Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 1, 2016 Terrific goal!Apparently a free agent?! I know you shouldn''t get carried away and sign players based on one tournament (rommedhal, brolin etc.) but surely worth a go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted July 2, 2016 Sam Vokes - the first Englishman to score in a quarter final of a Euro Championships since Hal Robson-Kanu and Ashley Williams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donkey dangler 0 Posted July 10, 2016 Regarding the idea of signing Robson Kanu,NO! Only 3 league goals for Reading last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted July 10, 2016 On a free transfer (regardless of the higher wages) we would be mad not to be interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donkey dangler 0 Posted July 10, 2016 Why should we be interested in a striker who only scored 3 league goals last season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommo 51 Posted July 10, 2016 Would be a good addition but seemingly bound for prem league with hull or Swansea .Would like to see Anichebe on a free but looks like he is off to Midlands club - Derby Birmingham or wolves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted July 10, 2016 He''s got a bit about him. He can play through the middle or from wide areas. He has a bit of physical presence but also has the pace to stretch defences.He may not be a prolific scorer but that doesn''t make him a bad player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,717 Posted July 10, 2016 Looks like some posters expectations are slowly getting lower and lower. The suggestion of a signing like this would have been laughed off this message board a few short weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,558 Posted July 11, 2016 I don''t think it is our expectations lowering, more than Robson-Kanu''s stock has (artificially) risen significantly over the last couple of weeks. Before this tournament I think he would have been a target for a mid-table club like Ipswich. Scores one excellent goal and suddenly Premier League teams are interested.

Mason 47 1,371 Posted July 11, 2016 Not far off what has also happened to our own Robbie Brady. Scored one very dramatic late header and a penalty, which has added 5-8mil onto our asking price.Don''t get me wrong, I think Brady is a good player and can and will improve further in future, but wind back a month or two and I''ll doubt you''ll find most of us saying £20 million Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,558 Posted July 11, 2016 We also benefited from that with Leroy Fer- scoring at a World Cup added £1-2m onto his value I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 11, 2016 Bournemouth dropping £15m on Ibe has also suddenly warped the market.Seasons when new TV deals kick in have weird summer transfer windows. No one knows what anyone is worth anymore and prices fluctuate wildly.Also, the weak pound has made shopping in the continent much more expensive than normal. Harder to find value than ever this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
