[Albion] Henrik Bjordal gone.

That's bold. You're on. Three premier appearances?

Nice try, I don’t think he will fall for that

Yep i'm very much hoping he will be in the squad for the League Cup early rounds , so i hope he will then show enough in those games to warrant a place in the 1st team league game squad by November ish , the bloke is just a natural born goalscorer even in his wider position he just wants to shoot on sight , can't remember the last really greedy skillful player we had that also hit the target as much as he does , yep i know it's U23 thus far but i just have the feeling from watching him 5 times now the club has a absolute gem of a player here .

We simply can't develop strikers who can make the step-up. Never have.

Did we not do exactly this with Bobby?

It's funny how we as fans see things. I'm hoping he will go on a season long loan to a league two side and show us what he can do. I too thonk hes a natural born goalscorer.

Something that Barcelona seem to write into a players contract is a buy-back option and a figure agreed.

I have no problem with players like Bjordal or even Goldson moving on to get some game time but a 2 year option to buy back at double the price we sell them for must be a sensible clause to have in the contract so we can still benefit from having invested in them for such a long time and with them possibly having the ability given the game time

Perhaps we have done that - we'll probably never know anyway! Sounds like a good idea though, that or a good sell-on percentage.

No.

We brought him in as a 19 year old, straight into the first team (initially on loan). We didn't develop him from OUR youth. He developed, and flourished, in our 1st team.

We have never produced a striker.
