Who?
Who?We signed Haji Wright for £7.7m so I think it’s fair to say there’s others out there.
thought it was 7.7m euro100% need to turn a profit, was it £9 million we paid?
No he was working in B&Q Leamington.
I think the difference with Wright is we were clearly tracking him for a while, knowing Gyokeres was off.
I reckon the scouting team will have had other priorities in this window, rather than looking for a Wright replacement, and subsequently going and looking around the european market for a couple of months to replace him carries much bigger risk.
Nah it was £7.7m rising to £9mthought it was 7.7m euro
I doubt hes hit all the targets to fetch £9mNah it was £7.7m rising to £9m
the euro figure was quoted something like €9m rising to €11m
It’s probably promotion based. Simms is similar - if he hits his targets and we get promoted it goes from 3.5m to 8mI doubt hes hit all the targets to fetch £9m
Nobody has said thisNo I agree, i think £15m is worth considering, but those saying get rid of him for what we got him for is just madness.
That header summed up his performance over the two legs, disappointing.That last minute of normal time header of his that went 2 yards wide in the play off semi away leg at Sunderland still haunts me

I know we weren’t playing to his strengths but his unwillingness to challenge for headers and bust a gut was pretty soul destroying to see from your big money striker in a game of that magnitudeHis body language in that second leg still haunts me.
I too believe there's a player in Ellis Simms. Games that come to mind, Leeds away (23/24) and Luton at home last season. Unplayable. I still say to this day that when he turns and drives at players (which he doesn't do enough) it's like big Cyrille Regis in his prime. Frank needs to get into his head.Ideally I’d want 15m for Hadji but if he’s unhappy and an offer of 12m comes in then I think we consider it.
Playing 4-3-3 not sure we need 4 big money strikers on the books. I’d rather we moved one of BTA and Simms on than Wright but not sure either of them turns a significant profit. Still feel there’s a player in Simms and Norman has something about him he could yet be the next Vik.
Hadji scores goals but not sure he’s a player id ever be gutted to see go. McNulty, Godden and Vik all seemed to buy into the club more than Wrights ever shown.
His record is better than one in 5The simple fact is, as a top earner and record signing you should be playing well 4 out of 5 games, not one in five. Rudoni, Grimes and Milan are showing Haji what consistency you need at this level. For that reason I think he should be sold.
To be fair the sensible posters would agree with youFor me haji would be a miss , one of our better players
For me haji would be a miss , one of our better players
I kinda think good strikers always blow hot and cold. The really good ones just have more good days than bad. I think it's probably true for Simms as well as Haji, both have the ability, it's just whether Frank can unlock it.I too believe there's a player in Ellis Simms.

I like BTA too though, as a lively impact sub. That's probably not what he wants though, and if so then move him on if possible.
Haji is a tricky one. He's been brilliant and shite for both Robins and Lampard, so perhaps that's just the player he is. If so sell him on. If Simms starts firing and EMC continues his upward rise then we won't miss him.
Haji is a really good player. But something has upset his psyche since the West Brom game. We need him in that form almost every match
There isn't a team in the Championship that he wouldn't walk in.For me haji would be a miss , one of our better players
Wrexham fans podcast mention how they would love Haji Wright, being decent, American and representing them in next years World Cup. Weird reason but for £15m they could have him I guess. Woukd love to see him cope with Parky-ball
Presley was calling Parkinson a dinosaur even then.The one thing that makes me sanguine about the Wrexham project not working is that they still have Parkinson in charge. Dinosaur football. Given that Presley was appointed at Dundee yesterday that Bradford-Cov game where they nearly came to blows in the stands seems like a sliding doors moment.

Also coincided with torp getting injured, and Your right, don’t get some of our fans, we didn’t lose the play offs because of wright, we lost because we couldn’t defend, story of the seasonIts a shame his poor spell coincided with the playoffs / end of season .. but that doesnt dismiss his contribution here which is very good on the whole .
Its also a shame fans will hold the playoffs against him
