NWC 315 Posted June 11, 2019 Disappointed that we didn't take a punt on this guy. Prolific scorer albeit at a significantly lower level and would have fitted in to the current recruitment strategy. I work with a couple of Tranmere ST's and they are gutted he's gone somewhere as lowly as Ipswich!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROBFLECK 134 Posted June 11, 2019 Well...there must be a lack of transfer activity at Carrow road...as we're discussing the signing of a new scummer at pub league level on this forum ... 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 4,145 Posted June 11, 2019 Crikey, if we’re going to be relying on taking wild punts on guys in their late 20s - and who have never played above L2 - to see us to PL safety, that would be rather scary. He may come off and be the ‘next Holt’, but I’m somewhat doubtful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HertsCanary93 223 Posted June 11, 2019 Yellow glasses off. He is a great signing for league 1 team - I would be very excited. He's never scored a goal higher than League 2 though - I would hope for a lot more from the player we sign to push Pukki. He would be a bit of a punt for a championship team, let alone one of the best 20 teams in the country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,608 Posted June 11, 2019 Nowhere near good enough for us. Unfortunately may be a decent signing for the sc*m at the level they now ply their trade though. Lambo clearly looking to unearth another Holt and he does have a touch of the Holty about him from what I've seen of him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 10,761 Posted June 11, 2019 Aren't all his goals in League 2? He doesn't even have a main physical attribute like exceptional pace or height. Wouldn't have been good enough for us even if we had stayed in the Championship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) He looked decent in the playoff games, but he's pretty short and lacking Holt's physicality. For us, I'd prefer Jack Marriott. Still only 24 and looked great for Derby when they put him on the pitch. Edited June 11, 2019 by Surfer 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted June 11, 2019 I think the days are gone when you could whistle up someone from a lower league club and he would just carry on scoring. Strikers have to play a dual role now and in the EPL, they will find chances harder to come by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splendidrush 720 Posted June 11, 2019 Truth is, they could sign Messi but without service he's going to struggle. Yes Judge is quality at that level but he's also injury prone and League One is physically demanding. The fact that they think they're a big Club can work against them, other Teams will up their game and will make life difficult for their less experienced players. I'm sure Lambert will pick up some more freebies but I can't see them walking it the way some are expecting on TWTD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 609 Posted June 13, 2019 Was having a look at the forum that those bin dipping troglodytes like to call 'home' and noticed a FOOKIN hilarious post about Norwood. Apparently he's having a hair transplant using his signing on fee! I wouldn't waste your money, mate. You're gonna be pulling it out again after 5 games! 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
