Chaplin is class...just not right for us.
Can't believe we've mugged off a higher league club with Chaplin, and for a fee it seems. Nice work MR / Dave Boddy / Tim...
Now time to tiptoe away very slowly whilst the ink dries and the money is confirmed in our account, before they realise they've been had
I had written him off by November - but I was absolutely wrongIt wasn’t evident to most fans, even around November they’d completely written McNulty off.
His Wiki page showing current club as Barnsley.
WTF who knew
Just a thought, but do Barnsley have anyone we might be interested in? Just putting 2&2 together given Robins comments around not selling Chaplin unless a replacement was lined up.
He scored two disallowed goals in his first few games, both excellent finishes. As his open play drought went on he snatched at chances. I'm sorry to see him go without having seen him at his best (though i think his excellent footwork and finish at Sunderland showed what he's capable of)See I disagree, I think Chaplin is more of a finisher than player like McNulty was.
For me Chaplin had intelligence and got in the right areas all the time... unfortunately (I note the irony from my top paragraph) he could not put the ball in the net.
If anything I think this is down to confidence
You are utterly cluelessAmazing how hes done absolutely fuck all since leaving here, despite his "good movement, pace and ability to run at defenders"
He had a little purple patch and that was that,
Every dog has his day, and hes had his.
Agree with this and we hardly ever played him in his rightful position. Barnsley obviously see great potential in him. I think he will be a very decent player.
Only reason I am happy to see him go is because seemingly he just doesn't fit our system.
No, out of the two players, only Julian Gray has been confirmed so far.Has he gone yet?
No, out of the two players, only Julian Gray has been confirmed so far.
He’s only scored goals with consistency at league 2 level or equivalent, (ie Scottish football which at best is on a par with league 2). And as for an international call up, ffs it was with Scotland, a team that’s recently been beaten by the mighty Kazakhstan!He’s been gone one season and is only 26, he has a few more years left to prove it wasn’t a purple patch.
Plus, I wouldn’t class 8 goals in 17 appearances for Hibs and an international call up as ‘fuck all’.
And for the record I’m not one of those clambering to have him back, but my point remains; it was always obvious he has talent, despite some of the knuckledraggers not seeing it initially.
Barnsley have Moore who is a decent big striker
Linked to Bristol City, Wigan and Millwall earlier in the window, so highly doubtful he'd drop back into L1. Think Barnsley put a hefty price tag on his head as well.
No I didn't mean to come to us, I mean if he played alongside Chaplin.
Source?Not even a Pompey sell on clause...
Fucking SISU again.

Yes he's left here scored 1 in 15 at Reading nearly all sub appearances and was frozen out, then moved to hibs and scored 8 in 17.
Hardly had the game time to prove anything elsewhere, he is a very good player and helped us get promoted, unsure why you have such a bad attitude towards the lad
8 in 17 is a great strike rate, fatso is probably one of these mugs who thinks the SPL is on a par with League 1
Out of curiosity because I can't judge by your reply, what standard is the SPL in your eyes in comparison to England
Down payment?£5 million I’ve heard
