Kastaneetr signing got us promoted. The slide that never ended was part of 3-3 draw that galvanised us and gave the belief to win the league

Still waiting for this to be agent talk and we actually end up with some unknown from the French 2nd division who costs a couple of hundred grand.

The sample size is as big as any other league, surely?

I’m just looking for an indication that a good goalscoring record in Turkey can translate to a good goalscoring record here.

It really is a tiny sample size.

There's about 5 or 6, and two of them are Nicolas Anelka and Kevin Campbell! So you have to go way back.

Just spoke to a Turkish mad football fan.

he says the big 2 Turkish clubs wanted Wright but couldn’t compete on the transfer fee.

quick, direct, composed in front of goal. … getting better each season .

To score aS many goals as Wright has in a bang average Turkish team is seen as very impressive within Turkey.

Estupinan (scorer of 'the worst hattrick ever') had a slightly better scoring rate at Hull than he did at Denizlispor the season before.

Ozan Tufan also for Hull and also last season also scored at a better rate in The Championship than in the Turkish league.

I know the sample size of players who’ve actually made the move is small, I just meant the size of the Turkish league itself is no different to other leagues!

Anelka and Campbell already had well-established records in England of course. The fact that there doesn’t appear to be many (if any) good examples of success in Turkey implying success in England means there is a big question mark over this deal for me. Especially considering his struggles in other leagues where there’s historically been a more established connection (Germany and the Netherlands).

Again - he’s relatively young, he’s got good physical attributes, he’s highly rated, I trust our scouting team. No reason why he can’t be great (and for £7 million, he better be). Great just to be talking about him. But for a club record signing, and given the state of our squad, I’m surprised we’re spending this much on a relatively unknown quantity.

If we don’t sign him and get someone else instead then it gives Cov Twitter admin the excuse to use this banger….

I suppose although its not a great comparison his transfer fee is similar to his US strike partner in the World Cup - Timothy Wear

This is it. I saw yesterday on some USMST blog that he’s scoring goals in a relatively poor team, so what can he do with talent around him?

van Ewijk is 74 I think too. For comparison I think Godden is 69 or 70 and Walker is 68. 71 is average mid table champ player really.

Gyokeres will be 75+ next year. I'd suggest Hamer probably sould be too.

Is 4 years really that crazy? Think normal for top clubs. We perhaps just used to these short term one or two year deals?

Yeah we're hardly going to spend this sort of money on a player and give him a 2 year contract.

It’s the plus one that raises eyebrows. Five year deals are pretty much unheard of for us.

Just limits risk of repeats like current Hamer situation. If he has a good season and clubs come sniffing, we are not held to ransom by 1 yr left etc

That will be optional

Agree we not used to it but maybe we need to start getting used to stuff rather than fearing it

That’s the idea when you sign players on large fees…

You’re judging a player on YouTube clips and FIFA ratings. Is there any data driving your opinion or are you complaining for the sake of it?

Where’s your optimism man?! 6 months ago I could not fathom the thought of paying €9m for a player! The signing may not work out - as is the case with any signing - surely you’ve got to judge once you’ve seen the player in person?

Well, I've got a song for him.

Scores with his left
And we're having a good time
Scores with his right
And we know that we feel fine
Slams it in the net
Ha..Ha...Haji Amir Wright!
