verlaine1979 Posted 18 January, 2023 Share Posted 18 January, 2023 Blimey, sounds like we're shaking a lot of trees compared to our usual January activity. 4m would put Toko-Ekambi squarely in Orsic territory - experience that doesn't break the bank. Roughly a goal every 2.5 games during his top flight career across France and Spain (2016-present), so could be a bit of a steal if true. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also suggest that Djenepo and Stu Armstrong's time here may be winding down That's probably right, although the concern is no actual new central striker so leaving us with Che, A Armstrong or a winger playing through the middle.

Proven goal scorer Knows most our infrastructure and players... Keeps us up then it's job done 👍 Or plays one game gets injured doesn’t reappear for 3 games. Scores. Starts next game gets injured, misses 5 games. Scores (rinse and repeat) uses up our wage budget and transfer money and doesn’t deliver the goals we need (but yes, does score 1 in every 2.5 games played) I think this is a much more likely scenario.

Not me honest lol. I see he also reported that Ounahi was linked with a 35m move to Bournemouth so wouldnt treat what he says as gospel. If we're serious about pushing on under SR we need to replace/move on the likes of Djenepo, Diallo, Moi and AA. And we're making all the right noises in the window so far Edited 18 January, 2023 by woodsaint1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
