This proven Championship striker with pace

[Th!stledo]

If .... they weren't already United players would Lavery, Clarke or Ched have been included in the list of prospects?
Sometimes the grass looks greener ....

 

[I should coco]

My argument with Bladezz was that he thought Dicko would cost much more

You may now have another arguement with Bladezz.

I think that he is a 'she'.

Say we got promoted season before last and they were still at their respective clubs, Bury, Chesterfield and Pigs.

I wouldn't even entertain Clarke or Ched as new signings for a newly promoted championship side no.
Lavery possibly, but he wouldn't be my first choice.

 

[sufcboy95]

We can't afford a quick championship striker. Our best bet is to take a chance on a youngster on loan

There you go Blade Too Ludicrous, a link to his 2015/16 goals - that's within the last 2 seasons. http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=45922&season_id=145

Last season he didn't play much.

HES STILL ONLY SCORED 11 LEAGUE GOALS SINCE LEAVING US 4 YEARS AGO

HES SHITE 2.75 goals a year

ALL 3 have played in the championship, so would be options as much as any player you care to mention, and CW chose them once , would argue hed look at them again which is the only choice Id care to believe in Hes offered them contracts now , has he not

Genuine question - in the last 5 years how many strikers have actually scored 30+ in a season?

Actually, here's the list of all those scoring 30 plus in a season since 2011/12 across all 4 divisions:

PL:
Suarez - 13/14

Championship:
Glenn Murray - 12/13

League One:
Sharp - 16/17
Jordan Rhodes - 11/12

League Two:
Tom Pope - 12/13

A sum total of 5 players.

the fact being names were being offered to replace what we have , one of which being on your list

Ched 6 years ago.
Clarke 3 years ago.
Lavery 3 years ago.

Hardly with sparkling records.

But the situation is that Lavery and Clarke played for a team that stormed the first division and accrued 100 points.
Yes, they didn't play many games and Ched was with relegated Chesterfield, but lets play the 'what if game' , like how we are doing with all the above prospects. After all 'proven' strikers are way out of our range?

They shouldn't be out of our price range though, I'm not talking splashing £15mil on an Assombalonga - what about a Daryl Murphy who's available for loan from Newcastle?

well ched didnt ask for the 6 year break, it was foisted on him in error

think of 5 or 600 players thats had similar to 3 year breaks from the championship
saints players forest players leeds players millwall players charlton players and even some of those we are still after havent played in the championship, but are good enough

ask yourself how did preston manage and huddersfield, brentford even piggies . dont remember any of those spending 20 million in their first season up

lets emulate wednesdays first season back in buys to stay up

But he didn't do anything in the championship before?

Literally got no idea what that last line means so I'm not gonna pretend I do.

I am not sure why you feel a 34 year old - apparently on £25,000 wk - is a better option than what we have?

He's played championship football for the past 8 years, and been very impressive.
There's a reason Newcastle signed him.

If you don't think Daryl Murphy is better than what we have it really is pointless carrying this conversation on.

but Brighton think hes peaked and inadequate for the prem
its all about opinion
his attitude stunk when he engineered his transfer out , wouldnt want him back , doesnt fit our ethos

Who Daryl Murphy? For Newcastle?
Yeah mate, I was gutted when we sold the big powerful Irish targetman that we've never had.

and , again you treat it like players dont move around division
and very few spend 3 years in jail for crimes they didnt commit

He had a calf injury most of the season ... so 34 yr old recovering from injury on £25,000 wk is a better option than what we've got?
Seriously fella we're not on the same page.

thought you was on about murphy ex us whos been listed

and Daryl Murphy is not an option wed look at too old for CW needs

He is much better than we've got, yes he is.
On loan doesn't mean we have to cover all his wages by the way. He'll go to the bidder who offers the highest percentage, which I expect we'll be beaten on by someone like Villa or Hull.

All about opinions ... and yours is wrong..

What do you mean?

 

[blade too long]

What do you mean?

in hard figures

ched has scored 23 in 98 championship games in his career 1 in 4 near enough
and one prem goal in 3

blackman has scored 18 in 97 1 in 5

speaks for itself

Blackman has scored 20 Championsip goals.

used wikis figures , but if its 20 its still less, is it not
arguing over one or 2 career goal shows how weak the argument was

Wikipedia says 20.
