Thread: Eammon Brophy being linked

  1. #1

    Eammon Brophy being linked

    I’ve done a bit of research

    He’s a Kilmarnock striker

    £1m bid

    Age 23

    About 5 ft 10 ish

    11 goals in 29 last season- however 6 were from the spot


    Hopefully ‘one for the future’, rather than the guy who we are going to rely on for the goals to send us up

    Mailonline seem to get the inside track on our transfers too

    Did this guy terrorize the Conners Quay defence the other day.

    Fills me with despair to be honest! Goals win games! C'mon Neil pull your finger out. Killie were knocked out by Connah's Quay Nomads in the week, was he in their team?

    Exactly what I thought as soon as I saw Kilmarnock.
    Didn't they finish third in the Scottish prem last season and got beat by a bunch of Welsh part-timers?
    That league really is a joke.

    No thanks! There must be better strikers closer to home Shirley? Even in the Welsh league.

    Played in both legs, scored a pen in first.

    Wouldn’t write him off just because of that game.

    Kilmarnock did well last season under Clarke who’s gone on to manage Scotland.

    We’ve had a few decent players from up there.

    I agree actually,just couldn't resist the dig.

    I really hope I'm wrong, but he appears to be another Rhys Healey? We really, really need a first class striker to fire us out of this division! Surely if he was any good Rangers or Celtic would be sniffing around?

    How many players have to go from the WPL to League Two or higher before we stop saying "Even the Welsh League"? The Nomads won on merit over the two legs against last year's third best SPL team and not because the SPL "is a joke" either.

    Re: Eammon Brophy being linked

    At 23 I’d expect more than just ‘one for the future’

    23, easily the “young player of the year” next season

    Other nations are giving respect (starting to give respect) to the WPL. Why not us as well?

    Looks like they already are https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/06/0...get-eamonn-br/

    Rangers, Leeds & Derby according to this

    The fact that other clubs are sniffing around him, does fill me with more confidence:

    We do though, really need an experienced striker at this level to get us the goals to get us out of this division. It's going to take a lot more than Vaulks aiming his throw ins at Flint's bonce, and hoping he scores

    Re: Eammon Brophy being linked

    He would be a replacment for Healey you would presume.

    We will spend the Zohore money and then some.

    Well the incoming money is presumable in addition to the reported 25 million initially available. I don't know how much of that initial amount is left but if you add the sales on there must be a fair amount still available for a striker, even if Vinny has to reach a little further into his pocket to secure one.

    I think it was initially reported that there was £15m available and even then it was WOL guesswork

    I seem to recall only in the last week or two the 25 Mill figure being used by someone in the club. don't know if it was NW or someone else. If it is true and we add the sales money then we should have enough to find some kind of a striker. (or maybe half of one)

    The majority of players in the Welsh league teams are part timers with jobs and one of those teams beat a side who finished third in the top tier of the Scottish league, players who play football day in day out.

    It's not a case of me disrespecting the Welsh league at all, I am asking why we seem intent on going north of the border recruiting players who are playing at a "poor" level week in week out.
    It seems asking a lot for them to make the step up to championship level and if we were going down that route, have a look closer to home.

    Wiki has him down as only 5’9”. A Warnock striker ?
