Transfer Rumour Haji Wright (3 Viewers)

Not a fan of all these people that post potential songs for players, as most are shite, but wouldn't actually mind this instead of olé olé;

 
Just further illustrates that those who called him a flop or shit know absolutely nothing about football
 
Are you pleased Wright scored today?
Absolutely. Second goal superb.
Just because I rated Gyokores above both doesn't mean I don't want Wright or Simms to succeed . Is that hard to understand?
 
I think what we have to accept with Wright and Simms is that their football is rarely going to be a thing of beauty and it will be taking the rough with the smooth. Take Haji.How many times have we said that we don’t care how well a striker plays as long as they find the net? Case in point. Does lots of trampoline foot first touches but then wins the game with a tidy finish

Think both are better when they play instinctively.

He’ll prove the doubters wrong. As will simms.

Over the years there are not many players who have scored 20 goals in a season for us.

It’s now possible at least Wright or Simms will do that. Who’s done it since the EFL era….Gyokeres? Anyone else?

100%. Wright today and 2 of Simms goals against Rotherham. I guess you could even include his first despite the clanger he still had to react quickly

I mean arguably they already have. People just need to accept their shortcomings and realise they don’t matter if the ball goes in the net

Let's be honest if they didn't have shortcomings they wouldn't be playing for us and both be worth 15-20 million

Yeh that’s fair enough. Not even sure I mean shortcomings, just how bloody awkward they look sometimes. Fact is they are on the way to replacing the Gus and Vik goals which is what they were bought for

I remember the season Adam Armstrong was on fire (20 in 40 I think?), always thought he’d go on to do way more than he did, but he was absolutely special that first half of the season.

Gyokeres is light years ahead . That's no disrespect to Wright because Gyokores is better than any striker in this league.

Yes but he wasn't in his first season in this League. I am not saying Wright is better, just saying he has done really well.
 
Both Simms and Wright have done well. The thick twats on here fail to understand that if you want a direct replacement for Gyokeres you have to pay 25 million quid. The lack of intelligence amongst our fanbase is astounding. People calling Simms shit and Wright a waste of money are embarrassing
 
I'm thinking it's time to up the game maybe like in the week.
The love affair the likes Rosenior gets is nauseating!
 
Just caught Haji’s second goal again on the highlights. What a top goal that was. Nice first touch takes it away from defence, then right in the bottom corner from 20 yards out on his left foot too.

Nice to see another side of his finishing as he’s scored a lot from close range/follow ups.

Not that I’m comparing the two players, that would be silly, but Messi scored an almost identical goal against Mexico in the World Cup and everyone was creaming themselves over it.
 
So it's official.

We have the worst finisher in the league.

To rub salt into the wound we paid 8M for this 26 year old.

You can see why we were interested whether we went up or not last season.

I actually think he didn't do enough majority of game but fact is even when he's not amazing he is helping us and stats clearly show that

Goal and assist today. 15 goals now? Must be near double digits for assists if not more.

Partnership with simms blossoming.

He's only gonna get better

He was off the pace for a fair bit of the game but seemed to hit a Mario star power-up in the last 20 minutes. Very hard to argue with his output this season.
 
And to this USA didn't call him up. Laughable. He's unbelievable. Wolves couldn't believe what they were up against with Simms and Haji today. Two very unique footballers.
You slaughtered Simms after Wolves away..wow
 
Been thinking this for a long time now and it's confusing me.

There is absolutely no doubt about Haji's contributions this season. BUT, does anyone else feel like he's only going at about 75-80%? As in, there is more to come/find in him next season?

He very rarely goes full tilt for me. That is the next step for him I suppose.

I can't see Robins putting up with that, I think it's just his style.

Will he grow? Yes

Is he running at 75%? no.

He started slow as he adjusted but you can't say he wasn't trying. He's tracking back and making up ground for counter attacks. I think we'll see more from him as he becomes more experienced in our team.
 
I'm not saying he is deliberately coasting or not trying.

I think there's more pace, more power, more determination, more aggression etc in him that we only see in glimpses.
