See i think that a reason we will bring him in. We dont want a striker to replace stewart we need a backup / option across the front positions. Broadhead's injury issues actually make him an ideal backup option for 1st team
Broadhead.
- Thread starter rubberface
- Start date
Aye he seems an odd one . Brilliant, turn a game , enthusiastic when he's playing but temperamental. Torn about it as he's great to watch but I'd say no . A luxury for us at this point, unless KLD is really opening his piggy bank
Wtf?
And what if he's needed for say 8 games to cover injuries?
He doesn't have it in him.

A no for me like unfortunately he's a bad track record with injuries

Broadhead is a 24 year old quality goalscorer. a very scarce commodity.
If he was bulletproof he would be miles out of our reach.

He's the perfect squad player for us. Has bags of quality but cant rely on him every week. Not a bad player to bring in on right contract

We absolutely have to sign two strikers, even more so if one of them is Broadhead. There were long periods of last season, notably the run in when Stewart was the only fit striker at the club. When Defoe came, it was obvious he'd never be able to do 90 minutes then he fucked off. Any injury to Stewart in that last 10 game period and we'd now be looking at another season in league 1. Right now, we must be the only club out of the 92 with one recognised striker at the club.

True but if he gets croaked, which is quite possible, then we end up with a “please don’t let Ross get a injured” type situation

I certainly wouldn't be dissapointed if we signed, as when fit he is quality. However, if there are other decent options I might be tempted to go with someone less injury prone.
Preparing for the most extreme situations, I like your style.

Broadhead gets a mention in this article:
Nothing new or profound but it just seems like things are still up in the air, he is 24 so no use to Everton playing junior football, I doubt they’re going to chuck him in off the back of his season with us in League One, even though he did impress. I think he’ll end up leaving on a permanent deal, whether he comes to us will likely be down to if the player enjoyed himself here or would like to stay in the north west and with one year left on his deal I doubt he’s going for big money, certainly under £2m but probably much lower. I hope we sign him.

Broadhead will be a good player for us if we sign him for about half (maybe less) of the season. We sign him and we definitely need another very good striker which would make signing him a bit pointless. Only way we should go for him is if he's costing us virtually fuck all. We need consistency and players that can be relied upon, he won't give us that.
If we can get someone nearly as good but is likely to be fit for 90%+ of the season it's a no brainer which one we go for otherwise wages cost twice as much as we need another player anyway if we buy him.

We cannot afford to sign him. He’s injury prone. That is an absolute fact.
At first team level he debuted for Everton in his one game for them in 2017 and in five years he has only played a further 39 games, scoring 2 in 19 for Burton Albion in 2020-21 where he had hamstring issues and 10 in 20 at Sunderland where he was blighted with more hamstring problems. Called up to the Welsh squad at the end of last season and pulled out within a couple of days through injury.
Talented lad when fit but sorry we’ve had enough injury prone players in recent times and what is really worrying with his injury situation is he’s only 24.

That last sentence defies any sort of logic!
