Pretty sure a significant portion of our fans spent half a season slating McNulty as not a ‘natural goalscorer’ last season. Hiwula also appears to have been deployed out wide a lot in his career and despite his slow start, he could be a good signing. McNulty also got off to a slow start...

What figure do you have in mind? Personally, I thought £5-6m is a good deal. I don’t think he’s better than Dele Alli who was a natural comparison. This is what we’ve ended up with so I don’t have many more complaints. Perhaps you could say we got lowballed at £3m initially but that’s why you...

You've taken that £9m value out of context here. Maddison wasn't a £9m player when he was with us, £5-6m would've been a good deal and that's what we've ended up getting. Dele Alli is one of the best Prem midfielders and he only cost £5m, and frankly, neither Dele nor Maddison would've reached...

Bakayoko isn’t a lone striker, nor is he a target man. His style of play indicates he likes to run into channels and with the ball to his feet. If we’re to play 4-2-3-1 it probably won’t be Bakayoko as the spearhead. Very much a striker who thrives in a 4-4-2 it seems. We’ll end up playing...

More that trademark Coventry City Paranoia. No, that’s clearly not going to happen because Jones won’t be fit before the end of the transfer window.

With all due respect, how would you know we’re not signing quality players? You’ve not seen any of these players play. Last season, Hiwula scored 12, Bakayoko scored 9, JCH scored 9 in his last season in L1. If your requirement is 20+ goals, you’ll be disappointed because only 2-3 players do so...

As long as we have one striker who can hit between 10-15 goals, we’ll be fine. The likelihood of us finding a 28 goal a season striker is ridiculously low. I doubt McNulty would’ve scored many more than 15.

Didn’t he get 9 goals for last season in 47? Your, or shall I say, ‘our’ man is 22 years old. Plenty of young players, especially strikers, have disproportionately bad goals to appearances records. Partly because plenty of those games have been 20m cameos and dodgy loan deals. Two of our...

The point is our best strikers for last 10+ years have all been free transfers/loans... transfer fees do not necessarily mean anything per se.

Forget Wilson, Leon Clarke, Marlon King, McNulty, Armstrong and McGoldrick... Leon McKenzie and Freddy Eastwood are the best strikers we’ve had in a long time.

No idea! I’ve never seen this player play before!

Not really, got 9 in 47 last season which isn’t bad. At 22 has a lot of developing to do and perhaps Robins and his team have seen something he can add to the team. Some supporters have got to look at the bigger picture and wait and see how things pan out before criticising the policy.

He got 9 goals last season, which isn’t too bad. He’s still 22 too. My reservation is that is this type of striker needed when we have JCH and Biamou?

Biamou doesn’t strike me as a player who can thrive up front on his own! Perhaps JCH might be more suited to it, but, I’m not sure of it. 4-4-2 is probably the best option for us with our personnel. However, a big caveat is where to play Andreu in that system because he’d probably have to play...

We seem to have a disproportionate amount of numpties amongst our support, unfortunately...

Loans don’t work like this. However, there are loans that get cheaper the more their player gets game time, which is an incentive for the club to play that player. Our assistant manager knows Dujon Sterling from his academy days, is well regarded at Chelsea — even making first team appearances...

1 in 4 is a pretty good strike rate! The same people said the same stuff about McNulty. Why don’t people reserve their judgement about players for a few games and then start critising people.

I’m working away so missing the first 3 home games! Then the rugby season starts! Definitely going to have to book a few away days to see more of this promising outfit! We’ll win today, 2-1! A new hero in Allassani to be born!

He’s number 20? Must be leaving to Derby...

It would a brilliant bluff if we end up signing him. I stated earlier on that Jackett was playing a dangerous game whether it be this window or next when we made our move. Jackett made the mistake of making it public Chaplin wasn’t a first choice and at the same time not letting him go. He was...
