Haven't seen him playing for them in a while though. 5 in 27 suggests otherwise...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 He might get a different scoring record playing with different players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DCJonah Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 We don't need him to be a 1 in 2 striker. Wesley has 5 goals and didn't have a shot on target for a 4 game stretch Samatta and this guy don't need to be Henry and Shearer to help us survive. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I mean they spent £15.5m on him so he must be good, right? RIGHT?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 4 minutes ago, Tommo_b said: Any good? I'd say 'not really'. He looked a good player 5-6 years ago. In particular scored quite a lot of goals for Eibar (in La Liga) in loan spell. He was pretty prolific at Segunda level (pretty shocking standard) where he scored a lot for Zaragoza. His performance at Eibar earned him a fairly big money move to Swansea and since 2016 he has scored just over 10 league goals, including two loan spells at La Liga clubs.

useless Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 His stats aren't even that bad, I remember in the summer people laughing at Sheffield United for signing Mousett because of his stats, and it was me who pointed out that his goals to minutes ratio was actually pretty decent, and the same is true for Baston, something like 90 goals in what amounts to about 190 games in terms of minutes on the pitch. You could say that he's performed at a much higher level than any of our current strikers having had good seasons in La Liga, although I think Samatta will do well for us in the Prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted January 31, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2020 It’s a free transfer and give us an extra body in the striker position. Get it done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted January 31, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2020 We love a January deadline day desperation signing from Swansea. Fine, better than nobody, will have my backing until given enough reasons not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 He’s shit, they bought him when they was in the premier and soon loaned him back to spain, only scored for them in the championship this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post theboyangel Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 (Aaaannd it’s) Baston Villa!!! most likely third choice, better than Hogan and our academy players and hopefully more motivated than the recently departed Kodjia. not inspiring but doesn’t make me apoplectic with rage either! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 We have one senior striker window closes in 5 hours. He has top flight experience and it seems like a goer. I will be ecstatic if we got him. I would be ecstatic if we signed anyone. We are not and never were going to drop 30m on a Mitro or a Piatek. That would have been irresponsible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 He has to be better than Borja Birmingham at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Lots of people have said it already, but if he's cheap (even better if he's on a free transfer as suggested) then I think bringing him in is a good move. We need squad depth and he doesn't have to set the world on fire. I would have liked a bigger name but the club have made some good signings recently, so I'll trust their choice. Welcome Borja! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
