Simms scored the winner vs Bristol?

It’s not too much depth, it’s resource allocation innit. If we bring in 2/3 more players in other areas this week I’m all for it. But I’m skeptical of that happening, and our priority shouldn’t have been a striker.

No mate, spunking £5m on backup strikers is a wise investment. Trust the process.

There is actually, if you go to account details you can request a change.

Your username is now highly misleading.

FFS guys you’re missing my point. 4 wingers for two spots is fine, yes. I’m using that as a comparison with striker, where I think 3 multi million pound signings is slightly overkill.

We’ve got 4 wingers including Raphael who has done an impressive disappearing act since signing. I don’t count Tavares. One more would be ideal imo, but midfield/rb are priorities.

And why on earth would either of them want a player who struggles to get starts with us?

Yes, but it’s the distribution of the depth. We’ve now got an abundance of central strikers but are still lacking in midfield, right back and potentially even on the wing.

Of course it’s a significant fee (for us). Don’t be silly.

Or he's a uni student that watches some niche football and knows how to work fbref/transfermarkt etc. Nothing against him. He does seem to have an odd reverential status on here though.

He certainly purports to be

I'm not writing him off. In a vacuum he's fine. But when he's presumably coming in behind both BTA and Simms it just seems odd that we've paid a fairly significant fee for him as he's unlikely to get much playing time (and if he does, where does that leave BTA?). Just can't really get my head...

I have no idea who @Tea & Busquets is, or why his opinion would be so valuable. Enlighten me?

Sakamoto had far more experience.

Because he's not English. And if an English player started his career in France/Belgium like this lad has he wouldn't qualify as homegrown, so his value wouldn't be inflated the same way domestic players are. You're the one removing context.

You've made an obscure, irrelevant point. If my auntie had bollocks she'd be my uncle yada yada. However you swing it, £2m is pretty steep for a guy with just 6 professional goals in Belgium and the French 2nd div.

Unhappy being 4th choice so he's moved here to be 3rd choice, smart lad.

Here you go lads, I've found every goal he scored last season and these are the highlights, timestamped to the clips of his goals. Here you go lads, I've found every goal he scored last season and these are the highlights, timestamped to the clips of his goals.

If he was English... he'd be playing for English international teams and probably not in Ligue 2/Jupiler Pro...
