Indy 3,471 Posted January 24, 2018 Six figure sum, £1000.00 not a bad risk......In reality looks like a very realistic gamble, better than paying probably more on loan fees for that 22 year old who can’t score from Boro.Good size, young and probably will settle well given the number of countrymen in our squad.Would prefer this type of signing than a loan.

Trevor Hockey's Beard 606 Posted January 24, 2018 How many more Germans do we need to sign before we qualify to play in the Bundesliga? Away matches would really be an adventure then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,610 Posted January 24, 2018 Its about balance. Signings like this to add to Oliveira relatively low risk.A couple of signings like this and replace Oliveira is a different kettle of fish.These types of signings need to be balanced out by some signings of more "over ready" players.

Nuff Said 5,965 Posted January 24, 2018 Let’s face it, for some posters on here, when we spend money on ‘known’ expensive players we should be looking for lower league or foreign gems, and when we do sign lower league or foreign players we should be buying proven Championship talent. The club will never be in the right unless we win the PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We sold a 31 years old striker, soon to be 32, who hasn’t been able to find the net consistently this season, e a toy the same reason Stoke City sold him in the first place. We have a 24years old striker possibly coming in who has scored 9 in 15 games this season, football is football, wherever you play, I know what I prefer!

Les 0 Posted January 24, 2018 I dunno, all these Germans coming in, according to Stan Boardman a few years ago, it was ''the Gerrmans '' who bombed his chip shop.Maybe this a different type of invasion, but best to still keep an eye on yer local chippy though!!!(Tongue very firmly in cheek).

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,223 Posted January 24, 2018 I do not understand why a supporter would want write somebody off before they have even signed for us.

Guest Posted January 24, 2018 He''s 35 & 16 stone. Just the sort of dynamic young prospect we need to be signing. :-) I''m sure with the prices at Carrow Road, we could get him down to 15stone 13lb for next season. And he could be useful as a doorman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peateabee 0 Posted January 24, 2018 slightly preferred the look of Nathael Julan, who we were linked with. This one strikes me as more of a risk than our other signings, but who knows. We certainly need a striker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
