I cannot understand why people get so wound up about goal records. They are so circumstantial. We are scrapping for survival in the champ and still have a limited budget compared to other teams, in what world are we going to sign a 1 in 2/1 in 3 man, it's just not going to happen. Doesn't need to be repeated about Kermogant's prior record. If a player's got the attributes, they have every chance of bagging the goals in the right side for them.
Kerm, S Jackson, Miller are three very very good strikers. That is a 'play-off' strike force.
Still need a decent winger to supply them though.
I agree.
Keep the centre pairing of Stephens and Cousins.
The defence is a very good 4 of Solly Morro Wood Wiggins.
With investment in those two strikers and two wingers would have us in the playoffs potentially.
I'd happily settle for them to come in and move us away from the relegation scrap nevermind a play off spot. Anyway it is all still in the rumour mill for now...

..but until then we'll never know, so we have to go on past records.
fair enough, but it's the way players are instantly dismissed on here that I don't get. I agree a player who can boast 1in2/3 from the records would seem more exciting, but just cos the bloke might have more 1 in 5/6 don't mean he'll be a flop for us. I think some, not all, have unrealistic expectations of the type of player we can sign and any striker that will be in our price range is never gonna have that outrageous past record at previous clubs.
For me seeing us linked to Miller/Jackson makes me happier than that Gooch and Biton, yet just cos the geezer played for Iran and scored past some pony teams, you'd have thought we were signing a world beater by some people's reactions!
cant see it but hope we get him,wonder who else would like to take him
Possibly anyone in the bottom half of the Championship... Dont forget Bournemouth were after him at the same time as us in the summer whilst Brighton failed to bring in Lewis Grabban so may take a look themselves... Leeds are a bit reliant on Ross McCormack
Simeon is a long-term target for Powell and a proven goalscorer in this division. Go get him! As for Miller, I reckon he's worth a punt. If anyone can get the best out of a player that's lost their way then it's Chris Powell.
Marvin Sordell
Yann Kermorgant Michael Morrison
Without listing the numerous players that have come in over the last three years that have not exactly excelled either as loans or permanent the moniker of "If anyone can" does not really fit. Like other managers, with some players he can turn them round with others he can't.

Overall though, he sorts them out.
I think its 50:50, but whatever, its the future ones that come in rather than the past, lets hope they either don't need sorting out or they are sorted out.

For every Yann there's a Sordell, Kerkar, Rouamba.
CP's record is not a bad record, its not abnormally brilliant either.
The best measure of CPs ability to bring in and make a success of players is what happened in the close season after he first took over. They gave him the tools to do the job at the right time. Remind yourselves just how many were brought in, what the result on the pitch was, and how many of those were failures. The only ones that come to mind quickly are Alonso and Clark, both TJ signings.

Well there's one not even getting on the bench at Liege

You have now given me fresh hope and as we all know.
It's the hope that kills you :-)

I don't mean this season, this season is about staying up. I mean next season.
Bit overhyped in my opinion.

I'd certainly welcome him.
