Players who were released by league 1 clubs are playing for Aberdeen and Rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take away your opinion and look at facts. Sam Winnall managed more Championsihp goals in four and a half months than Stevie May has managed in three and a half years ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus May was more expensive. The bargain price is driving this, plus the chance to pie Barnsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average players will go for a lot more cash this window than we'd spend here. Thats the saving grace, £500,000 is not too much of a gamble for us these days. It's odd though, that such a low key signing would produce such a frenzy. Very similar to the unrealistic expectations people had with Stevie May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Winnall managed more Championsihp goals in four and a half months than Stevie May has managed in three and a half years ffs To be fair to May he has been injured for a full year of that three. And played in the most defensive set Wednesday side of the past 30 years in his time here. Gary Winston Lineker would have struggled to bag in that side. In the end his 1 in 3 ratio isn't that bad all things considered. Also had 3 chalked off. Two of them outerageously. Not saying he's more than he was and I agree about the sinking standard in Scottish football. Will be interesting to see how he comes on now he's back from that horrific knee injury. As for Winnall. I've talked to some Barnsley fans I know who think he's not the player we think he might be. But anything under £1m would still represent a good buy for what he has got.

gurujuan Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 No, I was delighted by the extensions signed by Forestieri and Hutchinson, they are good players, and more importantly our players. I just can't get excited by every average player we are linked with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher Nuhiu Forestieri Hooper Joao Very fair points. There seems to be a philosophy in football in general these days that you can never have too many strikers.

If they don't rate Winnall we can loan them Nuhiu and then ask for their opinion again Edited January 11, 2017 by Southie_Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he'd want to stay in this area. I love the Yorkshire area as it's where I'm from but there's some beautiful spots in Norfolk. If it was purely diwn to area then Norwich would be my choice. But if it's for football reasons then we surely stand a very good chance. We're not far off from being a bloody good team despite the moaning gets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
