Dozzell i think was one to watch a few years back, not turned up trees any trees has he.
BTA, quick and strong could easily score 10 in a decent team. Would be an alright signing.

That’s just stupid talk. If you were just judging by his games vs us I think you might conclude he’s a better goal scorer than he really is because he’s scored some crackers against us but his pace and power are undeniable attributes. Attributes we haven’t had in a CF for ages. It’s generally what we’re going to get. You either want those attributes or you want better technique ie Mmaee. We’re hardly likely to be signing a player with a combination of both we’re Stoke not Man City. i’ve seen plenty on the tv for wba , like i said i don’t rate him , just because you do don’t try shove your shit opinions on others What you mean like reasoned opinions rather than I just don’t rate him. Great debating skills.

Strange that people were not impressed with Armstrong but would happily have Asante for more money ? Simple he’s more course and distance proven. He will score goals maybe not prolifically but more than Armstrong has shown he will score. Sure Armstrong was thought of as more of a long term project which would be nice as long as it’s in addition to something for now.

As it stands, it looks like Thomas-Asante is coming here and Campbell is signing for West Brom Shocking business. TC much better player. He’s a completely different type of player just depends what you’re judging them on. In terms of combativeness they’re night and day. Both got great pace. Campbell is a better finisher.

I like Asante as I think he is a quicker Brown in many ways. Will probably not score more than 10-12 goals a season, but he is a nuisance to play against and will create chances for others with his intensity. We really need that kind of player in our squad and around £3M sounds about right to me. I don't know how much we'll have to pay though! I think he’s stronger more aggressive and faster than Brown. Both leave quite a bit to be desired as technical footballers. I agree though I don’t see him becoming a prolific goal scorer. He’ll always frustrate because of that lack of technical finesse. I still think he is an upgrade to what we have and the kind of striker we can hope for in our position right now. After so many years in the Championship with no top 10 finishes we can't expect to attract much better as I see it.

In terms of output yes it's undeniable he's 'better than anything we've had' but I just don't see the clamour for a player that at 25, shows very little signs of changing his style from being anything more than a meathead on a stick, that runs around kicking people very fast. For my mind we might as well stick with Ennis to do that job and put our money on something with a bit more style about him, maybe a bit younger with room to grow and get better. He's the same age but i'd prefer Ugbo from what I saw of his last season. Fee wise I don't think he'd be that far off that of Asante. I dont think Ennis is a patch on him to be honest. If you don’t want that sort of player you don’t want them but his pace and aggression is something we’ve been sadly lacking. Not every player has to be a silky footballer. I’ve not seen enough of Ugbo to comment but he does score at a better rate don’t know whether he has the same sort of pace or physicality or how versatile he is. BTA ticks a lot of boxes. Isn't Asante a bit like Akinbyie in style?

I think they’re something we’ve been lacking for a few years. All of a sudden any player that’s not a brilliant footballer doesn’t seem good enough for our fans. What’s happened they’ve hero worshipped some proper shite footballers over the years.

Assante,looking at his stats,he is a roughly 1 goal in 6,so around 7/8 a season, just doesn't cut it,does it?

Ennis MMaee Assante and Cannon would be a very good central forward lineup for a club in our position at the moment

Someone with a bit more flair from the top flight maybe. What about that guy that Darnbrough took to Hull from Liverpool last January on loan?

Yup he seems to relish the physical battle whereas Campbell didn’t seem up for it at all as good a finisher and pacey over a short distance that he is.

I think Assante is the exact opposite of Mmaee as well. I would love to see Assante here, finally a striker with pace and physical presence! Campbell should really had been as well, but he was more like a fairy when defenders made physical contact with him. People say Campbell was so technical good, but honestly I think he was vey average. His pace was his only real asset as I saw it. Still I liked him as he often was our only player with real pace who could threaten the space behind defenders.

If Schu sets us up Uber attackingly it wouldn’t be out of the question.
