Escpecially with a bunch a negative comments from fans of his former clubs.
I think we have to assume it was looked at by KMcK and Ashton before he signed and they think they can handle it, if indeed it even is a 'thing'.
Also I think the way the club is at the moment the players themselves are a tight knit group. I can't imagine they'd tolerate any kind of disruption coming in the door. Can't see the likes of Morsy putting up with it.
And then there's Freddie himself. He's just signed a 3 year deal at a club that have been installed as favourites for the division. He'll be playing infront of 20k+ every week under a coach that was working with Ronaldo last year, if he's got an ego that should go some way to sating it.
I think he'll do fine.

I think that there were similar comments about Bakinson when he signed and in fairness he seemed to get better during his stay here, possible because of how he was managed and trained? |  | | |

People love parroting the opinions of other clubs as if it gives them some sort of special insight that no on else has. |  |

And do those few fans on a message board represent the regular fan base? Probably not if hey are like some of the more vocal on here at times!!
Id be interested to know what they thought of him when he was banging in 19 goals in Lg 1 and 9 in the champ, and even earlier last season before he put his transfer request in. |  |

David McGoldrick is the laziest f***ing player I have ever seen. Rarely impacts the game. Doesn't look like he can be bothered. Offers nothing. That was the gist of what Forest fans seemed to agree on, even ignoring how well he'd seemingly performed at Coventry.
I also saw rave reviews about Piggott (from Dons forum) and how he'd score 25-30 in a side near the top. Some Fleetwood fans thought Burns wasn't going to get any better that a reasonable League One player, which is clearly not the case.
An actual paid football manager, Paul Lambert, didn't rate Donacien and I myself was happy to see Jackson go at Christmas. I wouldn't have been too sad if Wolf had walked too, given that I thought he'd lost his way and his talent was being wasted.
I was also far more excited when Paz rocked up that Treacle.
So who knows. What I do trust is McKenna, Ashton and the scouting team. If they've identified Ladapo who (even if we accept has an 'attitude' has averaged 13 goals a season in the last four years, one of which was a respectable 9 in a relegated Championship side).
I've long since stopped bothering to write players off before we see them play and after Wolf, Jackson et al, I'm also trying to learn not to assume those who've done nothing of late won't suddenly improve. Except Piggott. I see nothing there at all! | | | |

I'm just waiting for the suggestion that Lapado once scored against Bristol City so this is why Ashton forced him upon McKenna lol. | | | |

Surprised (or not really) to see so many saying he'll do as a squad player. Er, have they forgotten what division we're in, what happened last season, and... er, well, what Lapado did for, hmmm, er a promoted side. He'll play, and quite right too. Clearly fits the system, and is what we need for the time being. Clearly got some talent, and can be coached to improve.
It's a good signing, and yes of course there will be another striker incoming. |  |

Tbf if he can get 15 goals in a season and with a club he doesn’t care about and with an attitude that he’s too good to be there, imagine what he can do when he’s happy and wants to do well 😂 |  |

I was also far more excited by Paz after Taricco's catastrophic debut against lower league Bolton!
There were people here in August laughing at Aluko and saying how past it he was.
Ultimately, what do we know. I definitely trust Kieran! | | | |

Can never underestimate the home factor as well.
Don't know anything about him other than he's from Romford, but if his parents, siblings, friends etc are nearby and he gets to be be back close to them, it might just elevate him to another level.
Look at McGoldrick being that much nearer to Nottingham and not driving back and forward twice a week or whatever it was. Ended up being one of the stars of a Premier League side that stayed up! For us he was barely fit from week to week.

Let's just put it down to having to play for a club like Rotherham.
34 goals in 104 games in three years there, a third of which coming in the Championship. Arguably worth a gamble, if it even is one. |  |

To be fair, I think most people were at the time! And then Paz was a huge disappointment, and Treacle was a fantastic revelation! |  | | |

I was excited by Paz, but also slightly alarmed by the resemblence he bore to LA serial killer The Night Stalker | |

Rotherham is a very well run club incidentally. Presumably at his age he wouldn't be getting too many chances to join somewhere like Sheff Weds so you can see why that might have annoyed him. | | | |

As with Ashton, I will take as I find (more correctly see) with Lapado.
I’ve long since learned from personal experience that people are often not as they are reputed to be.
I’m sure the club will have done its homework. |  | | |

He likes to watch video playbacks, so if he gets a bit uppity, show him the Morsy sending off v Accrington. He’ll learn that if he upsets the Skipper, he’ll get the chop. | | | |

I think 'ego' / 'confidence' is a fine line for sure, but you want your striker to be fairly confident in themselves. Scoring goals is all about confidence.
His comment about 'bringing a winning mentality' - well it might upset a few but let's have this right, we finished 11th last season, and we could have gone on a winning run into the play offs, we didn't. So he is right, that we do need a winning mentality. If he calls that out, I am fine with it. | |
