Came into the pro game late if true . I don’t know his whole story but has jumped multiple leagues successfully last season. Like we saw with Kodjia there is a raw unpredictability to players like that. That can be maddening and magically entertaining at the same time. Personally, rather have a raw hungry athletic striker to come on and change a game rather than Taylor or even Djuric(depends on matchup). Like they way we have done business this summer. We have filled out our starting XI with championship level players(can’t argue their experience). Our bench will have young and hungry players with high ceilings like Walsh, Adelakun, Eisa, Kelly(JB stays?) and Eliasson(looks good this preseason). Some experience too like Wright, Pato and Pack or Smith. The squad has come a long way from our first season back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do I think. Aden Flint is the perfect example of one close to home, used to play non-league while working on the roads at night and all the other stuff. He will never in his worst nightmares want to go back there again. Albert was another. Painting & decorating while playing for Barnet. Players like that have a significantly different approach to their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Right, having suggested him 11 months ago my next piece of advice is don’t even think about loaning him out! Should be around the first team, not scoring goals in League One for someone else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Diedhiou, Djuric, Taylor, Eisa and Weimann as our forwards is a good number with a good range of skill sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 36 minutes ago, Ska Junkie said: I wonder if this might signal the end of Milan at city? It would make sense to be fair but would mean Mo may have to play the first 6 before Fammy's back. IF Milan has, as reported, said he would like to go back to Italy, it makes sense. It's a pity we couldn't keep Milan for the 6 games and then send him off with our best wishes. I can’t imagine Mo would start ahead of Taylor and Weimann as league 2 to Championship is a big leap, but he would be useful to have on the bench. Of course, Albert came from Barnet and went straight into the first team without any problem, so I might be talking rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we keep him here too - League 1 (unless it`s a top side) isn`t much of a step up for a player with as many games as he has so I can`t see the point. The deciding factor IMO though is whether we do end up with Marriott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of those goals were ones goalkeepers at any level will struggle with. A few were ones where he got into Reid like positions. And of course there are a few that would have been saved/stopped by facing a better defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Good signing, but I don't want him to be one for the future, I don't him loaned back out, he has to be in and around the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Island Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Good signing and good to see us hoovering up talent from smaller local clubs. We’ve been a bit hit and miss recently with that, took a low risk punt on Matty Taylor which paid off but seeing Ollie Watkins lighting up the championship really sticks in the craw.
