It's not like we have swapped them 100% out of choice. The only "issue" is whether we have taken the correct steps to maximise the value of a player who was always going to leave. One for the hierarchy to explain in due course................. We've got Mayulu and Armstrong, that's who we have to get behind this season like it or not. I certainly won't be worrying or rushing to find out what Tommy Conway does elsewhere, that's for sure. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MythikRobins Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) Sinclair Armstrong is certainly a poor finisher theres no real hiding that, Mayulu and Conway are both decent finishers.

I agree mostly, question is I guess does he get in ahead of Latte-Lath. next cab off the rank, does he perhaps play behind him. If we can get a creative 10 and a consistent structure perhaps the game changes. Perhaps Yu can be a bit of a gamechanger too injury permitting.

RedRock Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Conway is decent. Not a ‘great’ at the moment, but has significant potential. For me, he is a ‘natural’ striker. His instincts create goal opportunities for him and he’s got calmness in front of goal. These are rare attributes and are extremely difficult to coach - you either have it, or you don’t. I await to see whether the two strikers we’ve bought are ‘natural’ finishers. If they’re not and we sell Conway, I fear another season in the doldrums. The only hope in the ‘we’ve bought another couple of donkeys’ scenario, would be if Bell can emulate Conway - which he could, Cornick is reborn, Wells has age reversal treatment or Manning sees the light - which he won’t - and plays Sykes in the ‘hole’. Anyhows, as the Club slogan says ‘always believe’ that our brilliant recruitment team have hit the striker bullseye and we’ve got ourselves a couple of quality 10-15 goal players.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Fwiw Mehmeti getting 9 Assists would be very favourable by way of example.

Sykes would get you that if played for a full season, so would Bell from the wide left and hopefully this Wu kiddie can notch a few too.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) Tommy at the same age got 9 Goals, 34 Games Conversion Rate very decent. None of them penalties.

Whether you liked his football, think he underperformed or whatever he did bring that experience and know-how to the party imo. I wouldn't blame Liam for not doing that though because he had enough on his plate establishing himself enough to get a fair crack this season and very few breaks in between to think about the Tommy Conway Contract situation tbf to him.

They finished 7th, 3 points ahead of us and Flint scored 1 goal in 39.

Fortunately he found a loan move to Auxerre in January, it was mid-season. With a key asset though, hmm- harder to say. Fair point, thought he was dropped mainly to U21s. Think the difference is, we have maybe known since TC returned or maybe before then, that he was not signing a contract so therefore had to be moved on to retain any value in him. According to the Northern Echo Boro have held an interest in him for some time and no doubt other have perhaps been in contact and waiting to see what happened. So assume BCFC know of the interest and were confident they could move him on this window, just about at what price and if maybe having to push Tommy to club he may not have been so keen on. (thought of wasting away in u21's and not just seeing out his contract is a significant pressure) I see no issue with going in the U21's with above seeming to be the way things are panning out, I don't think it has any bearing on his value as anyone who is going to stump up several million on a player will have done there due diligence. Had he played in our pre-season and either performed badly or worse got injured then that could have impacted both value and if he moved on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon to turn 22, strikers don't tend to peak in many cases until their mid 20s onwards. Maynard didn't really get going with us until he turned 23 e.g. Semenyo showed flashes and an injury didn't help but turning 21 was a bit of a turning point for him although raw potential was always there.
