New Mol Mix thread for Papper titled 'Please don't use my name in vein:

Good Lord.

No it wasn't Jonzy off MolMix it was Moses Jones from NantGarw who told me.

Looks like Williamson has signed

Think he is still doing his medical. We have basically said he is here but its not over the line just yet

Hopefully confirmed officially soon - more important for us to sort out the back end, we can do reasonably well with a load of 1 - 0 wins from here on in & more likely to get them with a bit of organisation there.

Just need to find a left back now

I liked Keogh. Hasn't he got himself in a bit of bother down under for basically being a diet version of Michael McIndoe?

You know what's worse than a player being in the middle of wrecking your [local] club after his wife and uncle got handouts to circumvent the salary cap?

6 months later he's back playing for the same team. :wallbash:

Ran back to Aus from Thailand because he couldn't hack it there so not sure he's even Champ-calibre these days.

True, but they were both young strikers who could hopefully score 10+ goals a season in the Championship. They met the requirements of the question asked so surely should still count as a legitimate answer.

Afobe hadn't done anything to suggest he'd score as many as he did.

New Mol Mix thread for Papper titled 'Please don't use my name in vein:

Deary me that is embarrassing whatt a pompous attitude to take after such a throw away comment there again after the Afobe incident I'm not that surprised IIRC Some user completely shattered his theory on Benik not wanting to leave Wolves.

 

[Johnny75]

Afobe hadn't done anything to suggest he'd score as many as he did.

Really? 10 in 22 for McDons?

 

[Boozad]

Hence the word 'hopefully'. You just proved the point perfectly.

 

[Alan]

That was the entirety of his notable exploits before joining us.

My point isn't to knock on him but to show that you don't have to be particularly prolific to do a good job elsewhere.

Aye, it was meant to emphasize that part of your point.

We believe you. :jpshakehead:

Players tweets to the departing Scott Golbourne http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/01/2...tm_source=twitter&utm_content=HITCdeadlineday

HITC says, "Golbourne left having fallen out of favour due to the form of Matt Doherty."

Have said it before, however that Golbourne twitter account is just a shell account for a sports business he seems to be involved with! I run my clubs twitter account and they DM me at least once every 3 months about buying clubwear from them.

It may just be me but I didn't think Afobe was anywhere near as impressive without Dicko to play off.

Afobe needs service, he's a decent finisher but he's never really going to create anything.

Hell of a lot of good strikers like that, they just do the most important thing. Game changers.

Depends how your team is set up to play.

Afobe would've been no more use than Marcus Bent in Wolves' first PL season under McCarthy, what with the 10 men behind the ball and let Doyle chase everything you punt forward approach, certainly wouldn't have been considered anything close to a game changer playing that way.

If you were struggling to break a team down then a player in that mould isn't really going to make any difference as they make no impact on your approach play.

Of course the blend of the team and requirements always come before the individual talent.

What's the phrase? I'll drive him there myself, isn't it?
