    I get everyone's points but I genuinely don't think he's gonna score enough goals to get us out of the league this season. I'd be shocked if he got into double figures.

    We 100% still need a decent goalscorer.
    We don’t know role he’s been signed for or how Bowyer will deploy him. As long as it’s someone Bowyer wanted and it’s not been put upon him then I’m happy if he is tbh. 
  • Knows Marcus Maddison from his time at Peterborough too

    Can't see this announced anywhere but here?!
  • Glad we've signed a striker but think we'll need a lot more than Bogle to get us out of this league. He's no Grant or Taylor. Not even sure he's an upgrade on Bonne tbh.
    Not sure an “upgrade” on Bonne is what we could get, nor what we need at this point in the window.

    If you offered me Bonne or Bogle + 2m to spend on the squad, I’d choose the latter.
    I would rather they spent that £2m on a decent striker
    So would I - but wage cap......

    Ben Ransom announced it. Cawley has also confirmed it. 
  • Of course these videos can always been slightly misleading - but one thing you can see is he does seem to have a little bit about him. Can actually dribble the ball and is not just a static lump up top.

    Only a you tube video but looks decent and more than just a lump

    If we have that much faith in him, why is it a 1-year deal? He's 27.

    We just gave a 31 year old a 2-year deal with an extra 1-year option. Strange. 
    Probably thinks can get more than 2k a week if he has a good season but we don't go up

  • Very decent signing. If you're looking for a like-for-like replacement for Bonne, it'll likely be in the shape of a young Prem loan. This is a move to make us more physically dominant up front, something that we can all agree hasn't been the case so far this season

    Similar player to Frank Nouble.

    big lump not technically gifted....
    Not impressed then, @Redhenry :smile:


    I guess he's been brought in because he's a physical presence, holds up the ball, chip in with a few goals, do a job: but he's not  a Ronnie Schwarz type striker. I'd imagine we're still working on that one.


    PS: Did you already know he was coming?

    Scored over 30 goals for Grimsby.

    The last player we had who did that name escapes me?. ;-)

    Watched a few of his goal reels. Reminded me a bit of Toney.
    If only we had someone to supply the bullets?

    Looking at his finishes and free kicks, he's definitely a Nabby replacement up front 🤣

    Can take the hits for the likes of Gilby and Maddison to feed off

    The last ex-Grimsby striker we bought turned out reasonably well
  • Looks like there’s a good player there from the highlights. Hope he’s fit and can gel with the team.

    Obviously reading this the 4 or 5 championship managers that have picked him were wrong and he is shit. 

    The same way that the 60 odd championship mangers, in the same time frame, were wrong to not sign Maddison. 

    Obviously the Charlton life hive mind knows better. /sarcasm

    Not according to the reply to "stratpac" in the comments on that video!
