We have zero front line threat which has a knock on affect to midfielders not finding outlets and thus defenders coming under more pressure due to turn overs. Therefore it was a big mistake losing someone that could do a job in an emergency to f*** all.
You’ll never convince me that letting Dennis, whose primary contribution was looking like he’d rather run down a blind alley and give the ball away before he’d even consider passing to one of his team mates, go was anything approaching a ‘mistake’. The mistake was finding replacements that were somehow worse.
Those 8 games he’s managed without any contribution in Turkey prove me correct.

Unfortunately we're not Man City and therefore at our level you'd be hard pressed to find a better replacement backup, especially now when we have no money.

I don't care about Turkey, I only care about what people can do for NFFC.

Not sure if he was available at the time but it's mental that we brought in Dennis from Watford and not Joao Pedro who then spent a year playing Championship football.
There's probably 20 million reasons why we went with the lesser player of the two.

Again, we're not Man City people. We're not even Brighton who have the luxury of a foundation of yearly PL money.

Based on what, the hope that he can't possibly continue to show nothing at all?
I think that as a striker he needs to have games to get fully match fit and, more importantly, get striker sharp.
I think he has showed at least as much in the matches he has played as Wood has, except, Wood got the brace aganst a bad SUFC.

Brace v Luton, winner v Sheff U.

I see that argument Captain, but what if he never gets match fit? He never looks any kind of fit, let alone match fit. (Also Wood scored one against SU and two against Luton :) )
My memory of recent events is letting me down.
My memories of school days, long lost loves, and TV programmes of yesteryear isw crystal clear.
Thanks for refreshing my memory about Wood's goal scoring feats.
I still believe Origi has a lot more to offer, given the right opportunities.

Where has this confidential information been made public mate?
You can look at guesstimates on Transfermarkt website and a few other outlets.

Surely that's just based on his (probably also estimated) wage at Milan? We could be paying them 100% of that, or less, or just a flat fee, surely? No one really knows.
