But neither has Joao, impact sub at best, his game hasn't come on at all for last couple of seasons and his work rate and attitude were often found wanting. So best of a bad bunch doesn't automatically mean any good, amongst least worse if you ask me!!!! Well yes, I agree, he probably is the best of a bad bunch, but look at what we’re left with now he’s gone Link to post Share on other sites
stocksyuto 2,757 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just cant see DC getting him for the price he wants I hope we dont miss out on him now Link to post Share on other sites
109Waddle 393 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Not ITK by any stretch, but this is one deal that I can definitely see happening, right up to the deadline I reckon Link to post Share on other sites

But Joao's best season for us was 10 league goals, and his career best is 12, 6 years ago in Portugal, so I dont/didn't see him as the answer either!!?

The lad scores an exceptional amount of goals for a defender. Think that makes people forget that he’s actually not that special when it comes to defending. Link to post Share on other sites

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU 30,438 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 5 hours ago, Ever the pessimist said: I like Hector, but this is reminiscent of the pigs spending all their money on ‘not just any right back’ after a successful loan spell. Yeah but he did have a beard 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to post Share on other sites

One of the assets to Flint is he adds goals. Aden Flint scored 37 goals in 209 games for Bristol. Quite exceptional for a CB. Link to post Share on other sites

mark1948 972 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Strikers are largley reliant on the service that they receive from the midfield, wingers and overlapping full backs/wingbacks or in the case of the Blunts overlapping Centre Backs. Our problems have really stemmed from our lack of pace and ability to create sufficient chances for the strikers to put away. We have been saved at times by the ability of some of our players to score worldies out of nothing situations. Our strikers will be better this term as the supply line is starting to look better.
