…by nicking Stansfield?
Long hand over mouth convo with Dara after the match. Been a target in the past. |  |

I have to say I was not overly impressed with him on Friday. Spurned a couple of decent chances and tapped in from 6 yards.
Can't forget he cost them 15M quid |  | | |

They’d want £25million+ for him, they’re not in a position where they need to sell and I’d say he’s nowhere near that value or what we need and he wouldn’t want to come here without being a guaranteed starter every week. So it’s a no from me | | | |

I thought he was awful. Even the tap-in he seemed to be trying to put over the bar. |  |
| Trust the process. Trust Phil. |

Yes, I very much noticed that conversation at the time.
Not sure he has the physicality we ought to be aiming for though.
I hope we splurge £20m on a young, big, powerful 9 from abroad who's a serious project for PL, but plenty good enough to make up a big enough set of (potential) 9s with Hirst and Akpom and Szmodics in a mega emergency, allowing Al Hamadi to leave on loan or otherwise. |  |

If we wanted a scrapping, fox in the box, wind up merchant, then Jamie Vardy was available on a free this Summer, and is better at hold up play than Stansfield.
That's how I see him: a lower-ceiling Jamie Vardy.
There is no way Birmingham would sell him to a Divisional rival without a HUGE tax- that is an even bigger deal in American Sports than it is here. | | | |

They overspent on him by about £10m and would want to make a profit on him, so think this is a non-starter. |  |

Got all the minerals though. Nice touch and movement. McK will have him up to speed in no time. Could play as a 9, 10, wide. Good replacement for Hutch and adds value to replace Hirst too. | |

Zero. Think he'll do well, much like he did for the U21s (high work rate creating opportunities for those behind). | | | |

Splitting hairs maybe but was that a tap in? Had to really get his knee over the ball, with his weaker foot, and it still only went just under the bar. Arguably an easy one to miss. |  |

I felt at the time O'Shea should have seen it was going to come back off the post and adjust his position. | |

I'm pretty sure this will come back to bite me, but I don't see what a number of others do in him.
He has a great work ethic, and of course is young enough to develop more, but I have yet to be convinced. I don't think he was particularly effective in the U21s, seems to lack the skill and composure that I would like to see from a £10M player.
Like I said, will probably get proven wrong and he will have a stellar season, but I just can't quite see it yet. |  | | |

No. Brum are now loaded and dont need to sell, well backed and ambitious so hes unlikely to want away plus hes got a big contract there. They also paid a fortune for him so would cost more than we'd want to pay or than hes worth |  |

Maybe not quite a tap in but it was a pretty open goal (no keeper). Would've been awful for a professional footballer to miss that. | |

No chance they would sell and to be honest I think we can do better anyway. |  |

Don't think his good enough works like a dog but not great quality. | | | |

I don't rate him enough. He was 'meh' at the U21 finals. We could do much better. | | | |

Always liked him. Thought we missed a trick not going for him 2 or 3 years ago. Now though, he would be priced way above his true value. |  |
