A bit sad, I thought he'd do well, and he proved useful off the bench, but was so far off the pace and didn't fit tactically when he started. Take £2m for him tbf
Imagine if it was the other way round, there’d be a war on here about how stupid we are signing a player for £2m when we could have got them for free 6 months ago. Seems like our lot aren’t the only mugs in the Champo.
The plan was always to have just the two senior strikers at the club, VI is comfortable with the options he has at his disposal.
Having too many strikers about the place was just causing confusion and muddled thinking. There is now greater clarity. Are none of the youngsters ready to be 3rd choice ? Shaq ? That 17 year old who scored last winter ?
Any time I try that, they never want to leave a club they've just signed for! **** your virtual family and kids, I want you gone!
Problem is Raj is only good coming off the bench for the last 30 minutes, when the opposition are starting to tire, which would only leave Bayo, I think we need someone better than Bayo plus you have to factor in injuries etc
Also pays for the £2m @Golderorn said Chakvetadze will cost so this deal makes a lot of sense in that context too.
isn't he more of a wide player than central? Tbh never really heard of the fella until a few days ago
Played most of his football this season centrally, but can play out wide. Given Ince is also supposedly off, he can cover both areas
I’d knock a £100k off just to stop him from playing that day. Make it a clause in the deal because we know what’s going to happen!
Joking aside, I think a law was changed to prevent blocking games. In our promotion season under Betty I recall Clarke Carlisle and Matty Spring were signed from Leeds but not allowed to play against them in at least one of the games.
I don't think there's anything really to stop these 'gentlemen's agreements' as long as you stay quiet about it, although of course, Huddersfield will have absolutely zero motivation to adhere to such a 'deal' given their current state!
Hearing the final snag to get over in this deal is that we are demanding he starts against us, whereas they are demanding he comes off the bench
