adejo92 Posted 10 August Share Posted 10 August (edited) People going on about the age of this guy when we've just signed a 31 year old Fulham pensioner (who'll bring fvck all to the team) and are allegedly in the market for 31 year old Zaha, we've got a thread for 32 year old Ayew and our hope for any goals this season are pinned on an injured 37 year old Jamie Vardy. Age clearly isn't an issue, at least this guys proven to find the net, but we'll be fine a week on Monday with Patson Daka up top.

CaliFOXnia Posted 10 August Share Posted 10 August 6 hours ago, ClaphamFox said: Vardy first kicked a ball in the Premier League when he was 27. He’d also had one decent season in the Championship (in which he scored 11 goals less than Szmodics did last season). Some players develop later than others. You talk as if every single signing needs to be made with a view to recouping the transfer fee, but that is clearly untrue - clubs pay big money for 28-year-olds all the time. Many players are just hitting their prime at that age. If you get 3-4 decent seasons out of them, you’ve recouped your investment in terms of results irrespective of whether you can sell them on. Szmodics would significantly improve us in an area of the pitch that we desperately require improvement and £15m would be a decent price for him. However it sounds like he’ll be joining Ipswich instead. I suspect he’ll do well for them and score a lot of goals, possibly keeping them in the process. Meanwhile it looks like we’ll be starting the season with Patson Daka up front… For the model we operate, pretty much every transfer does, or at least should at this point. I’m not sure if you’ve missed it, but there’s a fairly large elephant in the room at the moment with our club called PSR..? You know, looming points deductions etc.. We aren’t able to spend £15m on players with potentially far larger upsides than Szmodics, yet you think it’d be a good move to chuck it at someone who will probably walk out the building for free in 4 years? That’s before we’ve paid him a penny in wages. £25,000 a week would add another £5m to that fee (it’d probably be double that coming into the Prem). Financially it makes zero sense to us. I’m not saying he’s useless, he’s obviously in a purple patch and will take advantage of that. Fair play to him, I just hope we don’t spend that money here. And please, don’t ever, ever compare Jamie Vardy to Sammie Szmodics again.. 🐐 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age clearly isn't an issue, at least this guys proven to find the net, but we'll be fine a week on Monday with Patson Daka up top. David Nugents top return in the prem was 6 goals, yet regularly hit double figures in the champ, Jordan Rhodes regularly hit 20+ but never scored a premier league goal. Szmodics has had 1 season where he’s hit double figures in the champ but has floated about league 1 and 2 before this. No one is doubting that he had a phenomenal season last year but pinning your hopes on 1 good season at champ level at age 28 is clearly a bit of a question mark, considering he’s never shown that form at levels miles below this one. Thinking he’d actually keep us up is a bit bizarre, surely you can see the issues with signing a 29 yo who’s had 1 good season at championship level? The players were linked with have at least played at prem level even if underwhelming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who getting our goals He is unknown in PL and could bully a lot of defenders rather than a limp Daka (sorry Daka) 😞 It's a yes from me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AKCJ Posted 10 August Popular Post Share Posted 10 August Screams Ross McCormack only Ross actually had a long time scoring goals as opposed to one season. We've not been linked. We can do better for the price. He's at an age where he won't have resale value. There's no reason for this thread to be open. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopharage Posted 11 August Share Posted 11 August Not a single person here would mention Szmodics if he’d had one of his normal seasons last season. Last season was such an outlier, yet some people waffle on about him like he’s a Kane-esque metronomic goal machine. He’s only got over 15 goals in a season once before last season. It’s not like the guy is Dixie Dean. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy is almost 38 and his last season in the PL he was about as effective as a French infantry division. 9m + whatever bonuses is worth it and let’s face it as much as we all would like to see both Zaha AND Fotis THEY AINT GONNA HAPPEN. Szmodics fills a huge void and has 3 peak years left. Get off your high horses. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
