Billeh and Didseh already fill the role of experience championship goalscorers. Would be an odd un.

 

[Bladesman]

Is he the one who put it in his own net when we battered Derby at the lane?

Yup

 

[dc_blade]

yeah, no.

 

[Yogi]

An experienced championship striker surely is the very bottom of our list of needs?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Yes what we need is more strikers

 

[Rudders]

Small, slow, old and not very prolific. The exact opposite of what we need. I presume Russell's agent bought an extremely expensive lunch for that hack at the Sun...

 

[mancunianblade]

He retired 3 years ago when he moved to the MLS. cant see it

 

[Hagansbootlaces]

Just don't see the logic, club without a manager, looking at a player, who presumably moved to the MLS because of a lack of offers/deal from a Championship club, more like his agent drumming up business, knowing the club is a little busy trying to get a deal done with a manager, than deny the story in the press

 

[Davalon]

Give over.

Fair play to the agents of Jonny Russell, that's cracking work to conjure up that exposure.

That's nothing, wait for the real talent to emerge,, the agent that gets Monks name on the Palace shortlist!

Rumour is there's alleged disdain towards GM regarding his handling of contract negotiations at his previous clubs.

Seems to have built a career on 6 months of success at Swansea 8 years ago, done nothing since and every appointment has been a step down on the previous one,,except of course at the Massive, were it appears even despite the billions of pounds available, a state of the art stadium, players that are PL and International standard,,he escaped relegation the first season and did worse in the second.

Best days behind him. Not for me

One ain’t going to be here next season

He was shit when his day's were in front of him

I thought he weren’t that bad but that was then

It'll be Billy to leave imo... SJ is much more likely to see value in Didzy, he is an absolute baller, and a unique player who's done it in the EPL even when the shits hit the fan

Sharp has his undeniable qualities for sure, but not sure they're qualities SJ will look for... i think he will look to shake things up somewhat and break apart the influential Wilder lot.

It wouldn't surprise me if we loaned/sold Billy to Sunderland or Wilder's next club wherever that is. The Big problem is he is practically guaranteed to hit 15+ goals if he starts most games in Champ, and i doubt he'd stoop to League One. We just can't afford to gift another team vying for promotion a goalscorer like that.

 

[Bladesman]

Yup

It was a decent strike to be fair:

 

[gavtheblade]

Be better off with Jack Russell behind the sticks.
What a pathetic shout when we still haven't got a manager to identify his own targets.

 

[The Crab]

Well if that's the standard of target I must have fallen asleep and missed another relegation

 

[Russ]

Nice name.

 

[KoppedOff]

Its a typo.

Pigs favourites because Russel prefers a Beres pork sarni to a tofu and lettuce wrap.
