He played in the lower leagues for a bit and his record was ok I suppose but never the same as Boro where his strike rate was ridiculous
To be fair to Culpin, he was being asked to step up to the top flight. I'm pretty sure he would have scored plenty in the league we are in now.
Although this is true, the significant difference between them both is that Mifsud was frighteningly quick, alas Chaplin is anything but.Didnt stop Mifsud. Pretty sure his physical stats were lower than that too.

Chaplins movement is excellent and his runs are very intelligent, he's always finding space in the box, it's the likes of Luke Thomas whose final ball/decision making was poor.his movement is poor, his runs are not intelligent
I was at bradford and havent changed my mindNo mention of Little Sheff or Adam Armstrong
In the ‘midgets can’t score’ debate.
If the Chaplin bashers had been to the Bradford game they would have changed their mind about his ability and his potential.
He just doesn’t fit in the system Robins plays-towards the latter end of the season coming on as a winger (not quick enough) or as the main striker (not a target man) and he’s not really a number 10 either!

Great expectations said the nice lad comment for referenceNice lad? Who’s said that? I actually think Chaplins movement is good, not just a hard worker. He’s not really played in his position because, like a lot have said, he didn’t suit the system last year. However, he was obviously bought for a reason and we didn’t really settle on that system for a couple months. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if Robins goes for what he was planning originally.

Sooooo, one comment.
Ah the old nice lad and hard worker. All the comments here are describing an expensive Ponticelli. Chaplin isn't suited to the system or style we play and, like Portsmouth, I don't feel is good enough for the league we are in either.
hahahahah you're bananasI think Chaplin has always fancied himself as a Paul Scholes type player in the pocket. he seemed to play that way, rather than a striker like McNulty. Paul Scholes being part of Salford iirc

Not trying to make a comparison, but Paul Culpin also knew where the net was.
And we lose 200,000 not worth it , think we should keep him as he needs to be given timeMy lad reckons this is about to be announced by Salford , he's been right before says one of his mates is in the know, £300k
And we lose 200,000 not worth it , think we should keep him as he needs to be given time
We wouldn't lose 200,000 as we would save the rest on wages over his contractAnd we lose 200,000 not worth it , think we should keep him as he needs to be given time
You mean given a clue surely.And we lose 200,000 not worth it , think we should keep him as he needs to be given time
Maybe they were talking about salmon or pheasants?:emoji_thinking:Not sure if it’s been mentioned (can’t be bothered to read through 3 pages!!)
Bit of a shite rumour to start, so could be something in it?
I think he will come good with a good pre season, but at the same time, if the offer was good enough, why not?
We need goals, time will tell if he can bring them, struck me as though robins didn’t really know where to play him. when he first signed he was described as being one of the best poachers about (was it Baker who said that?) yet we played him very deep for a poacher?
We've actually already lost 500k (if you believe the reports)And we lose 200,000 not worth it , think we should keep him as he needs to be given time

This transfer would give us the opportunity to recoup 300k, and offload another unsuccessful signing from last season.
If we sold him would we still have to pay pompey when he plays 100 games etc for Salford for the add on s?We obviously didn’t pay anywhere near £500K up front
