Re: Max Watters

Wasn’t his signing done by Dalman with no involvement from the manager ?
I seem to recall Dalman stating that Cardiff should be trying to sign lower league players at smaller costs and take a gamble.
This didn’t pay off

Re: Max Watters

Andy Campbell scored 7 in 10 games for us in 2001/02 when he first arrived from Boro. He followed that up with 7 goals in 40 appearances the season after and then was utterly useless in the Championship when we were promoted.

I have often wondered over how long a scoring streak do clubs judge a striker. I assume that clubs are so desperate that someone will always take a punt but what is the minimum number of games to genuinely tell if a striker is any good or not?

Watters at MK Dons and Campbell during his loan here were relatively short and neither could maintain any sort of goal scoring consistency. And didn’t Zohore have a purple patch when he was banging them in which I’m sure contributed to West Brom amazingly forking out £8m for him, when we all knew the truth?

I suppose the longer the run the greater the likelihood of another club making a bid.
