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

[8ace]

6"1' so a bit of height anyway

 

[Tricky Dicky]

If he signs to be in competition with Ulloa, good signing. If Ulloa leaves and he's the replacement, underwhelming.

I would say more to play with .... or underwhelming, but we'll see what transpires. Early days.

4 good strikers required , could be ok . Still would need a proven player to replace ulloa

 

[Thunder Bolt]

wow pathetic is that what the **** is going on

Pathetic is when we were at Withdean and not signing anyone because the chairman had switched his phone off.

The transfer window isn't closing today and the league doesn't start for another 3 weeks yet. Wait until then to moan.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Sadly that appears to be the best season of his career, managed 9 in 51 the season before.

Some players develop later than that. Surely last season is the best example. Assuming he's not the Ulloa replacement, which I highly doubt, what more do you want from a 2nd/3rd choice striker. He's scored more goals at this level than CMS had when we signed him.

What a bizarre signing this would be.

Let's give the guy a chuffin chance to prove himself.

15 last year in a crappy team. Unless you have seen him play > 10 times, know what position he played in and what formation he scored in, including how many appearances were on the bench you do not have a moral right to post negative comments.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

It would be an absolutely pointless signing.

He may not cost much, but he's simply not good enough for a promotion chasing side (which I hope we still are)

Even as a fourth choice striker, we'd be better off blooding a youngster rather than wasting a portion of our elusive budget on an ageing League One player who isn't good enough.

Fourth choice striker? We only have 2 at the moment and 1 appears to be leaving

You, sir, are a gent and a top man

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I like how everybody assumes he's replacing Ulloa and not just an addition to what we have (or what we will have if Ulloa goes)

 

[GolfingGull]

You are never going to get a quality striker in just to be 3rd or 4th choice, which I assume he will be. A good replacement for Hoskins with Championship experience. Shows that the club are bolstering the squad, that's what we want isn't it?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Replacement for Hoskins, I would have thought.

Not everybody.

Few comments from the Barnsley board:

"Personally if he turned down a move to Charlton because he didn't want to uproot his family why is he suddenly going to shoot off to Brighton which is further than London - unless the wages on offer are much more than Charlton offered perhaps."

"Thing is he clearly doesn't want to play for us
We need to thank him for his efforts and move on."

"Nothing less than £1m. Bare minimum."

"Let's hope so. Replacement for Ulloa? Who's actually not as good as COG."

"Apparently the figure is 'substantial' according to the club."

Seems a bid has been accepted and talks will get underway tomorrow. Think the fee is somewhere more than £500k and less than £1 million.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Doesn't he have a brother called Toxteth....!?

How many marshmellows can he stick up 1 nostrel? Bet he can beat his brother

 

[BN9 BHA]

Replacement for Hoskins, I would have thought.

Is O'Grady injury prone and will hardly play for 3 seasons?

 

[fozzie's headband]

12 goals in 2012/13 and 15 in 2013/14 - decent squad striker if you ask me

 

[drew]

I wonder how underwhelmed Burnley fans were when they signed Vokes?

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Why is he not Barnes' replacement?
