The strong opinions on relatively obscure players on this place never cease to amaze. He’s hardly relatively obscure in fairness, seen quite a lot of Watford the last season or so.

HaydnNUFC Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 3 minutes ago, Yorkie said: Sounds like the perfect sort of signing really if we're not getting a striker designed to actually usurp Wilson. Lol at the outofnowhereyness. Nah Yorkie mate, he's shit. Bang average and no better than Wood. We should instead go for these players I've just watched compilations on YouTube of and had a glance at their FBRef stats that we're almost certainly not in for instead.

I can't believe it By all the metrics @The Prophet has been posting, as well as the ones from that great Athletic article on him, he's right up there in potential with all the young strikers we've been looking at, but here we go ... can't score and is no good because he didn't do so for Watford, and is now no better than Chris Wood.

I thought that too but haven’t seen him that much TBH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play anywhere across the front line, so could be tried on the RW and also cover for Wilson up front. Sounds pretty ideal tbh considering those in the know seem to really rate him.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Why wait until Watford have just sold an attacker to make this bid, means they either won't sell or will demand silly money.
