LondonBristolian Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Time was I'd have snapped your hand off. Now I'd obviously be underwhelmed but there is no doubt at all he has ability. Reality is Bournemouth was maybe a step too far, Wolves had too much competition and an underachieving Stoke were maybe the wrong club to rebuild a career. It could be a surprisingly good move.

Phileas Fogg Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He's only 26 still and actually, bar Stoke and then Bournemouth in the PL, has a pretty decent scoring record. Pretty much 1 in 2 at Wolves and that was in this league. A bit underwhelming because recently he's been poor, but he's clearly a good player. We could do worse.. When he's at his best he's the sort of player we've missed for years. Instinctive goalscorer, quick and clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still massively frustrated though. Before he moved to Stoke, there'd be much more enthusiasm for this move. If I remember correctly, lots of people wanted him in the window where we ended up with Diony. Don't let the Stoke spell fool you - he's a good player and knows the league. Just had a barren patch recently. Attribute wise, he's exactly what we need in my opinion. Could be a very shrewd signing. Less of a risk than an unknown player from abroad and not some journeyman on his last legs. Would've preferred Reid - but this might be a really good deal.

Dredd Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Had a tough couple of seasons but is a number 9 and will hit double figures I reckon. Stoke a tough place to play last season.

Strange Don’t think so, pretty sure today was the last day for any transfers. Only L1 & L2 can loan in players until end of August But I think Afobe could do well in our side, had a few bad seasons now but definitely a goalscorer in there somewhere Hopefully LJ and the rest of the coaching staff can bring the best out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
