...Priskin is a Championship striker. Not Premiership...

 

We are never going to sign a player of prem quality in League One. The idea is to sign players who would do well in the championship! Why does everyone suddenly have this idea of buying premiership players, its madness, getting way too ahead of ourselves.

That rumour has blatantly come from here, go out into the wider web and then come back here. Brilliant.

 

Priskin is a Championship striker. Not Premiership, although with the strikers now doing alright in the top flight, whose to say who isn't good enough these days. But we're in League 1. Priskin would be a brilliant signing. As for out of form, it's Ipswich, it's Keane, they're all out of form and I guarantee all those players will find form once they leave or Keane leaves.

 

Lambert, Guly, Barnard, Priskin would be a ridiculous strikeforce for L1, and very good for the Championship. But ideally we'd get someone with a bit more pace to offer a different option.

 

In that case admins please close the thread; I apologise for misleading everyone.

Not particularly excited over the idea of an out of form Championship Striker when we have Connolly Barnard and Doble in reserve

 

Barnard is not a reserve. He is a first team player, who got injured and due to Guly's form has been put on the bench and used as a sub. Connolly is always injured and is clearly past it, Doble has never played for the first team so is hardly a back up to Lambert, Guly or Barnard. Priskin is miles better than Connolly and Doble, and yes I have seen him play on several occasions.

Makes perfect sense, competition/backup for Lambert. Connolly, Barnard and Doble are not competition for RL, they are different types of striker (smaller, more mobile, good when playing one big 'un and one small 'un). Whether Priskin would want to be 2nd choice behind RL remains to be seen , depends how hungary he is to redicover his old form :-) Also suspect it depends on the outcome of the Guly transfer, since although he is really a MF he seems to be enjoying playing as 2nd striker to RL, and at the moment in preference to Barnard.

Priskin's had one good half-season in his career. Has talent, potential, but is erratic and has proven lazy previously. Definitely a confidence player in some respects, but I really wouldn't want him here, could see fans getting on his back really quickly (likely 'big' outlay) if he doesn't produce big quickly (which is likely).

I watched him in the Anglian derby and it was barn door and banjo stuff, but confidence is clearly low at Ipswich full stop. He scored 14 in a season for Watford a couple of years back, but struggled to find goals since then. He doesn't inspire me, but not seen a lot of him.

My mate who is a massive QPR fan says he was not rated in the slightest,when he was on loan there last year.Apparently he was lazy,and his finishing was awful.

True, hes awful and was the laziest player Ive seen there for years. Bottled every challenge and rarely won a header.

AND he always somehow managed to score at SMS!! Bonus!

Roy Keane has just quit Ipswich - could affect any possible deal?

 

Still waiting for confirmation from the BBC, though Sky Sports are claiming he's been "sacked" (their use of quotations, presumably for legal reasons).
