Loads of people were slagging him off and said he wasn't good enough (i'm not saying you did). Here's a few from a quick search:











And many many more.

And the position he plays is arguably the toughest on the pitch, which is why plenty of big strikers only grow fully into the role relatively late in their careers. Haji hasn't played in a league like this before so we have to give him time to adapt, and more support in the form of runners from midfield.

Time to practice tap ins as well.

Problem is that the majority have made their minds up that he’s a cart house rightly or wrongly. It’s going to need an incredible turnaround ASAP to not damage long term peoples opinion of him as a player.

Remember Bakayoko? Never got rid of the initial opinion he was simply dross.

I hope he does unbelievably well from 3pm Saturday but it’s not been good for £7.7m.

He already gives the impression that even he thinks he's a cart horse. Already looks drained of self belief. That moment on Monday where he had the opportunity to chase down a stray pass, semi-committed to it then changed his mind and went for it before pulling back again was quite revealing. With the pace he has shown in previous games he'd have made it had he gone full pelt.

Just looks like someone who's given up.

I’d imagine that Robins and Vivesh are in quiet moments cussing away.

I'm well up for giving him some time, he looks incredibly raw for this league but Gyok did too. His price tag is definitely an issue as people are expecting to see the finished article rather than a player with potential. We have to buy players with potential otherwise we'd be trying to spend the same money we got for Gyok and Hamer on one player replacements who we wouldn't be able to afford the wages for. It's tough cause we all remember we were a few kicks from the premier league but it's where we are at.
Click to expand...
He's not Gyok though.
Your can't compare anyone to Gyok, that would be unfair. You can only judge a player on what you see, and at the moment both Wright and Simms are struggling. Sure they might both improve, but we've seen very little talent from either of them so far, and although Simms showed a big improvement in the first half against Huddersfield, he still needs to push on.

You would think the finished product at championship level for £7.7M.

As a bare minimum.

Strikers costing teams this season 750k likes of Whittaker are banging in hatricks. In comparison this has been horrendous business.

Not even expecting anything spectacular. Just the basics would do from a striker.

Simms was decent in the cameo vs Cardiff too. He was directly involved in our 2bd goal lovely little dinked pass over defenders legs for Da Silva to cross.

See plenty in Simms to be encouraged.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong big time. For the sake of not wasting a record transfer fee.

The lad simply has got to WANT IT.

It's a basic ingredient signing hungry greedy players!

Wright clearly isn't the player he's currently demonstrating on the pitch. I don't know what's wrong with him but he has much more to offer than this. He had interest from some big clubs in Europe before he came to us, Villareal reportedly had an offer turned down for 8.7 million, Rangers wanted him as well. I think it's a mental issue, but it looks like he's put in the hard yards in his career and I doubt he's just going to let himself fail now.

Or your going to look stupid with everyone saying "I told you so"


Be interesting to see what happens. I hope he comes good eventually if only to give us some value for that rediculous price tag.

lot of it is probably down to attitude and Billy big boots syndrome!you only need to look how he reacted when he missed that open goal late on in the Huddersfield game.
he needs to get his head down and do the basics like fight for the ball and hold it to bring in the others on the pitch and the goals will come.

This is a total crock of shite. No evidence that he has a big ego or see's himself as "billy big boots". If anything, he's a player who's extremely low on confidence right now - so the opposite! Watch any of his interviews and you can see that he comes across as down to earth and prepared to work hard. He's going to have to do that now.

From what I seen of him at the sky blue tavern recently he’s a child in a man’s body.

And?

Akpom was 26 last summer and had never managed more than 10 league goals in a season. Then it clicked at Boro and he got 28.

I'll judge him when he's getting proper service from midfield rather than playing in front of the dullest setup in the division.

He doesn’t appear a very confident person and shy. Similar to when an apprentice turns up on their first day.

Robin's first signing was Doyle.

It's been Robin's big belief to get characters into the room .think this is an issue this season. He said recently it's so quite in dressing room. They all need a fucking rocket up their arses.

Next international break they really need to do some team bonding shit.
