Regards Yates, a striker who has got 36 goals in 4 seasons in the champ with struggling teams.
I think he is capable and in a better team can score more goals.

I would like to see him back here next season and given a chance in the 1st team squad.
 
Yates is an enigma.

36 goals in 4 seasons is only an average of 9 goals per season which as the main goal scorer of the side is not high enough. Could he do better in a side that actually plays quickly and creates chances for him?

Maybe, but would he do better than Vipotnik who at least puts himself about as a lone striker?
What about Kuharevych?

Unless the new manager wants a two up top then I don't see a place for Yates.
 
Yates should have been. VP could be. Cullen is. Good strikers are hard to come by and need to be developed. We have been poor in attack for three seasons, let's hope we get a bit more consistency out of this squad in the last few games of a difficult season.
 
We've been spoilt over the years with players who could score high teens/20 goals pretty much every season: Trundle, Scotland, Sinclair, Michu, Bony, Ayew, Llorente, McBurnie, Piroe.

I think it's pretty clear that while Cullen, Vipotnik and Yates all have their respective strengths, none of them is likely to be regularly scoring 15+ goals per season. We also can't play all of them in the same 11, unless some of them are way out of position.

Best case scenario (without a huge influx of capital) is what others have said earlier in the thread, we get better at supplying whoever we have up-front with chances to score. It's not as if our front players are missing lots of good chances. Eom in the second half is the only player I can think of from yesterday who didn't score when he should have. If one of Vipotnik's efforts from outside the area had gone in, or the instinctive effort that hit the post, that would have been a bonus and a Piroe-like goal. As in, more down to the striker's ability to make a chance for himself.

Perhaps Widell will be a difference-maker, perhaps Eom will blossom playing as a 10, perhaps we'll miraculously find a cheap and gifted creative player this summer, perhaps our wingers will suddenly get better at providing the striker with good chances, maybe we even stumble into a manager who can get us playing in a way that creates more chances, who knows?

I must admit that the technicalities of the Danish league system aren't my strong point, but I've seen a few people suggest that he may be available from the middle of this month?
I think the season ends this month but then goes into play offs until the end of May

Correct, Aalborg play their last game of the regular season on the 16th March. But then the Danish league does a Scottish league style split so every team plays in this play off stage. Last season this continued on until May 25th, and all the teams played on that final day. Presumably dates will be roughly same this season.

He is planned to join up with us in the Summer. Looks like a player that brings alot of energy and creativity. Excited to see him and where he goes into the team. Might be Lewis replacement.
 
Aalborg played on Sunday ( beaten 4-1 at home ) Widell was neither in the team or on the bench and wasn't listed as injured, anyone itk ?

Pity we couldn't push the boat out and get O'brien in on a permanent be worth every penny on his current form, probably one of the best players we've had for years especially in the midfield.

I just don't see us keeping him. From what has been reported we had to pay him more to come to us. He might see that he is at an age where he feels that he can play at a higher level and better money. I can't see him staying, as we won't pay that much. But think we need to keep him. Yes.
 
We could probably agree a fee, but the wages will be more than we can or should pay.

Afraid we're going to have to find his cheap equivalent. Another Franco would be nice and affordable.

I think I had heard that he already has a move back to the states lined up.

If this is true and you have to find some positives in this then at least Lewis has shown the club that we need player who has energy and wants to push forward and not Grimes replacement. I would rather be looking for the next player to step up than the slog of Grimes style.
