Kopparberg Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) He can’t have a beard though. That’s gotta go. That alone will cause people to say our squad is ‘full of over 30 year olds’. Edited September 25, 2020 by Kopparberg Shave needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Still seems like a Bullen type to me. Great for the team. But you need a bit more too. How does Glatzel keep him out if he’s as good as some of them say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Cardiff fans rate him , won 2 young players of the year awards , just seen a report Dom howson has put on twitter from a Cardiff journo singing his praises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I think this could be a decent signing. A strong CF that’s decent in the air is what we need. He could bring the best out of the other 3 CFs we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d also have to ask why there was a reluctance from Hearts and Cardiff to use him as a striker, especially as that is what he initially was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Paterson signs for us as I think he’s better than he’s being credited for at the moment and Madine. He scored more than he did at least...

gurujuan Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) It’s a bit of a worry that he looks pretty average on his showreel, when even the also rans, look like world beaters on those things Edited September 25, 2020 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve found our new David Hirst Said it earlier on but to me he has something like Hooper about him. Could be a smart signing, if he can have a similar impact to Hooper's first season and link up our midfield and attack, and finish in a similar way.

Emerson Thome Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I didn't realise he was still only 25. I think this might work as a striker if we are playing to his strengths but I don't think he will be able to link the play as well as someone like Fletcher did. We are lacking someone as the focal point of the attack, seems to be good in the air and has a fierce shot on him. Downside is he isn't the quickest and seems a bit clumsy on the ball at times - but hopefully having someone who is a pest in the box can finish off all the good work that Bannan, Brown, Windass are doing. Or maybe he is more thought of as a utility player? For those who are interested - he's started 62 games for Cardiff over the past 3 seasons (21 of these in the Prem): Right Back = 6 games, 1 goal Centre Midfield = 13 games, 5 goals Right Midfield = 8 games, 2 goals Attacking Midfield Centre = 10 games, 2 goals Centre Forward = 25 games, 7 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s criminal he hasn’t been playing at Cardiff given how versatile he is and how average they are. He’s got premier league experience going to waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 He’s definitely a utility player, not too sure he’s any kind of out and out striker , maybe a bit like Greg Halford who was a decent player in his prime at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing we want is someone who is slow, clumsy, but good in the air, as the likes of Bannan and Brown will be wasted Nuisance value off the bench, maybe, but no way does he look capable of being our main striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
