Drooper Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Perhaps I'm reading too much into the goal/assist stats. They don't tell the whole story, but if it were to be a 4 month loan deal as has been suggested, I do wonder what kind of impact he could have.

A goal every 160 mins at Championship level for Cardiff is decent. He never got a sniff in Turkey. 17 appearances for a very decent Konyaspor side but no starts and an average of about 12 minutes per appearance. Before injuring his knee ligaments...another box ticked in Robinson bingo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives Ayunga time to get fit and up to speed. Or, assuming he's surplus to requirements, we'll maybe be able to make it permanent after 4 months if he does well. If he doesn't do well, then he goes back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assumed he was about that age when he played for Hearts. I'd be happy enough if we signed him. Always thought he was a decent player at Hearts. Would not be opposed to signing him although a loan deal would bd disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking through his history, the guy is 28 and played for more than a dozen clubs - admittedly a lot of short loan spells in the early part of his career - which is the only thing that puts me off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Ikpeazu, he’s a handful in the same mould as Nouble is. I’d say that he’d be a decent signing for most of the teams in the league, even if he does look like Bambi on ice half the time. He’s ironically, after that clip got decent feet from what I remember. I’m sure the Hearts fans will be along soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kempes Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 IIRC, Jack Ross tried to sign him for the Saints but we lost out to Hearts. He had some good games for the Jambos but I never felt they got the best out of him. Maybe Robbo would, and it would only be a short term gamble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenstrieSaint Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Uche,s goalscoring record at Hearts was poor , but he was a big nuisance and actually had decent ball control , he could probably do a job for us . Wondering what's going on in Robbo,s mind as he puts the squad together. Think we need a couple of defenders . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably suits a team like St Mirren/St Johnstone/Livi more than he suits Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) If it is Ikpeazu, unless it's a pay as you play deal that fits into our budget, I really do not see the benefit in bringing him to Paisley. Edited July 24, 2023 by Ric 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I'm not sure about adding more forward lines - I'd have thought our budget would be better spent on midfield or defence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be the case regardless of who this mystery forward actually is. It's not who it proves to be it's the fact it's another forward when it looks like we require cover elsewhere, particularly RWB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 For more years than I care to remember we’ve been a graveyard for strikers. At last we have a manager who wants to address this problem. What do we get, fans moaning about cover at left back and midfield, trust the man to deliver it’s still fucking July. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I imagine either Strapp or Marshall will sign. With Tanser fit again there is no immediate rush but we will definitely bring in another LWB. I think most of us would like to see another centre half and a creative midfielder in the squad but sounds like we will need to wait until Baccus and/or Carson move on before we see any more new faces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson has addressed why another forward benefits us at this moment in time. Do I agree with it? Well no in terms of a short term loan but then I don't like short term loans in general. I am not a fan of giving another team's player regular first team minutes if the sole purpose is for them to go back a fitter, oven ready option for them. Do I think Ikpeazu though would be an asset? I do actually but I'd much rather it was permanent or a loan with realistic option to make it so. Also, Pay as you Play is the biggest myth in world football. I can't think of a single player in Scottish football in last 30 years who has agreed to a PAYP deal and that definitely wouldn't be the case for a loan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
