I've actually done the math and it indicates that he'd score about 3-400 goals per season.

Mark my words, we will live to regret this sale.

Well, we've seen the closer to 3 seasons...🙂

End of an era. 
 

Thank you tall paul. No idea how we will replace your goals

That all depends on how we fritter the proceeds.

Terms have been agreed. Does that include them actually paying us?

I understand that with Orsic there was some confusion about which way the 3.5 million should go..

Looks like we own then 10m now

Good luck big man.

[chivvy]

He was pretty unothordox .. great comedy value but really a technically poor  with zero stamina and awkward more than dominant in the air. The fact he was our top scorer sums up just how shit our season was.

A targetman who was never targeted, with a poacher's instinct for winning loose balls in the box on the rare occasion the team did anything progressive like taking a shot or putting in a low cross. With the right gameplan he's Chris Wood, but unfortunately during his whole time at Saints he was managed by retards.

All like 4 of them 😂 a beast and our leading goal scorer!

Shame to see him go, he'd have been a useful option in the Championship.

Never worked out for him here and horrendously mismanaged, best of luck to him

@Lighthouse Has the thread title jumped the gun a little?

Saints website has said terms have been agreed, but neither club have announced he has actually left (yet).

If he had signed, wouldn't it be mentioned on here... (as of the time of this post it hasn't been)

Various sites are suggesting a medical today.  Or tomorrow.  Or soon.

Same as Sulemana, they will both be completed, not expecting any ABK-type shenanigans.

The transfer fee and his freed up wages will be much more useful to us than any on pitch output we 'may' have got. I'm not sure why people are sad to see him go, he was utter dog shite.

He had his poor games but he was also a handful for other teams to defend against on occasions, and fought his way back in the team after being completely frozen out.

His goalscoring record at other clubs speaks for itself, here he got Nathan Jones, Ruben Selles, Russell Martin and Ivan Juric not knowing what to do with a 6ft 7ins target man.

He was expected to do too much whilst playing on his own up front. None of these managers knew anything about attacking or trying to score goals.

His goalscoring record speaks for the fact that he's 30 years old and neve done anything outside of Turkey and Belgium. The fact that he did very little under four different managers, then none of the other PL clubs snapped him up this summer also speaks for itself.

Why haven't Leeds, Sunderland or Burnley bought him, he was obviously available and for only £6m?

We literally had the top scorer in the Championship last time we were in it. The idea that we haven't been attacking or trying to score goals is insane but if you really want to peddle that myth then I don't think expecting a multi million pound striker to get into the team, contribute or at the very least ensure his 2nd touch isn't a tackle 75% of the time can be considered expecting too much.

The ones that dropped him quite quickly seemed to know what they were doing with him. 40 appearances in 2 and a half years, 4 goals and 3 of those probably should have been prevented with better goalkeeping. But yeah, mismanaged.
