Karlan Grant moves to Huddersfield
Comments

Given the events of this week I dont blame Karlan for getting out of the club at the first opportunity whilst Roland is at the helm and steering straight towards the IcebergSimonsen said:
I can't see that Grant would've been too happy if his move had been denied. It was possibly already starting to show a bit in his last couple of performances (Accrington....good penalty but a dreadful miss from two yards, Peterborough...awful penalty). He may have knuckled down and got on with it but after the Scott Parker episode, I'm sceptical about the desire of young players once they've been told "their dreams" are on hold.Stu_of_Kunming said:
Unless he was demanding the move, we shouldn't have been selling him at all, we're not going up without him.JamesSeed said:
Which highlights the fact that we sold him much too cheaply.Stu_of_Kunming said:
Can you name a single player we could have signed for 1.5m?MuttleyCAFC said:I think we could have easily replaced him, we just didn't.
Its obvious why Page signed a new contract yet I think we need to be concerned as the mental stability of Dillon and George for signing new Contracts themselves0 -
I'm not saying he's premiership level, yet, I'm saying he was impossible for us to replace in a Jan window with our current owner.MuttleyCAFC said:
Teams are built around the players you have and if you lose some attributes you may bring in a player with different attributes rather than look for one with exactly the same ones. I don't think the team was built around Grant, although nobody can deny he has done well this season and formed a good partnership with Taylor. If people are saying Grant is a Premiership striker, well we will just have to disagree.Stu_of_Kunming said:
Our team was built around a certain system, Grants pace was a key to opening up defences, so I don't believe Grant could have been replaced with any goal scorer.MuttleyCAFC said:
You can't look for an exact replica. My contention is we could find somebody with different qualities. The issue we have had recently, is getting goals in the team. Karlan did well in that respect this season, but he is not the best of finishers. My contention is finding a better finisher would not have been too hard, although we didn't manage it!Stu_of_Kunming said:
So not a Grant replacement at all, the reality is pace is an expensive trait and Grant was never going to be easy to replace.ForeverAddickted said:
I'd say he was a Kevin Davies | Duncan Ferguson type StrikerStu_of_Kunming said:
From what I've read on here many suggested he's not at all similar to Grant though.CAFCsayer said:Stu_of_Kunming said:

Without a doubt.JamesSeed said:
It’s certainly going to be harder :-(Stu_of_Kunming said:

Quick question: If we got to play off final would you be able come over for the match?1 -
Taylor is the one who needs to up his game now. Plenty of effort but needs to start scoring a few.
3 goals in his last 13 league games (including one pen). That's a Josh Magennis strike-rate.

Gives Hudds the lead at The London Stadium4

See that the BBC mean by scrappy0

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me who this easy to find replacement is.

Fair play to him he now has two goals in the prem.
Do think he was trying to stick that other side of the keeper though.

Lol, weird. What is there to disagree about? He's playing up front for a Premiership team, so that makes him a Premiership striker. That's an undeniable fact.MuttleyCAFC said:

You're disagreeing with someone who believes they know more than international managers, I don't think you're going to get too far here.Off_it said:

He is now Huddersfield's joint top scorer this season.

Good goal too according to SSN
Glad we replaced him so easily and proves he only got those goals for us because of Taylor.2 -
I don't think Muttley will be watching Match of the Day tonight .....3

That goal was filth.1

Was all thanks to Taylor3

He's only going to be at Huddersfield for six months if he keeps going.10m plus in the summer, someone like Everton or West Ham would pay it.2

MIGHT even get in the England U21 team for the Euros if he scores enough - Its not like we have any other kids that age scoring in the Premier League other than RashfordCallumcafc said:He's only going to be at Huddersfield for six months if he keeps going.10m plus in the summer, someone like Everton or West Ham would pay it.1 -
It's going to happen.Chris_from_Sidcup said:I can see it now. He'll do really for Huddersfield, score a bundle in the championship next season, get called up for England U21s and end up getting sold for about 15m+1 -
Subbed off while on a hat-trick.
