This guy may turn out to be ok ,but his stats are very poor for a striker ,and we have Erwin and Dennis in the same mould. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't class him as a striker , certainly Huddersfield used him wide right on several occasions. He will definitely bring a new dimension as he's quick and direct .

Fair enough but in the context of a diddy club like Saints in 2021 that's a bit of a "flat earth" statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 In fairness the only slightly worrying looking spell in his stats was 2 goals in 49 appearances for Huddersfield. But to put that into context, 27 of those appearances were in the EPL and 22 in the Championship so a pretty high level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching a few games when Huddersfield were going for promotion to the EPL. In games that they were chasing they often brought him on and he would create goals for the strikers. He was a hero of the support at that time ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmettroll Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Can't say I've ever heard of him but he's got quite an impressive list of former clubs so I can imagine he's got talent.... Welcome Collin and best of luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether this guy turns out to be success or not, I think we can safely assume he’s on a different level to those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portmahomack saint Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Can imagine he was on a fare wage playing in the EPL and with money tight down there offers would have been few. I'm guessing it's a short term deal anyone know ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we any strikers in the academy that we can reliably throw into the first team at this stage of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidebud Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Welcome to the Saints, Collin! I don't know anything about him so will have faith in Jim - club are showing real ambition with Brophy and now a former EPL player signing. To play at that level he must be able to offer us something positive. Exciting times - just wish we (the fans) could be at the games in person - everything so remote at the moment.

If he's been training with Schalke in Germany he's very likely not receiving clearance to play until next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
