Not a similar age though Grenners

No we were comparing Clive Platt to Max Biamou. Don't try to wriggle out of this one kid you've fucked up big style on this

How long until it moves to comparing him with Messi and Ronaldo?

Well I haven’t as I’ve already stated - as for you you’ve hardly got much confidence - it wasn’t even worth a fiver was it?

It was at a higher level and in a side that tried to grind out results. He fitted that style of play.

When a similar age to Biamou platt I think had a season in league two for MK Dons and scored around 20 goals.

You constantly deflect and move the goal posts.

He scored 3 goals in his first season and all those goals were scored by mid-October, the following season he mustered 4 goals. He was hopelessly out of his depth in the Championship. Did he fit the style of play that well? Not really. He gave away many fouls, didn't really win that many headers and when he did, they hardly went to any of our players. He had the briefest of honeymoon periods where he got a few assists and goals.

In the season you refer to, he scored 18 goals, which was an anomaly since his career averages are about 8-10 goals (in all competitions) in L2 and L1. Biamou has scored 9 goals in all competitions this year, which is neither particularly good or bad.

It's irrelevant what Platt did in one season for MK Dons at L2 level about 5 or 6 seasons before he joined us.

Basically, the question is name a worse Coventry City number 9 who has played in Division 4 who's first name begins with M, second with B and is French.

Was willing to put more on with the sensible caveat for a season ending injury in place.

That was never about charity though was in Grenners it was about feeding your ego.

Still you fannied out

Caveats are pointless as no charity then benefits.

On the Doyle bet the point there was if he was fit enough to last 31 league games.

He could have bust his Achilles in game one. No caveats there.

Wasn't that it was because it was a bet about his fitness rather than goalscoring?

It's not about the charity though grenners is it, it's about your fragile ego and a sad attempt to prop it up after you've been laughed at on here.

Surely when you are betting about how many appearances somebody makes because of a disagreement about fitness that is the whole bet? If it's about goals or assists it's a bit different.

David, 'fragile' is the last word that I would use to describe Grendel's ego.

My bet on Leon Clarke was 15 goals - no minimum games?

I think I have only ever had 2 £50 notes in my entire life and one of those occasions was my taking a payment off a customer for drinks at a hotel bar.

Red colour aren't they?

Been elsewhere today, but picking up on "THE BET", how come Grendel has set the bar so high, ie 10 goals in the season, when he says how poor Biamou is to have scored only 5 in League 2 this season.
So he's putting a bet out that Max will score double that number in a higher league - incredible!

As an aside, and back to the original topic, I thought Reid might be retained, as he has looked quite useful when he has come on late in games. Perhaps he was after the same money he got out of us last time?

Indeed.

He's crap, so let's expect more from him at a higher level than last year.

Hmmmm...

I'm going to reiterate both Grant Holt and Ricky Lambert both took off as players around his age with teams at this level then rose through the leagues with them .
They hadn't been prolific until that point .
