Agree - Watt, Makienok, ANO striker with Champ experience, Ahearne Grant - being fed by JBG and Bulot wouldnt be the end of the world.
From what I've seen Bulot is as good as a Reims player, and to be honest a straight swap isn't worth it. An injury free Igor is on a whole different level to Bulot, has the potential to be one of the best players in this division.
I would rather keep Bulot than Igor, Igor got found out halfway through the season, most teams put 2 on him. Injury or no injury Igor won't be the player he was in the first 10 games of last season.
Igor will be much better this season I reckon... Our attack was easy for Championship Defenders last season as neither Watt / Vetokele were the aggressive type so the Defenders had no issue getting tight to either player because they know they wouldnt have a fight on their hands.
This is the difference that Simon Makienok will hopefully bring, he might not score heaps of goals but if he can give as good as he gets from the opposition Defence, they'll know they've got a fight on their hands and wont want to mark so tightly... that'll give Vetokele the space to run at Defences with his pace and hopefully create more chances like his goals against Brighton at the Amex last season
Amazes me how some people think swapping Igor for Bulot would be a good deal for us!
Well Igor would be no good for us if his achilles is in anything like the same state as it was post Christmas last year. Rumours that he is still limping dont fill you with confidence that it is any better.

exactly, a fit Igor and it's a no brainer but if it's an injury we have to manage carefully then that is a different kettle of fish entirely
The apparent swap deal doesn't make any sense for us. People are forgetting that Igor has 4 years left on his contract, Bulot at Standard has 1 year left.
Even with Vetokele's achilles problem, he has to be worth more than Bulot because of length of contact and potential Vetokele still has, as we could manage to sort out this problem and we would have a brilliant player on our hands again.
Not to mention he has just got married and has a new apartment here in England, the man is finally settled, he won't be going anywhere.

What an almighty cock up. Deal should have been done and dusted at the end of last season.
Still, I would much rather have Igor if it was ever a choice between the two. Some people under-estimating him, I think. Unless his injury is more serious than we know, he is a guaranteed 10-15 goals a season guy at least.

Deal was not going to happen once RD fell out with the new owner over the Tony Watt deal ....they were not going to allow us to have him Cheaply as they were paying percentage of his wages last season
Then why the heck didn't we drop it weeks ago instead of having him train with us etc?

For that reason, I'M OUT
