, his salary will bump up his cost of ownership to the club over the term of his contract but I've a good feeling that he'll repay us handsomely.

1960maaan Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 The time the medical is taking we could get another few pages out of this yet, so I'll add my pointless witterings. I remember him for Villa and always thought he looked good, not taken much notice since. If I'm reading that table right @Davefevs , his numbers stack up quite well. 60 games , 19 goals and 6 assists. Comes out at nearly 1 in 2 scored or assisted, not too shabby . From what I remember, busy and quick, just what we were missing last year, and more so now BR's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
