Wonder what all you doom mangers would be saying if we had just signed a bricklayer from Poole Town, sure some of your heads would have exploded.
Well that player could have been Charlie Austin.
But we didn't,we signed him after he proved himself at Swindon and Burnley so being at Poole means fark all.
Signing an unproven foreigner is in no way comparable to signing Austin.
Fark me,some of you here are so afraid to criticise our transfer targets it's farking embarrasing.You all say 'give him a chance',yet some of the suggested targets would struggle to get league 2 supporters excited.
Dave - I think in our situation we cannot rely on one who has played one season in the second level of Portuguese League - approximately same as Scottish Championship. If Charlie gets injured and Dellatorre would be his back up we would most likely be f*cked. But as said I have nothing personal against him if we sign a more proven striker as well.
Ok sorry Tim, yeah i can see what your saying now, so you'd like to see a proven scorer. No guarantees mind who ever we get or what their stats are

Read the post IF we had signed him from Poole. You know nothing about this lad like most of us so how can you critise him, nothing to do with being affraid just like to make my own mind up about a player rather than follow others who are equally ignorant of his ability like some deluded sheep!

You really,honestly think he will fill in for Austin if he gets injured,and be up for a freezing febuary night up north,and guarantee a goal like Charlie almost always does?.
Just seems pointless in signing a young foreign player who will need time to adapt with different country,language barrier & a totally different league to what he is used to.we need our back up players to be up to speed, cant afford to give him 6months or so to bed in. Surely there has to be better options than this.
He looks more of a wide player to me but I know little about him, we all know we need more goals maybe a wide player who scores will compliment Austin rather than be seen as a replacement. Just might be we are signing a few prospects because we intend to spend our money on one proven striker, guess by Friday night we will know.

How do you know he won't eh? You, like the rest of us here know very little about this guy!! Why assume the worst?

You really have to ask! On this message board. .? That's what happens.....assume the worst....remember how many on here were slating Austen when he had a slow start to the season
