Bobby G Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Whats his Premiership goalscoring record? Hmm...He is quick but not as fast as Bellers for sure, but he is also strong and reminds me of Andy Cole. I feel he misses far too many before he puts one away. If its for about 2 million then its a good deal. The closer it gets to 3 million the more risky it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is strong and fast but he doesn't have the skill that Bellamy has. Now let's bring in a big name. Comon Rovers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFW Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Yep, it's being confirmed on SSN as I type, 4 year contract. I think it's a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby G Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 But one thing that must be said is that the fact that we have not disclosed the fee might mean that we are playing it coy in the market and not letting on how much money we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krislu Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I guess thats that in regards of getting new strikers in. Can't see us buying a big name striker now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james19830822 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Lets compare that to Kuqi's record in the Premiership, which was... Kuqi 24 apps (9 subs included) and 8 goals. Then Kuqi is miles better than Roberts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebruce Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Official Aye, saw both the sites I mentioned bring it up a little after I posted. Would love to know what the fee was before I decide whether it's a good or bad move. Obviously I hope for the former. The rovers site credits him with 14 goals for Wigan. I assume the other 6 were in cups. The season just gone was maybe the best he's had, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihateburnley Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Good news. Hopefully our list of striker will look like this come Aug 19: 1) ? 2) ? 3) Roberts 4) Jeffers Mido would be excellent as our top striker, and we need a pacy striker to complement him. If we can't get another two strikers, it isn't the end of the world if we can only get in one top quality striker (such as Mido). There's always January if all else fails.

Sanny Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Pongy & Mido would mean that we would have a good set of strikers for next season! Hope returns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihateburnley Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I guess thats that in regards of getting new strikers in. Can't see us buying a big name striker now. Surely not? If it's true that we got Roberts for £2m, what's happened to the other £8/9/10m that we're supposed to have? We need to buy at least one more quality striker, and Mido would be an excellent choice. Even Mido would only cost £4/5m thus theoretically leaving us £5m ish to strengthen other areas. With Bellamy and Dickov gone, and Kuqi pretty much gone, let's not forget that yesterday we didn't own a recognised Premiership striker. Gallagher and Derbyshire should be fourth and fifth choice, or better still fifth and sixth respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krislu Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 erm noooo Currently we have Jeffers, Roberts, Kuqi, Gallagher and Bentley who can all play up front. I'm not so sure we will sign a big name striker. Not beacue we dont want to, we just aint able to bring anyone in. Surely Roberts and Jeffers was close to bottom on hughes' list of "targets", meaning we have tried but failed to get anyone better. I think the rest of the transfer money will be used to buy players in other positions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modes98 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Brilliant Signing. Confident if he can keep his elbows to himself he will get us at least 10goals a season. Hopefully we got him on the cheap but i doubt it. 2 down at least 1 more needed. Then defence and midfield need attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverine Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) Surely Roberts and Jeffers was close to bottom on hughes' list of "targets", meaning we have tried but failed to get anyone better. Or maybe the other targets are still ongoing? Edited July 3, 2006 by ffberryb77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
