mattman Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Find it weird how clubs at one minute are asking players to fake wage cuts, releasing players who fail to do so, yet outbidding prem teams for players, think there is more to this...

turrabuddie Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I thought he brought out the best in Obika and they linked up really well. Looked a player to me.Obika certainly looked a better player when partnered with Jakubiak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turrabuddie Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I'd take Hemmings.I hope the club at least talk to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turrabuddie Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Dundee like splashing the cash on forwards. Good luck to them this season. Got to be in with a shout.Hearts must now be seriously worried about losing their opening league match, if they weren’t already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Good foil for Obika but really, that's all he was. He scored 1 in 10 games for us at the end of the day. He came to us following his Watford release with a price via his agent, we instantly baulked at it and that was the end of it. Dundee have came in and got him on a significantly lesser wage than he asked us for initially about 6 weeks ago (presumably know exactly how much he's getting as his agent will have come back to us to try and match the revised offer) and we've still not taken him up on it, so Goodwin clearly didn't think he was worthy of the wage he was asking. No big deal, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Well I may be a lone voice here but I actually thought Jakubiak was just a bit meh for us. Losing out on him is no big deal IMO, especially if he's costing Dundee a fat wedge. Good luck to him but I don't expect any heather to be set alight on Tayside with him and Danny Mullen as Dundee's striking pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you just love it if those whinging Edinburgh wankers failed to win promotion at their first attempt ? Or their second attempt ? Can you imagine the infighting on Kickback ? Glorious.

As djchapsticks says, Jakubiak got just one goal in 10 games for us. Should we break the bank to secure his services ? Even Cody Cooke scored more goals than that.

Sensible. And it was the club that unearthed Jakubiak so in Jim we trust. I do smell shite over the wages bit though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Goodwin on Radio Go football show, with Ali De Foy as host, saying Jakubiak doesn't score enough goals. Goodwin had a valuation and wouldn't go above it. Seems fair enough to me. Rumour has it he was asking for £3k per week.

Magic Monkey Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 While it's odd to see him rocking up at Dundee, the sequence of events that @djchapsticks has outlined seems pretty clear. There's no way we should be pushing the boat out that far for this guy. Or, put it another way: if we were going to cough up well in excess of £3k a week for a striker, we could do much better than Jakubiak. I'm happy to see what the loan system throws up because the fact remains that we only usually play with one striker anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, that';s an issue, but my point was more that we really can't splash the cash on someone who doesn't necessarily fit our system.
