I actually think the opposite. Shows how highly City rate him. He’s not seen as an easy profit and a trading player for them just yet. He’s probably the best young English striker around right now. Not sure why that isn’t intent and is underwhelming. Given you’re on here suggesting Ballard should have stayed then criticism of this signing is an incredible position to take.

I’ll go out on a limb and say they start poorly and have a new manager by January.

I’ll happily bet with you they won’t.

Remind me not to try sarcasm online again.

Because they are not comparable to the three teams that came down from the PL and also shouldn’t be a team we are thinking of avoiding before a ball is kicked.

Wrexham doing well to get a mention in that group 😂

Saying there is little benefit isn’t weird. I agreed. The weird bit was someone asking a reasonable question and you responding declaring their league as full of shit and nobody cares. The gripe part..like I said. Anyway Matsuki was a benefit and we should all be forever grateful for that.

Think you’re reaching a bit there 😂 It’s a weird gripe people have with a club that is barely making an impression on us either way. (Through our own entire fault not living up to our side of the plan btw and nothing to do with them)

Who is distracted?

Do people not already think we have this then? We have a couple of proven options already and people are keen to sell them because they aren't good enough.

Not sure City and Mubama will be too chuffed if we start looking to bump him down to 3rd choice tbh. And the whole ‘proven’ thing is very dull. Won’t find many more ‘Proven’ than Archer and Diaz for example.

Little bit more of him here. Quick feet and good poachers instinct. Typical City striker really. Don't think we'll get much of the Stewart finishes out of nothing but should enjoy playing with Azaz, Scienza and Fellows I would suggest.

Tipped Mubama last season as top league goalscorer. Was a terrible tip in the end and I'm pretty sure he got sent off against us didn't he? Anyway, he's really good and I'll happily tip him as top scorer again.

There’s an interview on YouTube that the Brentford owner did last season in which he discussed this kind of topic. In it he states that Brentford look for strikers who get lots of chances even if they miss them over ones who are clinical with the little efforts they get. That is the skill they look for.

Really important that these are taken away a one hour slot on the radio. Or at the very least it has an extended ‘after hours’ session afterwards. Blackmore very annoying but just a symptom of being confined to the live hour broadcast and trying to get through it without having awkwardness on air. Funny the kit question got criticised…it was the only one that seemed to bring about any pushback from the fan 😂
