Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 My thoughts on Sanogo is in his youth he was quite literally the standout striker in his age group in the whole of europe it's not so much his goal record that concerns me it's his injury record I feel like he's had a few bad ones. As a player though we could do much worse there's a really talented striker in there. Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 sanogo is one of them funny ones. hes crap but has the ability to be good but never is. however every now and then one of these sorts finds the right club and is brill for them. fingers crossed its us. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 988 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Seems a decent signing and I'd guess on the cheap.. I'd rather this than 5 million on Jordan Hugill. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to see Britt and Fletcher playing together and doing well but would I guarantee them as starters? no I wouldnt because they dont always do enough for the team No, but you're talking about replacing Britt & Fletcher. Having an alternative plan is fine, but Britt and Fletcher did enough to earn the right to start the season as our top strikers IMO. Both scoring 10+ goals in a team that couldn't score for toffee is great. I'm not even sure you can argue they don't always "do enough" for the team. Pre Warnock I might have agreed with you RE Britt, but he worked SO hard under Warnock so I'm hoping that continues. Fletcher always works hard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

None of these players had stand out stats and have done very well in the championship, this ideal that they must have a glowing record to sign for a second division club is nonsense All of these players were signed as promising youngsters, not as experienced players who have a track record of getting poor returns. Sanogo has played in this league twice before and was *** poor. As I said, I’m happy with him as a plan B, anything more and I’m worried. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 They probably misheard Warnock saying we weren't signing Yaya Toure. "Yaya's a no go" 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just contributing to the discussion as people don't seem to think our strikers are good enough. They're fine. They're not very consistent but then we're not consistently creating chances for them either. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
SzilardNemethsCurtains 2,844 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Surely everyone can agree we need players in across the squad too? and as Gestede showed last year in the Preston game, in some games in this league a big striker soaking up the ball in the opposition half can be a big advantage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Good job we had a chance to let one of those wingers go on a free and didn't offer him a new contract so we could look elsewhere! Oh... Link to post Share on other sites
Weasel 965 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 21 minutes ago, Will said: Yes the top flight French side, have you watched any of the french league outside the top 4? It's *** horrendous. Sanogo contributed to a huge 22 total goals scored by Toulouse last year, lowest in the division by a long way. For context, Britt and Fletch got the same amount between them last season as the entire Toulouse side. You don't want French football, that is obvious. It can be a physical league at times but there is plenty of quality in all Ligue 1 teams. France has the best talent out of all nations and the majority start out in Ligue 1/2. Farmers league stereotype is just from people who don't watch French football. That being said, he did play for Toulouse who were absolutely god awful last year, it's easy to blame his goal record but that Toulouse team was one of the worst to play in Ligue 1 for about 10 years. I agree that I don't want him to be our main striker but as a 3rd option it's low risk. Link to post Share on other sites

And I think sanogo has the potential to be better than gestede (not difficult to be fair) so I'm okay with this if its on a low wage and fee so we can focus on the creativity in the side. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Oh... Your Marvin Johnson hate is really odd. He was fine. He's a squad player. Absolutely no reason we still can't look elsewhere and find better. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

As a plan B I actually like the signing, as our starting striker I'd be worried. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Just done a quick look at it appears Sanogo is what a 1 in 5 striker over his career. 12 goals and 1 assist in the last three seasons (63 games) and in his 30 games in England he's scored 1 goal. Struggling to get excited by this. It's a body in the door I suppose. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
