Another two goals for Johnson Clarke Harris today


Good job Fulham didn’t have that mentality and flog Mitrovic on the basis of several failed attempts at the PL!

Clarke-Harris had a few failed Championship seasons as a youngster but has arguably earned another crack at that level since. Roughly 1 in 3 in a hopeless team at that level last season isn’t a bad effort either.

Tell you what if mitrovic was only good for league one then fulham wouldn't have took the chance on him..you're comparing mitrovic who is more than good enough for the championship and has proved to be decent in the premier league to someone who isn't good enough for the championship and has a good league one record. Its not even up for debate when it comes to mitrovic and Clarke Harris.
 
61 goals in 117 apps for Peterborough (12 in 41 championship)

The 1st time he played championship football he was between 18-20 year old.

I'm not saying he was the answer but those that are writing him off are maybe a bit premature.
 
And that is the issue. Too many on here are still using the Grigg signing as an excuse not to invest.

It's not an excuse to not invest. It's evidence of when we invest in the wrong profile of player. JCH was at most a 50% bet on getting us promoted. Geldhart is at most a 50% bet on getting us promoted. What's the difference? The profile of the player and we are investing in the future by showing clubs/players higher up the pyrimaid that we can be trusted to develop players.
 
Is the manager Cherry Knowles?
Because he has just said without strikers he felt that we didn't have the tools to do the job,

For a striker with a better than 1 in 2 record with his current club? You are an idiot

Whoosh. f***ing headbanger, Whetever the question was, the answer was not Johnson f***ing Clarke-Harris. Signing rwats like that wa swhat got us in the shot in the first place.

We can be trusted to develop players.

We're a football club not a kindergarten.
We shouldn't be taking players on loan to develop UNLESS they vastly improve our team.(Diallo)

Geldhart may well yet improve the team. Fair enough, he hasn't so far but that's not to say he won't. If you've got a choice between taking a chance on a young, very highly rated Premier League forward on loan or taking a chance on spending £4M plus for a 28 year old striker from L1 with a very sketchy record at this level and alleged attitude problems for 6 months, I'd say it's fairly obvious which most would chose 9 times out of 10.

Agree but any youngster coming on loan has to improve our team, at the minute Gelhardt hasn't.

I agree. Mind you, Diallo didn't at first. There's time yet for Geldhart still has time to improve and make a positive impact on the season.

Bye the time Gelhardt gets up and running the season could be done.
We really needed someone to hit the ground running.
Nevermind.🙂
