Undisclosed fee! :dry:
Fuck the EFL
Any ball park figure been suggested. Still time for Cook to replace him, John Akinde (Barnet), Christian Doige (Forest Green) are both options
I’m going to miss the useless git, it works for some and not for others at some clubs and for us he was useless git, now for Power to do one, i thought i would be crying in my cornflakes at these two going before the season started, no chance were not going to miss them and young Sharpie has some spends for his next trip and rave in Ibiza.
£700k plus appearances according to Sky Sports, i reckon it could be much less after listening to what Warnock had to say.
Fuck the EFL
At the time of his signing it seemed a good signing. Where did it all turn pear shaped and if he is so shite how come he has stepped up to the Championship?
Strange this football game nowadays. Proven goalscorer but not deemed to be able to score goals for us. What’s new there though? A striker not scoring goals for Latics. Bit of a norm really.
Only thing we can do is wish him all the best and hope some day that our club can give some explainable logical reason for some of these decisions of players joining in one window and leaving in the next window.
Sorry just remembered £1,000,000.The only way we’ll ever know is if Warnock plays him reg and can get him scoring or not. I personally think he should have at least been given till Christmas (with games not the bench) to prove if he can or can’t.
The problem I saw last season was the large signing fee and the sudden leap up to Championship and the huge pressure coming to a club struggling heading down plus lets not forget, the vast majority of the players and the tactics didn’t help he’s cause and they were utter sh^t or we we wouldn’t have fookin gone down !!.I don’t think it was a good move letting him so soon purely on the grounds that he would have been playing in a far easier Division which would have given him time to settle and grow into the team. I suppose tell will tell whether it was a bad move or another shrewd Wildschut move by unloading him while the value in the player is there
I don’t think that he ever looked like he was comfortable playing in a 1 up top system which is what our 2 previous managers preferred to play & which is also the preferred style of our current manager.
He may well perform better in a system that plays a conventional front 2 but Latics whole squad is set up to play a different way so to suggest changing that system, unbalancing the squad & having to bring in players suited to a different system & shipping others out is a hell of a lot of upheaval for a player who had 5 months of football league experience at Lge2 level before we signed him, who seems hindered by a groin problem & who one of our previous managers in effect accused of not being able to listen to instructions or take on board adviceI don’t think that he ever looked like he was comfortable playing in a 1 up top system which is what our 2 previous managers preferred to play & which is also the preferred style of our current manager.

Last Sunday, I saw Toney put in far more effort than I saw Bogle put in during his spell with us. Just yet another mistake Joyce signing. Christ, he really was a bad appointment.
Well he is a goalscorer but he’s gone so he is another to look out for on fotmob. Somehow he will probably struggle at Championship level. Good luck Omar just sorry you haven’t even had a chance to prove yourself with us.

I thought his first touch was poor (I’ve never seen a professional footballer underhit so many lay-offs), he rarely won a header, he looked lazy, and his lack of positional sense goes without saying)
Toney looked like an upgraded version of him to me, and I reckon he’d have been fourth choice striker at best had he stayed.
What i dont understand with ourselves as a club, is why keep signing strikers who are so used to playing as part of a front 2, to then be asked to play as a lone striker.
We all know that it was martinez who started the whole 1 up top business. Jason scotland was signed for that purpose. Had we have been a championship club upon martinez’s appointment, we would have all been raving how good the guy was. Championship was scotland’s level. Scotland’s problem was that he could simply not cope with the premier league.
Every other striker we have signed since has simply not been able to adapt to the 1 up top system. The only exception is will grigg, who (certainly as a league 1 striker) is proven playing up top on his own.
If we are to persist with the 1 up top, sign strikers (depending on what level we are at) suited to that role.

Kone could play it & so could Di Santo
That said, I do agree with your general point as to why our scouting network has seemed ill equipped (under numerous managers) to find centre forwards suited to that system. It’s a specialist system & it doesn’t take long of watching a centre forward before it becomes obvious what type of system suits them best. That said, Benson advised Whelan that Boselli couldn’t play it & the manager pushed it through anyway & Benson leftIn Bogle’s defence, I’ve moved down south & don’t get to watch us so much anymore, but i did go to the QPR game at Loftus Road last season. In the 1st half he was way & above our best player & wound up winning & converting the penalty that brought us level – his movement was good, his pace was good & his strength on the ball was good. As soon as we’d gone 2-1 down though early in the 2nd he turned into utter dog turd although at the time I put that down to the players losing heart & him feeding off the scraps of loose balls that were aimlessly hoofed up field from defence
