I do enjoy the reviews some folk give our more important players when they move on. Smacks exactly of the type of stuff you hear blokes come out with when they get the elbow from a woman; -She wo fat anyway (He only ran about, just a workhorse) -She'd nivver cook anyway (He never scored that many. Didn't bag 20 a season) -Her blowies wo ***** anyway (He had no pace, slow as a snail in behind) Some highlighted Tom's weak spots anyway well before this deal to be fair, but it's amusing when it comes out this way when he has left. For what it's worth, I think we'll struggle to replace him, in terms of the way he fits into our team currently and his finishing abilities. £1.25million doesn't even buy you Kayden Jackson these days.
I wonder what will happen if between now and January, Bradshaw doesn't do the business goal wise for Millwall and finds himself on the fringe of the starting eleven similar to what happened to him under Morais.? In the press release, it says the fee will be re-invested in the team. Does that infer we've already been paid the fee in lieu of him signing on a permanent in the New Year. Or can Millwall renege on the deal if it doesn't work out for both parties and not pay us the reported £1.25 million fee.?
MoM at Millwall last season with a brace. Quality striker, but unproven at premiership level. Gets the service, gets the goals. Good thought provoking post.
Seen online plenty of thanks for the memories messages to him. Genuinely what memories? A few goals and relegation? Can't wish him well joining that club, especially after their behaviour towards our fans at many different games.
Article in Yorkshire Post infers we've got a like for like replacement for Bradshaw lined up, plus AN Other also coming in before the loan deadline expires. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spo...aw-fee-on-like-for-like-replacement-1-9317644
No. Usually players get a torrent of abuse when they move on. I’ve never done that. But on this one - I’ve sort of been waiting for the good striker to appear but it never did. Against Oxford and then Wimbledon I was taking specific note of Bradders - and on both occasions I came away from the game thinking he’s not smart enough to find space or quick enough to get clear of defenders. We have Dougall and Mowatt that can pass a ball. So we need a very quick and clever striker. Someone like Ryan Kent would fit the bill right now.
We won't be fine if we don't bring in a league one ready replacement. That's the concern, not losing him per se. It already looks like we will be weakened for at least one game.
What, Ryan Kent as well as a clever striker? I was with you until the last sentence. Then you spoiled it.
Was nodding my head in agreement all way through post until that last bit. KENT? he struggled to beat an egg never mind a goalkeeper. Except against Leeds which was great. But a striker he certainly wasn't. A lot of people didnt like him. But a player I think would do very well for us under Daniel and in this team/style at the side of keeef.... Armstrong
So we need a ‘clever’ striker so you suggest Ryan Kent who’s not a striker & clever is about the last word I’d describe him as. On top of that he’s already joined Rangers for the season
How can Victor impress you more than Bradshaw ? The lad has had a couple of cameo appearances in the league & where he has done well as an impact player but was disappointing at Blackpool when he started , whilst we all want the lad to do well , he is not the finished article & certainly not ready for 90 mins week in week out with the style of play we have adopted .
I think we will miss him but not massively. For me he wasn't quite good enough for the Championship but a good bet for 20 goals in League 1. I wish him all the best. It's now down to the management to bring in a decent replacement.
