Vipotnik

[SwanseaJack]

We got him on a free so that being the case at least we'd make a profit on him whatever the amount

No doubt we paid a very high signing on fee for him, probably in/near the 7 digits

 

[Dr. Winston]

He scored seven last season despite being in and out of the team and not having a manager who had a clue how to use him until the end of February.

Given a regular starting berth under Sheehan and a continuation of the way we played at the end of the campaign and I think he's capable of doubling that, a tally which this season would have put him in the divisional top five goalscorers.

People think that you need a 20+ goal striker to get anywhere in this division and it's simply not true. Nobody managed it this year. Not even Piroe. Sheff Utds top scorer has ten, but they have four players who have managed it.

That's what we need to do. Get Vipi into the teens and have four or five other players close to double figures.

I can see Eom chipping with a few more as he seemed to find his feet at the end of the season - as did most of the team. Sharing the goals around as you say will ease the burden on Vip & he can concentrate on his game.

 

[Dr. Winston]

Eom certainly should have five or six in him through a season.

I made this point earlier in the thread, but his minutes this season equate to almost exactly 23 games. It's not as simple as just 'double his games, double his goals', but should that have been the case, he'd have had 14 in the league.

Considering the top scorer this year was Piroe on 19, I'm not sure that's a bad enough return to write a player off after one season. Add into that the fact he barely got a consistent run of games and spent half the season playing under 'we won't give you the ball, lol' Luke Williams, I'm more than happy to keep him moving forward

Well there are not many players in the current squad that look like getting anywhere near ten goals. Our midfield and wingers are seriously lacking in the goal department.

As it happens his expected goal tally this season was 6. Shows he's at least getting the opportunities. Now he's got 3 (all excellent in different ways) he will hopefully be more composed in front of goal.

I'd be happy for Vipotnik to stay, but equally I would be happy for him to leave for £4 million. I'd consider letting him go for less if there are good alternatives available for a cut price, which is unlikely.
