    Also sceptical of Kelman. That offside goal in the playoff semi should never have stood, so much so he could have chalked it off himself by confessing to the ref. Add that to Tanto's awful miss in the return leg and we would have two league 1 players in our front line imposting as championship ready. Still have 0-3 to Watford vibes all over this squad at present.
    So you're going to base both those players entire seasons on one game each? 

    You're either a WUM or just slow. Can't decide which

    I think there should be a toll and an expensive one at that, to get onto this thread. That’ll stop some of you buggers spending your whole life on it!;)

    PWR

    140 odd posts, anything to get excited about or is it just more premature ejaculation?
    You are a very rude man!

    I still don’t believe Kelman has been a serious target for us. I think we’ve got way ahead of ourselves and don’t believe we’ll sign him.

    He is huge, isn't he? Must be at least 20ft tall. I wouldn't sign the one on the left. Loses his head under pressure.

    A few have said this but why? Seems too good to be true to sign last seasons top scorer in L1?

    I am afraid that is the modern game. The concept of sportsmanship departed once we started paying players.

    He would either be Nicky Ajose mark 2, or our new Super Clive for this level. Realistically we cant yet compete with the proven champ strikers, meaning we have 2 options. Look abroad. Or take a punt on a player hoping to make the step up. As punts go outside the champ, Kelman is statistically the top option.

    They dont always work out - look at Longstaff at Millwall. Then again look at Jamie Vardy.

    Let's see how this plays out.

    It does sound like it's just a rumour made up by a fan that has gathered momentum.

    It's not been reported by anyone or anywhere reputable.

    Neither was Sonny Carey but he still signed.

    Because the rumours have appeared to originate from a wish list rather than sound intel. I’m sure he’d be a good acquisition but not cheap and not the sort of striker Jones really needs for his style while he still has Godden in the building.

    No, he’s judging them on a a couple of nano second incidents within 2 games.  It’s a truly surgical review.

    Right, there was no rumour, so no-one knew a thing. If a few forum users have heard something and there is something in it, you would expect some established journalists to know something. 

    I could well be wrong but I just don't feel there is anything in this one and would be wary of getting excited.

    If his medical was today we’ll know soon enough.

    I don’t see budget being an issue, Jones didn’t come back to aim for 21st in the Championship, and I would guess the Cardiff speculation and new contract may have resulted in a bigger budget.

    Godden being here does the opposite for me - Jones is aiming high and will want plenty of depth and options, having another poacher will give us that.

    Re Kelman

    "One of the “in the know” lads reckons the personal terms were agreed ages ago, we’ve just been haggling with you over price

    He must think you lot are a basket case if he prefers taking a chance with us

    Although in fairness I back Jones to keep us up

    Unlikely to be pretty though"
