He would be an excellent signing, my only concern is that last year he was playing in a really good to watch Coventry side with lots of clever link up play - if we play like we did last season I wouldn't expect him to get so many chances. If we could get him for 8m and Armstrong on loan I would be thrilled. Why is it ‘bizarre’ lol? As I said I could only find his goals video so not totally fair, from that he didn’t look the most technically gifted and looks like he makes up for it with aggression. Joao is a better footballer.

We spent 25m on Assombalonga and Rhodes and look how well that went. We got exactly what we bought with Britt. it was just fans expectation that he would suddenly become a 20+ goal a season striker which he never was. Link to post Share on other sites

Just look at how forest fans worshipped britt and he was just a decent player, no more no less. West Ham fans saying the same about us and Jones Hopefully anyways, I'm worried about that link me would be a nightmare to replace Link to post Share on other sites

Was his all round play for me, bang average at most things apart from cutting in from the left and shooting. Link to post Share on other sites

Mfcdanny 771 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I can only really go off that game he played against us and I remember asking my mate who he was because he looked class, the only time I remember saying it all season. I know you can’t just go off one game but you can see he is good with the ball at his feet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Or pay a lot for a proven option. Or, as is the case here, get in late, pay a lot for a not proven risk. Thing is if you really want a proven goal scorer who’s at a semi decent age you’ll be paying upwards of £15-20mill. We obviously can’t do that. The other option is to try and sign the next Gyokores or whoever it may be for £1-2mill, a far riskier option, and certainly more likely to fail. Gyokores is in the middle. He’s had a good season, and he’s a good age. 8-10mill is probably a fair market value for him at the moment. Mentioned earlier, that if he does have another good season with us his value would probably double. It’s a fine margin and we simply can’t say if it’s a good deal or bad deal until we see his numbers at the end of this season. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,181 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Coburn not far off Gyökeres... Wow 😂 Coburn is getting massively over hyped, he's a good finisher but needs to go out on loan not ready for a promotion push. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Just similar styles, Coburn is 5 years younger and shown he can handle himself at this level already and hopefully will only improve. He’s shown glimpses that he’s positionally aware and when he gets a good chance he often takes it. He’s got the physical strength already. Link to post Share on other sites
nunthorpered 1,922 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Id rather us go to europe with that money and spend maybe half that on someone. Again i wasn't saying he wasn't good, just that i think you can get as good for less money. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If we get Armstrong, Gayle and Joao (my preferred choice) then Coburn wouldn’t need to be ‘ready’ for a promotion push. Link to post Share on other sites
