geordiedean Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Theres a lad playing for Millwall today who mirrors the whole jamie vardy story. Lee Gregory banged the goals in for halifax as did vardy, scored 26 for millwall this season too i think its a case of if you score goals and know how to the division you're in is irrelevant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 If that were true why wouldn't Premier League clubs just snap up League 2 or the Conference's top scorers every summer for peanuts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Look at the likes of Leon Best, Danny Graham, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Marlon King and Glenn Murray who haven't. If it was that easy, why has no-one in this league ever signed Jordan Rhodes or Ross McCormack? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 there is exceptions to every rule and to be quite frank Leon best would walk into our team at the moment as would glenn murray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 If that were true why wouldn't Premier League clubs just snap up League 2 or the Conference's top scorers every summer for peanuts? Mitrovic averaged 1 in 2 before he came here in two countries...his point clearly doesn't stand when his opinion applies to a player he doesn't like.

geordiedean Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 all i was saying is there are lots of young hungry lads playing in the lower leagues with far more desire, workmate and drive and will to succeed than the vast majority of a lot of wasters in our squad Look at some of the lads from bournemouth hell even leicester, there would have been many raised eyebrows if wed signed any of bournemouths lads or wes morgan, danny simpson, marc albrighton, leonardo ulloa etc its all about attitude and application to me of which our lads have such the wrong one big time, then any ability that is naturally there can be coached to levels of vast improvement. Again something that we haven't been able to do for a long long time, some of our coaching setup is pub league standard recently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 If that were true why wouldn't Premier League clubs just snap up League 2 or the Conference's top scorers every summer for peanuts? Mitrovic averaged 1 in 2 before he came here in two countries...his point clearly doesn't stand when his opinion applies to a player he doesn't like. How many has he averaged in the premier? That is the only stat which is relevant. I agree with Benitez that central defenders in England are probably as good as anywhere, especially against big centre forwards, which would explain why Mitrovic's scoring rate dipped pretty drastically since coming here.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Is anyone else actually quite excited for next season now? The thought of us, with Rafa at the healm, winning matches regularly with some great away days along the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Pinkman Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 We will need a big squad to win the championship. On top of some big signings, I think we should bring in the likes of Carrick, Morrison and Tom Carroll in on a free. Borthwick Jackson maybe worth a pop from Man U as LB cover.
