TheEnchanter Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Think the good thing is how Huddersfield fans liked and rated his work rate and commitment. He didn't quite have the goal scoring impact in recent seasons but maybe due to him playing on the right in a struggling team. Not seen too much negative from Hudders fans basically. Which is surprising. I think Elias will be a great fit for hopefully a hard working and committed team that will have the mentality to keep going when the chips are down. Because we need that to be the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkley Brown Kachunga Widnass All solid championship signings. Without the -12 I'd expect this squad with a couple of more additions to easily be midtable. There lies the problem. The signings may make us a mid table side but with a 12 point deduction it will send us down. I think Kachunga is a desperately poor signing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same folk who point to our smelly neighbours and their King Pig as a shining light example, complain about us wasting money on expensive hasbeens on long contracts yet would have been in absolute total meltdown at some of those he signed and turned around in the past few seasons. Free transfer, one year deal, proven at this level, good relationship with another new recruit on loan from a top Premier League club but yes, MOAN, MOAN, MOAN fuckingMOAN!!!!! moaning about people moaning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Not a terrible signing on a free. About the sort of level we should expect. Happy enough with this one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine, turn the clock back 25 - 30 ish years. We announce a central defender is to be played 'up top' as they say now. Cue meltdown. Quotes a plenty in cliche land. "4 goals in 50 appearances", "We need a big striker & get a bloody defender", "Manager hasn't a clue", "Don't rate him, we needed a proven 20 goal striker", "Not what we need" etc etc etc. "Go on Paul Warhurst, let's see what you can do up front lad.

mattitheowl Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I can't help but feel if he's not good enough for a Huddersfield team that finished below us last season, he's just not good enough! We've let better walk away IMO. 2 1 Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stats over his entire career are very low, he is 28 and has signed a 1 year deal on a club starting on minus 12. The fact remains he has scored the same amount of goals in the last 3 years as Jordan Rhodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parajack Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Forum needs a reboot on attitude....'negging' when we dont bring some one in,'negging' when we do....FFs wait & see!!!...(if there any good) & than offer up an opinion!! See how there played,in what line up...see if they improve with coaching...show a bit of faith,until you have a reason not to ... Ridiculous amount of pessimism,& negativity... May well yet see another late loan signing or two come in,who knows?.if they dont,they, dont,we go with what we have....UP THE OWLS..

Guest The Horse Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I used to read this site several times a day. My click count now must be way down to what it was. Cos now I just despair of reading post after post from our entitled cry baby fans who want the moon on a stick despite us now cutting our cloth accordingly and having a structure in place that will be built on solid foundations promoting youth, energy and a professional team ethic. But that requires patience to see through doesn't it? And toddlers have no patience. I'm out of here for a bit. The screaming in this creche is unbearable.

Beholder Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Gonna try and stay positive He is a player who won promotion with Hudds. So on that basis he is a top end champ player. Or can be. Also linking up with Brown again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
