Chris O'Grady Signs for an Undisclosed Fee (Updated)

[Albumen]

He's a squad player. Someone who knows the back of the net. Prolific? No. Was Ulloa? No. Do we know how we're going to play yet? No.
Should we be panicking yet? No. Let's wait a couple of weeks shall we?

Given what I've read over the past couple of days on here, I think if we signed Messi, Ronaldo and Neuer and Lahm there would be some people complaining about it.

Talk about writing someone off before they've even signed!

Lahms turned his back on his country so we wouldn't want him

Ulloa wasn't prolific?

Sorry, lost some sleep getting up for the dog with the storm last night!

What garbage. Leo's strike ratio tells a completely different story.

If he is a squad player, that will do, however I wonder if the Barnes haters would prefer Barnes over O'grady. I feel very flat about this transfer if I am Honest.

Hopefully a decent striker and keeper are on the way.

Either Naylor or Cantor suggested last night that Ulloa's departure meant we could afford Ward and Henderson.

 

[Uncle C]

He won't even replace Ulloa. And people are complaining? Do other teams have this many idiots supporting them?

If you only have two brain cells it's easy to be confused if a player goes out and within an hour or two another one comes it. I think we need to remind ourselves that no everyone on here is very bright.

Blimey, do you suffer from low esteem?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

500k is a good deal and will be happy with this PROVIDING he is not the last striker we sign.

Yet another spanish speaker going and one more english speaker coming in.... any reason for this?

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

ha!

I love the smell of Bed Wetting in the morning.

most pathetic expression ever.

This is the thing, some people are sceptical that we'll sign another striker, they're getting dogs abuse for it which seems a touch unfair. I think everyone will be happy with O'Grady if he's 1 of 3 or 4 strikers, not so much if he's the main man.

 

[Hamilton]

This is not the signing I was expecting. I'm assuming O'Grady is just another reserve striker, nothing more.

Which signing were you expecting ?

 

[Albumen]

Ulloa wasn't prolific?

Well his ratio was 1 in 2 which is prolific, but he missed a lot of games didn't he? Maybe it just feels like it. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather he stayed, but it's not the end of the world and we have no idea who's going to replace him yet.

This thread is absolutely embarrassing. Amazing what a few years at this level does to the mentality of some.

Oh well, I have an open mind I've only heard good about him from Barnsley fans and his record last season was decent for a relegated side.

Bizarre of anyone to assume he's the "main man". What is it based on?

Agree, but some people are only happy when they are moaning or having a go a Burke etc.

 

[Hamilton]

Which signing were you expecting ?

I don't know. Not him.

Demba Ba has just gone to Turkey for 4.7m - sure wages were high, but come on.
Luciano Becchio?
Sam Baldock from Bristol City - top scorer in League 1.

I notice that Bournemouth quietly sign Callum Wilson from Coventry in July. That was a smart signing.

Who else? Daniel Sturridge? Wayne Rooney?

Basically, I want something that is going to bloody well excite me.

Why is this thread embarrassing? People pay good money for a season ticket and i can safely bet a vast majority of our 21k season ticket holders wouldn't have heard of him. He isn't exactly a known name is he?

It's not just this player but our recent transfer activity that has got a few peoples backs up. I can't blame them either. That doesn't make it embarrassing.
