EMC was fantastic for Peterborough and I was really excited to see what he could do for us. I thought he performed ok in his first season at this level. Could have easily chalked up a few more goals too. The stats show he performs to a very similar standard as Wright and IIRC even got more assists than him.
Big season coming up for us both, If he stays fit as first choice, I could easily see him get similar figures to what Rudoni did this year.
The assist put over for the Rudoni header was possibly one of the highlights of the season.

It’s not his fault obviously, but given EMC was loaned back to Peterborough and spent much of last season injured, to have only started 18 league games for us in the year and a half since he joined has been a big letdown.
1 year loan. Perfect. We must have some players lined up as Lampard didn't seem to fancy Simms or BTA last season and Haji is injured.Coventry City striker subject of Eredivisie transfer approach News: The72 - Football League News
Coventry City are looking to refine their squad for the upcoming season, and that could see Norman Bassette head for pastures new.the72.co.uk
Don't understand a loan with an option to buy. If he's shit they won't take it and we're stuck with an asset of lower value than what we got it for, if he does really well they potentially get him on the cheap.
Don't see how that option benefits us.
You can generally see if someone can play or not in the first few minutes, touch, pass, tricks and intelligence. Limitations become more apparent with time, particularly as the opposition learn more about them and they've been kicked around a bit. He's a solid enough Championship player to my eye (obviously when fit and playing in position) but it's unclear that he's got anything much more in his locker. I do like his strength and bravery. Better than, say, Gilo?Most of which under Lampard. Until he came in he'd only started 5 games - I'm fairly sure most or at least some of which being in unfamiliar positions.
There's quite a sizeable lack of context issue when it comes to fans critiquing EMC's season last season.
If Robins wasn't going to play him as a LW on a consistent basis (from memory he was also played on the right and centrally at times) I don't really understand why he was brought in, in the first place.
Although I'm glad he's here now as I genuinely think he could be a real asset to us.

Yeh that's what I mean as I believe an option is just that, an option. I'd rather it be an obligation so it's just a done piece of business that's confirmed even if he flops.Two sides that need to be interested though. Also are options a guarantee or just an option? I’d have thought it’s less specific and binding than an obligation to buy.
Hasn't he just signed a contract extension?Luke Woolfenden is a name I've seen mentioned as potentially leaving Ipswich and apparently we were interested in January

Yeh that's what I said hahaOption to buy is not as useful as obligation to buy from the selling clubs perspective.
Option to buy is good for the buying club if the fee agreed is lower than you think it might be at the end of the loan …
I suspect you extract a higher loan fee if you give an option to buy.Yeh that's what I said haha
Imo you either sell or do a loan with obligation if that's not possible or you commit to saying we believe in this players ability to develop and just do a straight loan.
Loan with an option is the worst option available from our point of view with no benefit.
Same reason why Man City would do the same for us with someone like Callum Doyle. If it’s a player you’re open to selling then you offer the buying team some flexibility and leave yourself other ways to benefit in the future from buyback clauses/sell-ons etcDon't understand a loan with an option to buy.

I doubt Man City would do an option for us. Obligation upon promotion perhaps.Same reason why Man City would do the same for us with someone like Callum Doyle.

@Mucca Mad Boys don’t you think a new number 9 would thrive from the delivery from Sakamoto like Rudoni does?
Always rated Woolfenden, he's a solid Championship defender but I don't think he's as good as Doyle but of course that's just my own personal view. I know living in Suffolk and keeping an eye on Ipswich as such that he is a popular player with the fans, local boy as well, so I think it will need to be a good offer to prise him away from Ipswich.
There’s still plenty of timeThis transfer window so far has been so underwelming. Thought would really kick on and do some exciting business but still lack so many positions. Hopefully the uplift in the coaching this year shows
Over a month to go. We've brought in KKH and sold Binks. Great bit of business for a spend of just £1m.This transfer window so far has been so underwelming.

Signed a goalkeeper also.Over a month to go. We've brought in KKH and sold Binks. Great bit of business for a spend of just £1m.
I'd prefer to do it this way than throw money around like confetti as clubs like Wrexham have done.
Bassette is yet to touch the ball once for Belgium and hasn’t featured in a single squad since he was called up last minute. What appears to be a glorified work experience placement is doing an awful let of legwork in justifying what kind of potential he has.
