What would you say his strengths and weaknesses are as a player?
He holds the ball up well, brings others into the game, he’s quick, gives 100% all game and has an eye for goal. He has a great relationship with the fans and he understands our passion for the club. The Seasiders fans have accepted that he’ll be off, he’s too good for L1 now (he scored 23 goals last time we were there) but they’re sad to see him go. He’ll be a good addition to any Championship side and had we had more players like him we’d have stayed up.What would you say his strengths and weaknesses are as a player?
Our fans recognise Mark Robins as the best manager in the EFL, so if anybody could develop Jerry Yates, it’s him.Seems like a good player to have - price rather than quality is the issue for me.
If they have already refused a 2.5m bid, certainly looking for 3m+. Is that good value - depends if MR thinks he can improve him and he fits in.
If we can get two strikers who can each get 15 goals for 6m combined in the championship, surely not a bad start for a promotion push. I think it is unlikely we will get another striker who scored 20+, so spreading goals around is a good start.

Championship is a different ball game. JCH was poor in the Championship with Peterborough. Chaplin may be ok next year but no guarantee. Both left because they were not good enough for what we needed at the time. Dabo and Rose were outstanding in L1. Not so good in the higher league. How many of Yates goals were from open play? Godden is brilliant at penaltiesChaplin and JCH had poor records here yet went to score 20+ goals once they left. Yates playing alongside better quality players will allow his quality to shine more.
That being said I'd see him as a 2nd striker and not a direct replacement for Yok.
Yates looks good but overpriced. If Vik and Hamer were 1k as reported, we need to look elsewhereOur fans recognise Mark Robins as the best manager in the EFL, so if anybody could develop Jerry Yates, it’s him.
I think that price is a bit too high for us to spend on him.I’ve seen Jerry Yates many times for Blackpool. He never stops running, gives everything every game and has a good eye for goal. Blackpool fans are keen to keep him but resigned to losing him following relegation. He’s not the same sort of player as Gyokores, but if City get him (West Brom, Bristol City and Ipswich - who I believe are the club who had £2.5m turned down - are also interested) they will have got a really good Championship player. He has 2 years left at Bloomfield Rd including the year’s option so I think £4m would get him.
Looking at top goalscorers in championship this year, Middlesbrough had best pair of 39 goals, but that was rare. Millwall next with 30 and Burnley/us had combined 29.
Given our strong defense/clean sheets, we can win games 1-0.
"Should" is key here. I wouldn't want us to spend 4m on him (unless MR thinks it is good value).Hes decent and I wouldn't say no
But 4 million is a fucking joke of a price.
They're in L1 and he hasn't exactly ripped up trees in his career, 1.5 should be enough
I haven't seen him play either!I wouldn’t pay that for him (still never seen him play) but he scored as many non penalty goals as Hamer playing up front and is 26 so not likely to massively improve. If we were going to spend £4m on a striker I’d go abroad.
He scored 14 goals is a fucking dreadful Blackpool side that’s very promisingHes decent and I wouldn't say no

How many pennos?
Hamer was playing in a much better sideSo he got 11 from open play then
As many as Hamer did and he's not even a striker.
Don't get me wrong I wouldn't be averse to him he's decent, but 4million is daylight robbery
it is just this fake twitter accountNot seen one credible source linking us with him anyway

Or 5 more than Allen who's a dwarf and 7th choice midfielder!So he got 11 from open play then

thisIt's the price more than the strike rate that's the concern.
I don’t think he is similar to Godden at all.He’s a similar player to Godden and probably not much better than him?
Yeah but ours love biamou.I'm keen, he's very good and the Blackpool fan's love him, that's normally a good yardstick.
