300k for a high scoring striker, great deal there for dougie. with holden and mavies back we could have a midfield of Eagles, Mavies, CYL, Holden & Spearing supporting him, very optimistic for the new year.

Hopefully we get this Dawson lad from West Brom aswell who sounds a good'en!

That's sounding more and more dubious though. Not dubious that he's a good'un, but dubious he'll come because the West Brummies are losing defenders at a rate of knots.

Great, but is he really better than Ngog? When he came to the Reebok with Barnsley he seemed to have the demeanor of someone who thinks their much better than they are, but then he did score I suppose.

Kind of answered your own question there Beefy

Yeah Beefy, what gives with the stupid questions?

He scored 4 goals in 19 minutes in one game, if n'gog tried that he'd be sent off halfway through

hes also got 7 goals in the 7 league games hes played for barnsley this season which is probably higher than n'gogs career total

[newcarsmell]

Sounds prolific ! Why has he only played 7 games... ? please don't tell me he's been injured !

He's played for Barnsley 18 times this season.......

[Lord Kangana]

Unbelievable. I can already hear the crash of reality quietly and inevitably rumbling in the distance towards this fantasy discussion.

[boltonboris]

Edit:

He's scored 9 goals in 22 appearances (1 as sub). 8 in the League (in 19 starts) and 1 in the cup (in 2 starts)

Interestingly, he's failed to score in 17 of those games 22 games.. Sounds like he's very inconsistent, though capable.

[SmokinFrazier]

This season
---------------Apps----As sub-----Goals
Total (Club)----22-------(1)--------9


Overall career totals
----------------Apps-----As sub---Goals
Total (Club)-----312-------(81)-------82

[Lord Kangana]

So just better than 1-in-4 if I read that right.

A useful, solid addition for a good low fee, but I'm worried the expectation level on here is already crushingly high.

Aye, but this seasons stats have been distorted somewhat after an unbeleivable capitulation by the Birmingham defence.. Fair play though, scoring 4 goals in a game takes some doing.

I'm worried that he's far too inconsistent at this level. He's not the "proven at this level" player that everyone bangs on about.

I think he probably has ability. But then all of our forwards do. It's just doing it regularly, where the problem lies. Will this change? I live in hope

[bwfcdan94]

personally I exepct him to score more goals than 3 of the other 4 strikers we currently have at the club

A good video of the goals he scored a couple of seasons back. I know YouTube clips can be flattering but it's obvious he's a pretty good finisher. There are goals there which show an eye for goalscoring, at any level, and he seems to be composed. I highly doubt you could drop Sordell, Kevin Davies, Afobe and N'Gog down a few levels and get the same sort of finishing quality as that video shows.
