tbf bowler was impossible to get as he already played for 2 clubs and the other 2 are dog shit.

Two goals in 20 appearances last season in the Premier League, so twice as prolific as Waghorn was in the Championship. So given that you thought getting rid of Waghorn was a big mistake this guy sounds fantastic.His goalscoring record is - well non existent
It's helpful to ignore Waghorn's 100+ other games at this level to make your point isn't itTwo goals in 20 appearances last season in the Premier League, so twice as prolific as Waghorn was in the Championship.

Pretty sure vast majority of his appearances were as a late substitute.
Wasn't he one of the three musketeers?With a bit of luck it’s Porteous
That Leeds lad has alotnof ability and tbh were in no position to stick up our noses at him, lack of prem goals or not.
Unless we want to use Nee for the season that is
I’m starting to think we should’ve gone for Morrison from Cardiff. Motm in his first game for Rotherham last week. Dunno how he did this but they held Watford to a draw.There are some parallels but we've got 35 points from 27 games at the moment compared with 22 from 27 in that season. Our biggest risk is not getting an experienced centre half in as we just cannot keep conceding at this rate.
Yep, would have been just what we needed for 6 months. I get the feeling Robins and Co were too ambitious thinking they'd be able to get 3 ideal players in this window when really it should've been a case of a couple of stop gaps until the end of the seasonI’m starting to think we should’ve gone for Morrison from Cardiff.

My point was that Gelhardt has scored some goals, and I believe he has been highly rated, and tipped to make it in the Premier League.It's helpful to ignore Waghorn's 100+ other games at this level to make your point isn't it
Think he has only scored two for Leeds in over 30 appearances, don’t know how many he has scored for Wigan but the idea of flogging Gyorkeres and getting him in place is plain potty.My point was that Gelhardt has scored some goals, and I believe he has been highly rated, and tipped to make it in the Premier League.
All the goals Waghorn scored years ago don't have much relevance now. In the last three seasons it's 5, 1 and 1 (pen). Who do you think will score the most goals over the next two years out of Waghorn and Gelhardt? And who will be playing at the higher level?
1 in 21 appearances for Wigan over all competitions.I’m

Hes 20. Better than a goal every other game across his youth/reserve career though.
I was not in any way suggesting flogging Gyokeres. I was just contesting the assertion that he has never scored a goal. And noting that his scoring record is better than Waghorn's who some feel is a massive loss.I’m

The last recruitment team were at least able to identify affordable, permanent signings who could improve the quality of the squad. This new team under Dean Austin hasn’t exactly hit the ground running in that regard.We just don’t have the money or lure to get any top players at this level unfortunately. We have to pick through players that others don’t want. If we want a player that others are also linked with, we’re bottom of that list.

we had a small squad on 31st dec. since then we have loaned out 2 and loaned in 2. the squad is still pathetically small. i want us to have a normal sized squad that can actually compete in the league and not implode when we have a couple of injuries. is that too much to ask?
thats great - so was ponticelli
How many games did Ponticelli play in PL2? Or for that matter the Prem.
You really do make yourself look silly sometimes.
I have seen him a few times on Sky and BT.What is silly is someone whose I think never seen a guy play - not recognised the fact that he has played over 30 games in the championship with no success - can now fit into the team as he scored a couple of late goals for Leeds
What’s his strengths? I’d he a target man, pace, good in the air?
I doubt you’d know.
We had a champions league player play yesterday. How did he do?

He’s not a target man no, he’s more likely to play in the AM/SS role like O’Hare. But what’s ridiculous is writing off a 20 year old playing in the Prem and for England in his age group and comparing him to someone a year younger in an entirely different position who hasn’t come close to playing outside of early stage cup games.

Well somebody has just said they'd take him plus £12m for GyokeresHe’s not a target man no, he’s more likely to play in the AM/SS role like O’Hare.

Yeah, from what I have seen of him, I would love to have him here. Like O'Hare though, don't expect anything in the way of goals coming from him.He's a decent player though. Played in all but 5 of Leeds Premier League games this season (albeit a few minutes a game).
1 goal in 19 games for Wigan
We are told you never pay all the transfer fee upfront, so this is the ideal time to sign players we want now, not wait until the summer when everyone else will try for these players. come on king spend it now dont wait for the summer, or another season passes by, spend what is available now and pay later as is always the case. Make a difference now, dont wait tomorrow never comes, we wont have to get so many players in the summer then.
The main issue is we're in danger of a team of teenagers and 20yos, and that's crying out for some experience in there.
