Not quite sure what he brings? He's a unit but struggles to hold off defenders. Positionally not very good in danger areas. Not surprising when he's hardly been prolific wherever he's been. Knew very little about him when he arrived but once again I fell for the hype bandied about on here. If he continues to perform as he has up to now I doubt he'll get an offer come the end of the season
On Ladapo, if we keep Kanu, May, Chuks and Leaburn I’d be looking for one more striker, and for me we need an alternative to Leaburn - a physical striker who can win and hold up the ball, and also has a good fitness record. Ladapo would be competition for May and Kanu which I don’t see us having room for.
No to both ..I don't think either of them suit the way Jones is setting up his sides ..he wants fit athletic players and they aren't it ..I expect both will contribute til the end of the season as you'd expect but not longterm for me
I still think Laps has got something to offer if we give him time and service. Fully prepared to be proved wrong though.
Personally, the cross that wafted between him and the open goal was enough to confirm my previously expressed opinion was correct. He isn't good enough.
Neither are bad players and i think you have to give some consideration to the circumstances at the club. Camara is coming back off a long term injury and clearly isn't up to speed yet. He was also injured for most of last season and only played 4 senior games. He might never get back to being the player he was at Plymouth.
Ladapo has a good record in this league but is used to playing for promotion chasing sides who create lots of chances. Coming into a side fighting for it's life who at times this season have barely created 1-2 good chances per game probably takes some adapting to.
May is going to be playing the bulk of games next season most likely. Need to sign a partner for him. Ladapo-May doesn't work. Two poachers makes for a poor partnership and the ball doesn't stick.

See I thought it was a good run to get in front of his man, and then Watson (who otherwise had a good game) completely misses him with the ball across. If he plays it right Ladapo gets a tap in.

It's all about opinions hezzla. For me, Watson's cross was what you expect in that situation - low across the six yard box, beats the keeper, a decent forward slides in and buries it. That's how most saw it on the match thread at the time too.
Camara has been injured for pretty much two seasons now. He's 100% the type of signing we should avoid making in the summer, regardless of whether he's a good lad or played well at Plymouth when they got promoted. Ladapo has been disappointing tbh, he might get up to speed and at least he's been available for every match so far, but at the moment he's a no for me too.

He can probably intimidate some defenders, and I wouldn’t rule him out not scoring one or two goals today.

Did he do something warming up?

There were many references earlier this season that last season was a blip in his record and it should he ignored.
Get rid in the next window - they are not the future, but that applies to many more in our squad too…
- AMB
- Thomas
- Bakinson
- Fiorini
- Aneke
Dobbo wants to go, so he should and jury’s out on a few others too.
