Kyle Lafferty has joined Anorthosis Famagusta. thankfully one of the potential list.

Famagusta….. the ghost town. How very apt for him

Smith's League 1 record 

173 Games 41 Goals 17 Assists

Gestede's Championship record

178 Games 48 Goals 18 Assists

 

Their records in their most played leagues are so similar, obviously Gestede's a level above so he's the higher quality player but tells us a lot about what we can expect from our soon to be main man in next season's promotion charge

Considering Warnock wants to bring in 3 strikers how do you know he will be our main man?

I imagine that if we are spending money on him then he will be his main striker with the others being loans or freebies.

With the size of the rebuild, the impact of COVID and our overall financial position I can’t see us spending any money let alone £1m+ on squad players.

Purely speculation though if we end up with someone like Delap on loan that could change.

Smith isn't going to cost £1m+

rudy got 34 goals in 60 games in two seasons at blackburn. other than that hes never hit double figures and only managed 5 goals for us in the championship over 3 seasons, 42 games total.

gestede was a class above smith in 2014 other than that hes clearly garbage and not a class above anyone. he managed to get 5 in 17 in the aussie A league though. whats that equivalent level over here?

bloody hell smith is a late bloomer isnt he. his first 30+ game season was only 3 seasons ago. looks like hes only been first choice for the last 3 years and has an average record in champo games; 

45-8, 34-9, 44-10. 

actually thats not bad at all when you think about it, hes playing for rotherham not brentford. he is a respectable champo targetman and probably a really shrewd signing.

Just going off paper talk from earlier in the summer.

a week to go until preseason starts - how many signings did Warnock want in before preseason?

Well we do seem to be hamstrung on 2 fronts with this.

First, we don't seem to have a competent recruitment team in place to identify potential signings a good way in advance of when the window opens. Basically relying on Warnock, Jepson & Blackwell having spare time to do it themselves.

Second, we're probably going to struggle to match the wages other clubs can offer. Or trying similar shenanigans to the Danny Mills saga and missing out because we're trying to get them really cheaply.

The better players will be more in demand and will likely take longer to bring in. 

In that case we’re gonna be signing Messi, Haaghland and Pogba going on the eternity it takes us to get anything over the line 🤔

Genuine question (not having a pop), when did he do that? 

As far as I'm aware he's not written the debt we owe him off, as it's all owed to the "parent/group" company.

 

wasn't it when he got divorced? his ex-wife was going to get a huge piece of the debt and therefore the club so he said *** it

Thats not on the recruitment team - it's Warnock who refuses to sign anyone he hasn't personally scouted and it's Warnock who is watching 30 seconds of players recommended by our recruitment teams and deciding they're no good. You're right that given those parameters, our pool of players we can recruit from is going to be very narrow.

He wanted at least four.
