More likely to go for Akinfenwa!

No, Pukki was Championship POTS in 2019. Also, Andone only had 18 goals in his time in La Liga when he joined us so had a bit of experience but wasn't exactly household.
My point is that I think being underwhelmed and not wanting to sign a talented youngster who has got experience of and scored goals in the PL, and is also England's record U21 goalscorer, is going to leave some very frustrated by our transfer dealings. Like all signings no matter where they come, if we signed him, it might work, it might not but I can't imagine we're going to have the finances or clout to be able to sign anybody of a much better calibre.

No, he wasn't. He also didn't make the Team of the Year.

The only Championship Player of the Year to play for us is Anthony Knockaert, who won it playing for us in the promotion season (16/17).

Ha ! Yep fair play - i'm getting my awards of the year mixed up ( i think he was player of the year for Brentford and picked up some other similar awards that season). Either way he wasn't some obscure signing. He'd scored 28 goals that season for a club that weren't promoted and plenty of clubs were after him.

Agreed. Plenty were underwhelmed by Welbeck, Maupay and Andone so that proves the point.

At the time, he was absolutely a player we all were interested in. We all wanted us to sign him that summer and we did. My concern is that we're looking at Mackail-Smith II.
I need to stop being excited by signing a striker!
Maybe I'm just easily pleased, I was really happy with all of those and would be with Nketiah too!

Let's not pretend that just because a striker comes from Arsenal, he must be good.
Chuba Akpom also came from Arsenal (and Graham Barrett, and I think also Valur Gislasson, for those with long memories).

What on earth would be the point of this? Seriously. Is he better than Connolly? No evidence to suggest he is and a lot of us are calling for Connolly to go out on loan.
And a huge amount on here just yesterday were moaning about Southgate's obsession with potential over current ability.
We have a HUGE squad. We have a HUGE amount of promising youngsters.

Absolutely no thanks. We're better than that. He's pretty pony from what I've seen.

I’d argue the record England U21 goal scorer (breaking Shearer’s record) would be a step up on Aaron Connelly...
