A goal scorer in this league is 15m plus nowadays so for €8m (£6m) We’d be daft not to if that was the case Link to post Share on other sites

Though I hate the fact that if he does turn out to be a goal machine we may stop playing him if it looks like we'll be promoted. Because you just know that's what we'll do to avoid actually buying him. It's 15 goals AND promotion. Anyway, if he's banging them in we'd probably want to buy him at that price regardless of promotion. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Worth noting that Sporar can also play as a Second Striker and from the right channel as an Inside Forward (ignore Transfermarkt, it's very hit and miss). He'd work in a number of systems. 4-3-3, 3-5-2, 4-2-3-1 and variations of each. Wouldn't consider him an option for the lone striker, but hopefully that points in the direction of him playing alongside Ikpeazu. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

While I'd like to think that's true, what are the odds Boro just see it as a way of loaning a top striker for the season, getting us promoted then trying to stay in the Premier League on the cheap again? I hate to be pessimistic but it's not like we haven't done that before. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Feel really sorry for him at the moment with no Leo. Must be hard as a young kid not knowing a country and not being able to speak to many teammates. The only one I can think of who he can likely talk to is Bamba. Do we know he can't speak English? Many young Europeans have excellent English, and at the very least enough to get by. Edit: Just realised he's not European. Yes I'm thick 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
Youngy228 1,444 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Last season only 6 scored more than 15. Teams finishing position in brackets. Toney 31 (3rd) Armstrong 28 (15th) Pukki 26 (1st) Moore 20 (8th) Joao 19 (7th) Ayew 16 (4th) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Why would we turn down the chance to sign a goal machine upon promotion for a sum that is fairly low if those criterias are met. Not many 15+ goalscorers in the Championship will cost less than 7 million punds. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Just going off what Warnock said in terms of his translating app. He also didn't look like he spoke to any of the players during warmup on Sat. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,647 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Seeing as Andraž Šporar is pronounced And-rash Spore-rah, he can have a chant to the tune of Flash by Queen. Andraz Sporar! Saviour of the universe! 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites

It was reported that he doesn’t speak it and will have to rely on Leo initially 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Now let's hope our scouts were right in recommending him. And if they're not we just send him back with only a year of wages lost, no harm no foul! Link to post Share on other sites

Will 2,958 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 If I can be a bit greedy, I do hope that we have some kind of fixed fee agreed for if we don't get promoted too. Would hate for him to come, be a massive success, us just miss out of promotion then get asked to stump up more money because that hadn't been agreed at this point. Link to post Share on other sites
