Striker Adrian Colunga Signs Two Year Deal (Update)

[BensGrandad]

Just get Murray back and transfer window comp.lete

 

[British Bulldog]

The club site definitely says an undisclosed fee, as usual, so presumably we paid for him not free

For all we know they could be saying that to make it look like we've been spending the Ulloa and Buckley money on fees but does it really matter? Signing good players is the important thing not how they got here.

Could it be that Getafe had an option to extend his contract and we've paid a release fee ? A similar scenario happened with Vicente who wanted to return to Spain and play for Elche but we invoked the option before he could leave for free.

A big strong centre forward would be the final piece of the jigsaw for now.

It would certainly seem so:

GK - Stockdale, Ankergren, Walton
LB - Bennett, Chicksen
CH - Greer, Dunk, Hughes, Maksimenko
RB - Bruno, Calderon
DM - Holla, Ince, Toko
MID - Stephens, Crofts, JFC, Agustiein
AM - Lua Lua, Teixeira, March , McCourt
ST - CMS, Collonga, O'Grady, Fenelon

McCourt is the signing that's puzzling me. Where does he fit in?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

For those moaning about Colunga's height , we had a striker who was also 5'8" who did quite well in the blue and white stripes.

 

[Stat Brother]

It's a squad game etc but Grady must be wondering why he signed for us.

Only NSC Albion can go from being hopelessly under stocked with strikers to massively over loaded, with the signing of one player.

Great news to get another body in the trenches.

Getafe fans think he is lazy and useless on their forum.

This.

Doesn't puzzle me. 46 games and cup games. Injuries/suspensions/loss of form etc i'm sure Mccourt will get plenty of game time.

people said that about Murray being lazy. He then went onto score 30 goals.

I dont think it matters how much or little we pay for a player. What does matter is that he can do the job for which he is brought in to do. His record would suggest. that is the case

We can stop chasing baldock now,

Spanish Glenn

Baldock could have been a smokescreen , once there is a leak we generally never get the signature.

A Tex type player who's going to put pressure on the player with the shirt, Sami has said he wants 2 players for every position and I think he fits the mould. The one I see as the odd one out is LuaLua.

 

[chaileyjem]

So O'Grady, CMS and Spanish Adrian. Would be nice to have one more with a bit of height wouldn't it?

COG is nearly 6ft 4.

He scored 7 goals in his first season at Palace, although one of them was against us.

He's not scored since his return from injury...yet.

COG is nearly 6ft 4.

Given that do we now need another forward? Are we playing 451?....4321?...how do we keep another striker of good quality happy if he's on the bench....hmm

Really? I find it amazing that anyone could think that. KLL has a massive role to play, as the impact sub.
