I’m not too keen on the Blackpool kid. From what I’ve seen he’s a bit sloppy and think he’ll struggle with the step up.
Name too long for a shirt and too difficult to spell. It's a no from me.
I'm more worried he takes his shirt off when he scores a goal. Isn't that a yellow card offense. If he scores two goals in a game, he'll get sent off 😔
Have to say that that video isn't selling him to me. Half of it consists of repeats and celebrations and most of the rest is tap-ins and goalkeeping errors. Never mind - as others have said I trust in Gallen and Bows and they seem to favour players with a raw talent that they can coach and improve. I suppose I am slightly disappointed that we are still shopping in the bargain basement - but following Matt Southall's interview I am happy to buy into the proposed model of sustainable and incremental improvement if it keeps us up and moving forwards.
Just to put on record, and people can shoot me down, and quote me in future if he signs and does well, but I just don’t rate Gnanduillet and think he would struggle in this division. For me there are better options out there that we could get.
Like who?
Not my job, that’s Gallen’s to find players better and I am sure there will be a good few out there. My point was I don’t rate him and think he will struggle in this league. Strikers need to be able to bring something to the team and occupy defenders at the same time. Taylor drags them wide and out of position and assists, scores and holds up the ball. You rarely see players doing well in this league that happen to be lucky or just end up being in the right place and the right time, the rest of the time they get found out.
I trust Bow and Gallen on signings. It was me last week that said everything is in hand and how much do you trust Gallen. But I am also allowed the opinion that I don’t think he would cut it in this division, and so there are better options out there.
Think we need to sign some experience in this window - id like to see Christophe Berra Centre Back whos just been released from Hearts - we need to start getting Clean sheets. - and Andy King from Leicester whos loan at Rangers has just been cut short. Eddie Nkeitah would be the icing on the cake though for sure.

I agree about some experience but Christophe Berra? Maybe 5 years ago but not now.
As Nelson said in his book ‘Left Foot Forward’, better to be lucky...!
I thought Nelson said "England expects that every man will do his duty". I'm not sure "Better to be lucky" would have worked at Trafalgar quite as well.
Can someone put up a video of Hamed's goals for qpr last season?
Failing that Sordell's greatest hits, Reza's goals in Holland or the best of Polish Pete.
If you did a 5 minute YouTube of Paul Mortimer you convince people he was the best player to ever lace boots (he was BTW).
Jeez you're full of joy aren't you.
If Bow and Gallen think they can work with Gnanduillet I'm willing to give him a chance.
I didn't say I wasn't.
A 2 minute video isn't a reason to get excited, or not, about a player.
I don't think anyone is actually making a judgement based on the video, moreso just saying based on the.video he seems to have something about him.
His record hints that he's either not good enough until recently or he's not applied himself. P.276, G.S.64, A.18 Maybe Bow and Gallen can trigger the coin drop moment for him if the latter is the case.
Let's be honest, none of us have seen him regular enough to make a call, so in Gallen and Bows we trust.
I thought that was 18 against, i.e. own goals. Took me a while to realise it was assists.

At least, I'm hoping it's assists.
He's still in front by 46 though (which is more than I can say when I look at my own stats!)
Wednesday interested in Taylor what about swap deal for Jordan Rhoades
If we can’t afford to pay Taylor what he wants, we certainly can’t afford Rhodes!
Who says we can't afford what he wants?
From what I've seen and read here and elsewhere plus a few rumours. Its more that Lyle wants a "change of scenery". Money might come into it - but I don't think its the only consideration.

Probably didn’t mean it quite like that. IF money were the issue and Taylor ends up leaving for higher wages elsewhere, then I highly doubt that Jordan Rhodes would be a realistic option as a replacement.
Gnanduillet looking like it will go through, too many mentions for the smoke to be false now imo. Better to have him up top than what we currently have.
I don't know how accurate these accounts are but Barnsley fans certainly seem to at least be entertaining them, we are in for Mowatt but so are Forest. I can see him going Forest if it's between us or them but that would be a very good start to the January window with both of them in, especially Mowatt. That's a long term championship midfielder imo

Rhodes certainly needs to kick start his career. Really can’t see us withdrawing what we have offered Taylor and then paying more (because it would be more) on Rhodes.
The other side of the coin with Taylor is that perhaps ESI don’t like being held to ransom - which if true, shows they mean business.

Didn’t Mowatt come through at Leeds? Could be that maybe the Bowyer being a Leeds hero etc could swing it, could be wrong. Regardless, that would be a very decent signing.
Seems as if Bowyer and Gallen have been tracking this lad for quite some time. That means they rate him and should we sign him it’s not a case of getting a body in as in the signing of Josh Parker. It’s a step up and probably both Bowyer and Gallen won’t expect him to make a massive impact immediately. They are looking at potential and in our current situation a body. I still think that if Taylor departs then a more experienced striker will be brought in. Massive risk if not.

Forest would be a lot nearer seeing that he's only played for Leeds and Barnsley

follow up was good too

Not surprising, considering where he plays, of course.
At least, I'm hoping it's assists.
