January 28, 20251 yr Hopefully he’s laying them off for Collins & McAtee to twat in from edge of the box & not permanently joining Desmond, Mendes, Demps & Forino on the exercise bikes.

Southwood came highly rated. It seemed odd that Salford would think they had a chance of signing him! Although a small operation, you'd think Salford would have enough intel not to watch players beyond their reach. Equally, we've bought someone who isn't good enough for our level. Having seen him, i think he's up to it. Great with his feet and definitely brings something to our team. Hard to compare to Baxter this season simply due to the weirdness of the season so far!

When he's not injured he seems like he could be what we're looking for as he can hold the ball under pressure, is pretty quick when he needs to be, has good feet and brings other players into the game. Useful defensively too. Just doesn't score many himself.

I haven't - mainly EFL highlight shows, press reviews, fans forums etc but you can learn a lot about players styles and characteristics from other people as well as the media. Even as a 16 year old making his debut for NC he did a decent job of hold up play against big CBs but now he's a big mobile lad and that's been missing from our squad for a while now. I suspect he could be good for us if his hammie is sorted. Edited January 28, 20251 yr by Wanderlust
January 28, 20251 yr I'd never heard of him till this morning and honestly couldn't tell you his name now as I type this without scrolling up to see it.

I do try to keep an eye out for emerging talent but I'm often way off the mark - I thought Samizadeh would be a good 'un for example I was on about Joe Taylor a few years back when I saw him banging them in in a local Norwich league before he signed for King's Lynn - obviously a natural finisher despite being a midget but he was anonymous for Huddersfield the other day. A few go on to do good things, but there's a huge difference between being a talented kid and making it. Still Etete is a big mobile lad with decent skills so he'll always be useful.

Eddie Ekolo would be my guess without cheating. Gonna scroll up now and see how I've done... Update: Hahahaha, had to go back a page. Kion Etete 😂 Edited January 28, 20251 yr by Cheese

If you did a search using the key words "striker" "tall" "mobile" "hold-up" "pace" "strong" etc etc you'd probably come up with Etete. Unfortunately "injured" and "goal scoring" were probably not in the search criteria he used.

January 28, 20251 yr Aasgaard (finally) off from Wigan. Off to Luton for £3m. PNE had an offer rejected for their keeper, Tickle too. when you look at that £3m and the rumoured £6m offer for that Kone at Wycombe whose only been in the league 6 months, does it again bring in to question how little we let our players go for…

Always sold well that lot and Blackburn.

But I do think we set our expectations a bit low. Sometimes.. but we then reject a reported £1m for Victor so fuck knows 🤣
January 28, 20251 yr If he can hold the ball up and he's 6ft 6, then it's a yes from me. Always skeptical of YouTube highlights but they are of a higher division than we are in. I'm assuming prime drogba didn't want to drop to league 1 🙄
