Whatever happened to him? Can't remember hearing much about him since. Has he been injured?MarcusH26 said:JoshAddick said:
Exeter usually hold pretty firm on their negotiations. Weren’t we in for a winger of theirs a couple of seasons ago and couldn’t meet their valuation?Pelling1993 said:
Surely Exeter are along the lines of Cheltenham where they really need the money. I'd be shocked if he cost any more than about £300kOggy Red said:
Exeter tweet:
"Tough one re the Nombe situation. A fantastic player for us over the last few seasons.
"But… if we’re being offered the best part of £1Million or over that, it’ll be very hard to turn down for someone with 12months left on their contract"
Yeah they held out for seven figures for Joel Randall who ended up going to Peterborough.
Injured a lot , only played 11 games last season0 -
Where would Kirk be shooting more from though? He's not exactly got a powerful shot like MS, so he'd have to reinvent his game to be making more runs into the box. Maybe the Millwall goal is evidence that's what he's trying to do.letthegoodtimesroll said:
We’ve never used Kirk effectively. In recent years we could have brought Messi in and made him look shit. Kirk’s got two goals so far in preseason and Deano mentioned after the Millwall game that we need to start shooting a bit more. That’s what Kirk can do. Bring in Nombe or another striker and play them as a lone striker and they will not be as effective as they could be playing alongside May both in terms of goals they will get and in pushing and keeping the opposition stuck in their own last third.balham red said:Is Nombe actually good does anyone know? Yes he got a reasonable amount of goals last year, but Kirk had reasonable stats the season before we signed him (remember thinking from his video at the time, he looked a bit average though). So are we blinded by the stats or is he good?
I dunno, there's nothing outstanding about Kirk - average pace, below average strength, below average shooting, reasonable crosser, no trickery, above average "football brain" maybe.1 -
But if you "knew" about us talking to Exeter before I am sure the play might have.RonnieMoore said:
But it’s only coming from Exeter end at the moment .. has the player asked for a move this week ? perhaps his agent told him about our interest ?
I appreciate the if is doing a lot of heavy lifting here...0 -
Sign him and surely there is no one withholding on purchasing a season ticket6

He scored 15 in 43 last season.
Many were unhappy that Stockley had a similar (or better) ratio.6 -
Completely different style of player, and much younger so potential for improvementmendonca said:He scored 15 in 43 last season.

I don't think many criticised Stockley in 20/21 or 22/23 but after his back injury he was ponymendonca said:He scored 15 in 43 last season.

Yep, it's not hugely inspiring. Stockley screwed up our overall play by being immobile though.mendonca said:He scored 15 in 43 last season.

He’ll be playing AFCON so I’d be surprised to see him recalled in January as they wouldn’t actually be able to use him for a whileShootersHillGuru said:
I have a feeling that Camara is going to be absolutely key for us and obviously the better he does the more likely he’s likely to be recalled in January. That’s my big concern with him.ForeverAddickted said:What I'm loving about this current squad is the fact we're building with so few loans at the moment.
We might not even need to utilise the full quota loan signings at this rate.
Perfect if we're getting the permanent signings right, as means we wont have the endless worry of having to replace the next JRS or Cullen4 -
Different type of player, Stockley was a traditional target man without the pace to press and needed crosses.mendonca said:He scored 15 in 43 last season.

Nombe appears to have pace, strength and is a decent height - suits the style Holden wants and means he can score more types of goals.4 -
Surely we aren't turning our nose up to players like Nombe 😂

Did they? Or did they start to criticise at the start of last season? I think a few were frustrated by the style of play with Stockley in the side, even when he was scoring goals, but that wouldn't apply to someone like Nombe, even if he got 1/2 less.mendonca said:He scored 15 in 43 last season.

People criticised Stockley when that became 3 in 30 or whatever it was post-injury didn't they?mendonca said:He scored 15 in 43 last season.

Seems to be the best available option, so not turning nose up, I'm glad if we get him. Just not convinced he'll be that good!Addick_8 said:Surely we aren't turning our nose up to players like Nombe 😂3 -
We 100% have had a bid accepted, I think Cawley might tweet something soon57

We seem to be getting very excited, me included, about some pretty flimsy evidence. I’ll be happier once Richard Cawley says we’re in talks because I think that’s more likely at this point than it being a done deal.1

Although 15 goals is a very decent return.mendonca said:He scored 15 in 43 last season.

But he's not just a goalscorer, he's quite physical, strong on the ball, pacy and able to run defences ragged.
They'll be a lot of opportunity for Alfie May to feed from, if they are played in tandem.

Can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a season to start must have been Powells 2011/2012 squad but something feels special about the players we’re bringing in and at the very least we’re gonna be fun to watch id say.Addick_8 said:We 100% have had a bid accepted, I think Cawley might tweet something soon12 -
Just a quick glance at the Exeter forum, one of their posters said:
"........However, I agree with the opening post that very few have had the all-round skills of Sam. He can score from distance as we saw against Rovers and he can also score classic poachers goals like Northampton away at the end of the last season. However, he has also pace and power and can link up play brilliantly."
I guess, that's some of what appeals to Dean Holden.

Is there actually any interest or just a few random accounts posting about Nombe?0
-
Jayden Stockley's issue was that he was useless in a one-man forward line, he was too easy to isolate and mark out of games. We tried playing him as a sole striker under Nigel Adkins and it didn't work and it failed again under Ben Garner.
Sam Nombe fits the style of play that Dean Holden wants to play, that moving the ball quickly from defence to midfield to attack. He might not have a great scoring record (one in three games) but if you give him chances he'll convert enough.3 -
As they say these days..."We are cooking 🔥"Re. Nombe: I don't know much about him, but his stats suggest he might be a one-season wonder and that he hasn't always found scoring easy - or is that a ridiculous observation?2
-
I may be proven horribly wrong, but believe Cawley would’ve come out and rubbished the rumours by now if they weren’t true8
-
Earlier in the window they wanted 1.2 mill, but that was above the agreed budget at that point, but now takeover is done, either we have met that or they dropped the price.
good signing.44 -
Exeter must pay a percentage of the fee to MKDons, apparently.
Edit: Exeter forum saying 30% to MKD
