Another two goals for Johnson Clarke Harris today


I wouldn’t have paid £5m but for around £3m I’d have taken a punt on him. He’s hardly a ‘plodder’ as some have described him - 1 in 2 over the course of 3 seasons at Peterborough.
 
And we have been promoted to the Premier league with his goals so can happily write off the £4 million we paid for him

Plus the likely £250,000 in wages [22 weeks if we signed him on deadline day until the 30th June), appearance fees and goalscoring bonuses and possibly another similar amount in signing on fees and agent fees. So close to £5M for somebody with a sketchy record at this level who we may not be able to get shot of. That's only based on him signing a 6 month deal just incase he managed to score us into the play offs. Utter fantasy man.

Meanwhile we totally threw away our promotion chances from an excellent position.#

As Mowbray said today without strikers we didnt have the tools to do the job. That is the manager's own words

Cant believe anyone is still advocating we go down this path after the last year and a half we have had, f..k me man.
Mate we have literally thrown our promotion chances away.
It's absolutely staggering anyone thinks Jonson Clarke Harris is the answer to our problems


In the league below for fucks sake. We're past league one shite now.

Didnt Ross Stewart score goals in League 1
Did Ross Stewart score goals in the championship?

It's the position the complete lack of planning by the recruitment team has left us in unfortunately. We're in for a shock in the summer when we try and agree fees for forwards, everyone knows how desperate we are. Unless we're sticking to the loan / free transfer market again.

Edit : I wouldn't want him either.
 
We don’t take punts any more, I’m glad of that.
Every purchase is a punt mate, especially untried and unknown youngsters from France and Costa Rica.
How many did he score in the championship at 16? I mean his last 3 seasons, 2 of them have been in league one so what's relevant about that?
So you wouldn’t ever buy anyone who’s scored goals at the level below you’re currently at?
