    The fact Botaka has also gone there would suggest Driesen and a scouting network picking players still exists.

    Does rather smell of Robinson not wanting him but RD being told by others that there is money to be made by selling him in future.

    My presumption would be his wages were also a factor. And, to be fair, his strike rate wasn't that brilliant after his initial spell with us.

    Also, his injury record. I'd say that was a major factor in letting him go too.

    Thought he was only on loan from Leeds?

    When fit Igor is a good Championship forward and still our best option in that position. Big wages and an inept medical team rushing him back means we'll now be subsidising his wages to play for one of Roland's other experiments. I wish Igor all the best.

    he's only there as an agent for CARD. Carrying out surveillance, duplicating keys, accessing stadium plans etc.

    No major loss IMO.

    I disagree. A fully fit Igor is our best striker. None of the others come close & if we persist with what we have left & don't but a proven, out & out striker, we will not be top 6 come next May. End of.

    I disagree to an extent, goals from the likes of Magennis, Holmes, Marshall, Clarke, Reeves/other No 10 could ensure we score enough (admittedly dependant on a good defensive record too) but I do agree that it would significantly help to get another striker goals, doubt that could be Novak but it could be Ajose.

    Didn't stop us finishing 7th in the Prem in 3/04 or making the League 1 play-offs in 09/10. Ideally we'll have a 20+ goal striker but it's not impossible to do well without one.

    KR didn't say he wanted a striker, with the number we have I don't think we'll see one come in unless 1 or 2 more leave. Wouldn't be surprising to see any of Ajose, Novak or Watt go.

    Who’s the guy he’s saying happy birthday to here? Seems to have been at Charlton but I don’t remember him one bit.

    That’s what I thought, so why’s he put that picture up with that player? I’m sure he’s trying to wind us up with a little glint in his eye.

    Edit. Just noticed he did it on Instagram and he’s saying it to both. For a minute I thought we’d had a £6m player on trial we didn’t know about and let go!

    Bikey is our new centre forward

    These 11 goals were all before his injuries, but if we can get 80% of that player back we'd get a player that could be:
    60% better than Mag at finishing, 40% quicker than Mag on and off the ball.

    100% a different option than Mag.

    Can we stop talking talking about him coming back this month.
    A-if he was gonna it would have happened by now
    B- The Charlton pics he keeps posting are probably just memories or to let us know he still cares
    C-he posted a picture on twitter of him training with STVV at their training camp

    He always strikes me as being a very nice guy. He out up a really cute photo of him and his family and Yoni Buyens and his family a little while ago. Seems like he got on well with a lot of players.

    So you're saying it's happening?

    Personally I think all loans will be recalled under the new owners (so long as they have recall clauses)

    Besides his Chinese boss he's congratulating Obbi Oulare ... a striker, currently playing for Royal Antwerp F.C. . I assume they are friends ...

    Saw he put a load of Charlton pics on his IG stories tonight and made me wonder what’s next for him considering he’s still our player and his loan his ended.

    We can do both the Sint Truiden and the Charlton songs for him if he comes back.

    Remember getting dogged out by sint truiden megaphone man for the Charlton songs being louder than his once.

    Pissed myself laughing.

    Igor is a quality player, if we get him back, for and up for it, there’s your 20 goal a season striker in league 1 right there in my view.

    I must have missed something when I watched him then...

    Maybe you missed the games before he got badly injured.

    After that when he came back for us he looked was nowhere close, came back too soon I reckon.

    Even half a yard off could do it in championship, even more so on league 1

    I don't know him or know anyone who knows him but in my opinion, his Instagram posts make it quite clear that he'd like another chance at Charlton.

    Fair shout actually

    I do go to every game and yes he was a different (fatter) player on his return

    If he's fit, he'd tear up League One.

    Well not the fit bit obviously.

    From his social media, he seems to be spending a lot of time out running so is keeping in shape in the off season.

    Definitely have Igor back, we need him in my opinion and think he can do a real job for us.
