173 minutes per goal for Tedic at Barnsley last season. Only made 4 starts, 17 appearances from the bench. Gives the impression that he was a bit of a super sub for the Tykes.
Even if all 4 were in his 17 sub appearances that doesn't scream super-sub to me. And with 17 of his 21 appearances being off the bench it screams "give that lad a bit of game time" or "throw on the tall lad & see if he can nick us a goal".
Disappointing if we don't get Ladapo. Feels like we're gambling big time.
The gamble is, we wait around to see if Ipswich get Gelhardt, allowing us to go for Ladapo - Or we turn our attention to others with time to spare, so we can get any Striker.
The risk after all is we wait for Ladapo, who Ipswich don't let go, and we're left with no one.
Bit like when the DJ to Mansfield deal fell through.
Of course we shouldnt have left it this long, we should have paid up for Nombe or Clarke-Harris, we wont have signed Ladapo on a perm deal, because Ipswich have long indicated they're not letting him go, until they have adequate cover.
I presume Man City saw someting in Tedic that ought to be enough for League One at least. A bit of straw clutching maybe, but they must have.
You would hope so. However, these Premiership teams seem to sweep up any youngsters who can kick a ball.
As I said the other day when Slobadan Tedic name was first mentioned, both him and the Illic brothers were purchased by City from Serbia and none of the 3 got anywhere near the 1st team other than in the Gym on occasions.
The conveyor belt at City, Chelsea etc is international and they need a myriad of Tracey Leaburn's as well as interpreters for the masses of players that pass through.
Ladapo has become the measurement of a bad window, never mind that we don't know anything about the other signings. Seriously, I don't think we are that far away from having a squad that can compete and the full back cover has now been addressed. If the Irish centre half from Udinese is incoming that's a bonus, my only gripe would be relatively young age of the squad.
Fingers crossed a bit of magic is done in the last few hours but for me the reason I feel so underwhelmed is not only do I not feel we have a top six squad this season I don't see many signs of this being the first window of building one.
Ladapo vs Prem young loanee I think is an easy choice.
Ladapo every time. When was the last time we had a decent scoring loanee?
JRS last season
Sorry I meant as in an out and out striker. But you probably gathered that from the comparison to Ladapo.
Fair enough. Had a quick look on Wikipedia, I don’t think we’ve had many on loan - Burstow but that’s a bit different. Stockley scored enough for us to sign him permanently.
Before that you have to go back to 17/18 when we loaned Dodoo, Mavididi and Zyro.

Kind of my point, we have landed on a striker that did okay last season, instead of one that is known to do well at this level.

For super-sub see David Fairclough.

JRS scored more than a few.
Most of it is a shit hole
Get him a pad in Blackheath/Greenwich/Docklands
No comparison !
