I only watched half,but he seems an out and out striker, a poacher........... no screamers, no mazy dribbling runs, no out pacing defence on a long ball. Not quite what i expected Hopefully a great signing, im excited 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 If Joao ends up going somewhere for a fee, our cut should cover at least £200k so sounds like a cracking deal to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 3 hours ago, A47Owl said: We once had 7 strikers. Yeah and even then we still had too many of them who were too similar, didn’t truly know which of them to start, and still lacked options. Assuming Wilks signs, I think that gives us 4 players who each have something a bit different. I think you can see obvious combinations and lineups that make sense.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 1 hour ago, bigsheff said: It was just an observation on that line up mate, don’t get your knickers in a twist It’s not like he plays high up the pitch anyway & modern full backs attack. It was just a comment, it seems you are the one getting your knickers in a twist He is a disaster at full back, can't defend to save his life, just watch the penalty he gave away early in the season for pulling someone back inside the area. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 worth a shot, decent age, looks like another tall strong player suitable for this division. Doesn't look the most mobile and not sure if he knows he's got a right foot Seems more in the mould of Smith. Decent option to throw on to try something different.

Guest Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 15 hours ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: Windass reportedly cost us around £500k. Still, £700k for that lot vs £8m for Jordan Rhodes puts things into perspective, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a sell on clause then surely it will be a % of the profits not the fee. Given they paid about £5m plus add ons I doubt they’ll be making a profit on him if he moves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 4 strikers to choose from being Gregory, Windass, Smith and Wilks looks so strong for league one. Brilliant squad building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel. Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 A lot of the videos show goals but this when he left Doncaster shows more of the potential for a wider forward if needed. He was really impressive at Doncaster not sure if DM was there then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack of Clubs Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 For £200k it’s an absolute no-brainer. Will give us a different dimension which will be needed in some games more than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHNHARKES Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) 200k is outrageously outstanding value. Will be a very good signing. Edited June 25, 2022 by JOHNHARKES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
