| 11 goals 2 were penalties 20:05 - Aug 31 with 2646 views | andyblue231 | So 9. And he’s 28. Not terrible and I guess 17m is about right for that. I’m not sure that’s the front three any of us would have wanted at the start of the summer. But hey ho. |  | | |  |

| 11 goals 2 were penalties on 20:11 - Aug 31 with 2053 views | pointofblue | It does feel like we're down the list with him. We could do worse - he covers more than one position, had a decent season last time out and in his prime. We need someone and he'll improve the squad. |  |

We need versatility and from what I’ve read it looks like he’d bring that if he does sign for us, so I’d prefer him to TA. |  |

It’s infuriating isn’t it. These people have no concept of goal scorers in the premier league - only six players scored 15 plus goals last season, but unless we sign someone capable of that then the player is useless. |  | |  |

| 11 goals 2 were penalties on 20:22 - Aug 31 by andyblue231 | I’m allowed to be negative if that’s how I feel. I’m a pretty negative person. I’d suggest he also wasn’t first choice for the club either. Or we’d have signed him on July 10th. Hes been available all summer. [Post edited 31 Aug 20:24]

“Penalties don’t count”. An absolute classic from TWTD history. At least 20 years old that one. |  |

| 11 goals 2 were penalties on 20:38 - Aug 31 with 1778 views | homer_123 | Depends on how you are judging the success of a player in that position. As I have explained, in depth, before. A lone striker role in a KM or GON lineup is more than a simple return in terms of goals. Yes, that is factor and an important one but it's about setting the press, link up play, holding up the ball, assists etc. There are very, very few forwards that are judged solely on goals scored, in fact, I can think of only one in the Prem and that is Haaland. |  |

Maybe our list included Espí who went to Madrid, Delap to Forest for 50 million, Gabriel Jesus who went to Barca, Abraham who's on the bench for Villa after selling Watkins. They've all been linked and I have no idea if there was serious interest but Flemming is not the panic signing some are insinuating. |  | |  |

But they’ll compare him to Delap, who… wait for it… also scored penalties for us. We got 4 points in those 2 games, by the way! |  |

Which player would you be convinced by? You're always on here with this negative nonsense but have no opinions of your own, just moan, moan, moan. |  | |  |

Of course he wasn’t first choice. We’ve had a list and have been working through it. That’s life. |  |

Whenever I remind people of Marcus Stewart’s 19 goals that season I always deduct penalties lol. |  | |  |
| 11 goals 2 were penalties on 21:38 - Aug 31 with 1387 views | WeirdFishes | So still just the one less than Delap, who also scored 2 penalties, seeing as though that seems to be the main comparison for him. |  |

Just the 1 against West Ham... |  |

| 11 goals 2 were penalties on 22:24 - Aug 31 with 1216 views | Guthrum | Who are the front three you wanted at the start of the window? Personally, I had very little idea as it took a while to even find out the level at which our transfer business was happening. Doubly so when we started plundering overseas leagues of which I know little. |  |

Are you negative because Kate Beckinsale was top of your marriage list but you didn’t get her? |  | |  |
