Welcome Ken. Go get 'em son.

It's not an inspiring signing, but he has unfulfilled potential. If he can realise it, then it's an astute bit of business.

I'm glad we have a solid, experienced CF to replace Rondon, let's see if Bilic can get an extra gear out of him where Colin maybe couldn't.

Welcome Kennth.
So we have a target man now, one more goalscorer is needed.

Think this could be a good signing if heâ€™s been bought in as a 2nd striker type and we get a prolific goal scorer next to him (as Slav has said he wants to play with 2 up top I hope this is the case) if we are relying on him as our main goal scorer our goals for column is going to take a hit next year.

Welcome aboard the good ship Albion.

We have had many great players that have worn the number 9 shirt for us over the years and I hope you join that illustrious group.

Welcome to the Baggies Kenneth, hope you bring that form that helped win promotion for Cardiff two years ago. Hopefully Bilic can coach any weaknesses out of him and he can realise his potential a bit more.

Hopefully another strike partner for you will also be on the way.

I would like to see two more, in this division you can't have enough.

Vydra alongside him?

kanu · « **Reply #160 on:** July 19, 2019, 01:57:17 PM »

Very, very good signing. Yes heâ€™s gone off the boil lately but heâ€™s been crying out to be played in an attacking formation with a supporting striker. Heâ€™ll get that at Albion under Bilic. I am confident heâ€™ll get more open play goals than JRod, much more to his game and heâ€™s quicker and more skilful. On top of that only 25, this guy will excite, great signing.

What is his goals per game ratio ?

I'll ask him. What's the frequency, kenneth ?

I'd rather have one good natural goalscorer next to him, than 2 run-of-the mill types. The more you buy, the less quality you'll get, given we only have so much in our budget.
I'm hoping someone like Neal Maupay is still a possibility.
Otherwise, best of luck to Ken, and maybe he can contribute a fair few goals himself.

It's not bad, but if it's a straight Â£8m upfront then it's the end of the world as know it.

Good Luck Kenny. Bang em in son.

Anybody have any insider info about the actual fee?

mateinone · « **Reply #164 on:** July 19, 2019, 04:35:57 PM »

Not a super inspiring signing, would have preferred if we could have kept JRod, but looks "okay" and can't expect Premier quality in the Championship I guess.
Seems to strongly favour his left foot and doesn't seem to be a big presence in the air for a taller striker, but hopefully Bilic can get the best out of him.
Considering where we are as a club this is a reasonably good signing and in an area we need some serious coverage.
I would say at a minimum we need 1 more quality striker (how I wish we had kept signed Gayle), because if he goes down at all, god help us.
I did like he seemed comfortable taking shots outside the box I have to say.

Happy with the age profile, happy it's a permanent. Slightly underwhelmed with the quality but it's where we're at now - I've been calling for us to rebuild the squad for years, we've left it until we were forced to and we just can't attract the same level of talent that we could have before.

I think he's comfortably better than HRK but not quite in the Gayle/JRod bracket. Fee and squad number suggest he will be our main striker so we need decent alternative options. I think we need 2 more in, someone like Vydra and then a youngster on loan from the top 6.

We also need to be scrapping the 442 rubbish. Doesn't suit the squad and almost obsolete in the modern game. Get 2 wingers in support of Zohore and Krovinovic pulling the strings.

StourBaggie · « **Reply #166 on:** July 19, 2019, 05:12:17 PM »

I agree that it seems he will be our no.1 striker and am fairly happy with the signing. Never one to judge a player I have barely (if ever) seen play before he plays for us and if Bilic likes him then I'm happy to take his word. I do feel that we're more likely to play 1 up top with Krovinovic behind and two wingers.

If we can't get Vydra (who I like and felt he never really got a chance when he was here), would anyone be interested in Nakhi Wells? Read an article which suggested he was perhaps more likely than Vydra to leave Burnley and has a good record at this level, albeit he is a couple of years older than Vydra.

Great little REM link Tank, loving it.

Welcome Kenneth! Few bitter Bluebirds about, but don't suppose I'd be too happy if he'd got his bag packed as soon as another club in the same division, showed an interest. Another striker or two, still needed, but decent signing imo.

Atomic · « **Reply #168 on:** July 19, 2019, 05:20:32 PM »

If I here this "whats the frequency" thing once more I'm going to hunt someone down and subject them to a horrible death.

STOP IT!

Unsure of source reliability but I've read elsewhere the actual fee's in the region of Â£2mill-2.5mill with the rest made up of add ons relating to goals and promotion etc. Don't shoot the messenger if this turns out to be incorrect though.

He is here and that is the main thing.

Hmmm, because it impacts directly on the budget that's available for other players?
