1, shows we've got money and prepared to spend . 2, shows we're not only signing network players . 3, not only foreign players 4, he's a good solid championship player .
More optimistic about next season than I was half hour ago ! Very interesting.
Didn't expect us to go for older players like O'Grady, especially not for that sort of fee.
Looking him up he scored 15 league goals for Barnsley last season. Didn't realise he did that well. Also only 28, some reason thought he was a bit older than that.
Yes we could have kept Yann but he's gone now and it seems whoever is picking players for us has recognised we need a decent targetman. Even if it was blatantly obvious.
Spent the last couple of seasons at Sheff Wed and Barnsley - Wiki tells me he made 77 apps and scored 25 so not too bad, has a career total of 88 in 373 but a lot of those apps were in League One (and some L2).
Seems like a reasonable record but I don't know much about the sort of player that he is, anyone able to shed any light ?

To be fair it only shows any of those things if we actually sign him.
I'll believe it when I see it. Could well be that they've leaked this to try and distract from the Alex Dyer quotes. I seem to remember the same thing happening with a rumoured Gradel bid when Yann and Stephens were sold.

Happy with that if we get him
Big centre forward who can hold the ball up. £500k may be a bit steep though

But atleast we ain't just going for free's ect .

Wouldn't be a dreadful signing but one that points to our aspirations being survival rather than challenging at the higher end of the division.
