People doubting Jon Walters forget it was his work at Waterford & Fleetwood that got him this job...

Every board has a Bayern. Nah just seems they think he’s wank generally. Stoke fans thought Lee Chapman was wank, Southampton fans thought Fuller was wank …..want some more? Give it a fuckin rest Bayern …..it’s boring |

Did anyone expect anything different than resorting back to the dark ages ? That's the direction Dublin was told and is why he got sacked. JD fell out with SS over his directed signings ( Cundle, Ennis ect ) in January. Why would he fall out with SS over that. There had been manager led signings in his entire time at the club. They stick out like sore thumbs. |

People still don't seem to realise that when a player leaves a club..suddenly all fans of that club do is slate that player.
Means absolutely fuck all.
A player should always be judged on what he does for YOU not other clubs.

They clearly just don’t think he’s very good. Look at our lot with Leris. He is actually terrible and people are sad to see him go! |

Screams of Walters transfer regime 'knows the league' 'works hard' 'limited ability' 'no sell on potential' 'high wages' weve done 360 and reverted back to what worked so well for the past 5 years. Whereas last year we would have been the ones in for Makhtar Gueye..... 'decent scoring record abroad' 'good age' 'exciting potential' 'potential high sell on' Ok it was high risk and not all come off but how much more exciting was life with the likes of Junho, Mmaee, Burger all rocked up. Its just all thoroughly boring and pretty down right depressing now. Can anyone really say they're excited by the prospects of Gallagher and Wintle rocking up We're not going to get promoted (or even finish in the top half) with a team full of Junho, Mmaee, and Burger-type players, and we've got those already (assuming they stay). The best teams have a mix - look at our Championship promotion season and the first couple of years under Hughes. And pretty much everyone was underwhelmed with our signings in 2007. |

No guarantee the fee is actually £1.5m, could be dependent on extras, or just genuinely less than that.
Not one to excite the fans, especially after this morning's links, but I've always thought he looked a handful playing against us and gives us a bit of a physical presence up top.

Some are sad to see Campbell go who apparently is still a 20 goal a season striker in someone's opinion the other day despite scoring 30 in 8 years All that matters is what a player does here. |

Stoke were a premier league team the last time Sam Gallagher scored over 10 league goals in a single campaign and that was 11 in 16/17 Just check to see how many his partners have scored during that time?🔴⚪️ 22 Assist in his whole championship career would say he's more ineffective at setting his team mates up. Unless of course your suggesting he deserves credit because he was simply on the pitch whilst his teammates scored is simply ridiculous |

Needlessly over the top as usual. We need another body in up top and I doubt it'll be the only striker/forward we see come through the door.
It might just work, you never know.

We don’t need another body. That was the rationale for Ennis. Which I could buy then because we were absolutely desperate. We need a striker to start games. We have bodies in Ennis, Mmaee and Tezgel. |

Just because it didn't work for him there doesn't mean it won't here. I don't know if it will, but we will find out. There is thousands of examples in football even at the very highest level of players not being brilliant at one club before moving and them finding huge success. That on it's own is enough to just give someone a chance |

I don't get the very basic comparisons with Ipswich? Every team recruits for a different system. Ipswich had two really good #10s that were playing pretty much as a second striker (Chaplin and Broadhead) that you could see working with a big, mobile striker. They were recruiting to replace the injured George Hirst.
We don't play the same way do we?
We have two #8s that don't get that much in advance of a big striker, or any striker. Our closest players to a big striker are going to be Million and Bae.
So how do we see this working given the Blackburn podcast a few pages back reckon he isn't any good as a back to goal forward, which you'd think would dovetail with two inverted wide men? They themselves reckon he's better out wide.
?

You have to be realistic and it's weird really. It's a lot of money for him yet at the same time it's not a lot of money for a forward in this league. It's 1M less than what we paid for Jacob Brown years ago so like with Leris, you have to temper your expectations on what we're going to see from him. At the end of the day, 1.5M at this level just buys you a warm body to throw at the problem and hope it sticks. I'm disappointed it's come to this but there you go. It's really underwhelming but it is what it is and we'll support him no doubt. It's frustrating seeing 500k on Ennis, 1.5M on Gallagher and another 1M on Gooch. It's dead money ultimately but I suppose it's not our money. £750k on Gooch all these fees are very small beer however of the 3 I only rate Gooch & appreciate a lot don't Hoping Gallagher proves me wrong |
