12 divided by 27 is less than 0.5 per game. Including the play offs it’s 29 games. 5 goals were in 2 games so it’s 7 goals in the other 27 games hardly prolific.

Penalties and headers don’t count either so it’s even less #WrightOut

Don’t think 12 goals is irreplaceable and his lack of effort in some games is shocking. We need a striker who turns up every time and even if not scoring to be affecting the game.
You can tell within 5 mins of KO if he can be arsed or not and when not we’re playing with 10 men.
I don’t see him as a sole striker through the middle as too often he doesn’t fancy the battle with the centre halves.
If we could get our money back I’m sure the scouting team could find better.

Remember when scoring a hat trick was a good thing for a striker?

This new obsession with ‘games scored in’ is odd. Most top end strikers in most leagues will generally struggle much better than a goal every 3 games. Gyokeres “only” scored in 17 games or so in 22/23. Out of 50 games, some could argue “it’s hardly prolific”…

I’d be happy if we ship out Simms or BTA.

Then bring in a new RW and new ST.

So for the new season have the options of

LW - Wright/ EMC
RW - Saka/ New RW
CF - New CF/ Wright/ Simms or BTA/ Bassette

Just back from 'tapas and tango' at Radford Social. He said the deal is sorted, just waiting on the announcement. Bit of a worry that he got a takeaway from Fortune House, especially after the dancing and nibbles.

The trouble with Wright is that he just won't pass the ball. Instead, he creates a cul-de-sac for himself, that he just can't get out of. Sure, he can cross the ball, but there are so many times when he needs to keep the attack flowing by passing.
Given all that, he scores goals, and that's what we bought him for.

It’s a shame you get the reference, it was mocking Eni Aluko’s infamous ‘you do the maths’ quote.

However, your maths is wrong because it was 5 goals in 3 games; Sunderland, Plymouth and Burnley. So you’re penalising a striker for scoring a hattrick against Sunderland which was arguably our most important win of the season because tilted the odds in our favour on finishing in the Top 6.

Bad maths aside, to put into context how silly your argument is… Piroe was the top scorer in the division with 19 goals, in 3 games he scored 2+ goals (6 v Stoke over 2 games). Which means he scored 14 goals in 46 games… is he also “hardly prolific”?

Which, btw, Haji’s ratio was better even including the 2 playoff games. Bearing in mind Piroe cost £10m raising to £12m…

It’s not bad maths I was replying to the goal a game bollocks and the 5 in 2 games refers to 3 v Sunderland and 2 v Oxford.
Is he a good player? When he turns up yes very good, but there are far too many games he doesn’t and as a result is not irreplaceable.
Some fans seem to have him on a pedestal as the reincarnation of Pele for some reason, maybe because our other forwards have been shit this season
My opinion is we get £9m for him we could get a more consistent player. This is a forum where different opinions should exist without immediate calling out of anyone who doesn’t agree with the majority.

Given his scoring record in the Championship £9m would be a very poor deal for us IMO.

Was he injured last season ? He didn’t feature much after Xmas and they played a central midfielder at right back for the run in.

Strange take, you must be on a wind up. We don’t make the playoffs if Haji doesn’t score that last minute winner v Oxford or a hattrick v Sunderland. So targeting those two games is odd, if you focused on his missed chances, that’s something we can work with as that actually makes sense, all due respect.

He is inconsistent yet his 31 goals in 81 games suggests otherwise and his record is better than most Championship strikers next season.

Selling for £9m after paying £7.7m with 2 good goal scoring seasons is just a nonsensical take.

He’s a legend in my book. Absolutely smashed it for me on a FM22 (or FM21) York save. For that reason alone, I’m in.

18 goals a d 7 assists in 45 games this season, can play anywhere in the forward line including number 10, great stats as he’s not just a goalscorer but is creative as well, however he isnt great in the air and is 27 so may not have much future sell on so may be medium risk high reward if it pays off

Kept on eye on him since Hilssner went to Oldham and i started paying attention to their games and noticed he was decent. Could be a good pickup but given age/experience it depends largely on the fee of course.

Apparently according to Wrexham insider, fee is around £2.5 to 3 million. Not sure how good they are though
