Cheers Simply Red - I asked because scoring and assists in a lower division is obviously easier.
Alves scored more than a goal a game in Holland but that dropped to 1 in 5? in English Premier league.
Still a good scoring/creation record in any division is a start to narrow targets down with.
Based on this season's stats Charlie Wyke (free transfer) should be signed, but I would like to see him for 90 minutes over a number of games before commiting.
Alves problem wasn't a change in leagues , if the stories are correct
It was his liking for a tipple and a lady !
Wyke is having a great season, and Boro should have been watching him for most of the season to get a proper view.
Some on here doubt he would step up, and word has it he may get his chance to see at forest if posters on here are to be believed. We will soon find out.
Yes it is a step up, Jamal Lowe , And Ollie Watkins did it , there will be more.
Boro were aware of both but decided against them , bet they wished they had took the chance now.
I will add, Wyke is a target man , Lowe and Watkins use pace and ability , and natural athleticism as their tools, maybe a safer route when looking for a forward.
Keinan Davis, Dion Charles , Fejiri Okenabirhie, Siriki Dembele,Aaron Collins, Reiss Nelson, Carlos Mendes Gomes all have those tools. Those 7 would be exciting , with No fees.
