Re: Uche Ikpeazu?

A friend just told me that he's read we are showing interest in striker Uche Ikpeazu?
I'm not to familiar with him so wondered if we are would he be a good replacement for Moore if it was true?
Anyone know if he's decent?

Stop fibbing, Stan.

Re: Uche Ikpeazu?

Yes but without the skill of Leo and not as many goals. Big centre forward type who is ok at league two level maybe league one at best but not good enough for the championship. One of Warnocks poor signings for Middlesbrough. Might just be ok if we were in league one next season. If that’s what we are looking at we are in trouble.

A Warnock signing? ffs i bet his wages are on par with Harry Kane's

Fibbing? Care to explain or maybe just add something to the thread without trying to start a bickering contest..

Re: Uche Ikpeazu?

Who's his agent Stan? Is there a Warnock ('borough) link (I stress I don't know and haven't looked)?

sounds like yes and yes

WOL claiming the club contacted Boro this morning to register an interest. When I first saw the headline I thought it was just one of those circular rumours - WOL mentioned Ikpeazu being made available for transfer by Wilder a few days ago in a 'round up' piece - mainly because we had shown an interest last summer. Those type of incidental comments usually get picked up by marginal 'news' sites and turned into something they aren't. But maybe this is genuine.

But Ikpeazu is not a Moore replacement. If anything he would be another Collins (but a bit taller) - a journeyman, trier, experienced, not much pace and doesn't score a lot! Probably a 'great lad'.

WOL also saying Boro prefer to sell (valuation of £750k mentioned) but we only want a loan to the end of the season. West Brom (!), Millwall and Hull also supposed to be interested. I can see him going to Hull now they have their new owners, new manager, an end to their transfer restrictions, and a new budget burning a hole in their pockets. He wouldn't even need to move house!

Re: Uche Ikpeazu?

So much for the new direction and evolving the style of play. I think we were linked with him in the summer

Re: Uche Ikpeazu?

Watched him a few times on Sky Championship games/highlights. Seemed quick on the turn, strong, good shot, hold the ball up well. Personally I'd say offers more than Mark Harris.

Re: Uche Ikpeazu?

Read on he other board that Morison is quite keen on him.

Re: Uche Ikpeazu?

We do look a better team with someone physical leading the line, but this guy doesn't have the best record.

Re: Uche Ikpeazu?

Thought his performance down here was a cut above anything I've seen from our forwards this season.

Caused problems, bullied our defenders, the ball stuck to him and he didn't look slow.

One match though against us.
