Sadlier out for a proper wing back makes sense. Sadlier out for nobody would be silly.
What if we've decided Izzy's return to fitness means we're better off not carrying Sadlier's wages?
Suicidal.

Ade's announcement vid was filmed on a train at Wigan North Western station.

One of the finest pieces of shithousery I've seen in some time.

Adeboyejo is exciting. On some levels. Our highest paid transfer for ten years. A striker who is on form. 13 so far this season.

A risk on others.

I think given the circumstances he’s better than we may well have hoped for. So you cannot complain - a worse player than Dapo but maybe a better striker.

Good oh. 😁

I forget that people on here must clearly be on farting terms with our players, even before they sign. 😊

Good to see we're holding off on any criticism until he's kicked a ball...

Well what a day so far, and it isn't even deadline day 😁
I'm worried deadline day might be shit. Poor planning from Evatt and the team. :pissed: :pissed:

Statistically the best striker in England, I believe. Better conversation rate than Haaland and better shots on target percentage.

No criticism from me. He’s a better fit for what we need. At least on paper. And I don’t think we could sign better. He’s a bigger risk than is ideal but that’s league one when you haven’t got a million quid plus to spend.

Good age. On form. Rarely get those.

He did, but me and the lads call him Vickz, hence the confusion 😁

I'm trying to recall when we came out of admin and signed a complete team on a Friday (or whatever day it was), whether that included 2 strikers... :-)

In my opinion Victor & Jerome are a step up from Dapo & Baka even taking into account Dapo when playing well, different level these two.

Both of them are technically a level above what we've previously had up front under Evatt. Same arguably goes for the physicality they will offer.

I'm hopeful.
