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

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

Re: Eammon Brophy being linked
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 :facepalm:

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

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)

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.

Re: Eammon Brophy being linked
Wiki has him down as only 5’9”. A Warnock striker ?
-
Re: Eammon Brophy being linked
Every single report I see says something new about his unsuitability. It's a pity because he's a really good little player, but I don't think he's a fit for us. He seems overall like a lower quality Bobby Reid , and if we want a small poaching style prolific striker, we've already got one of the best in Bobby.
It's frustrating that we don't use Bobby Reid properly, although I understand why, so unless we're going to change our shape I can't see that we need a similar player.
-
Re: Eammon Brophy being linked
There are reports bouncing around all over the place ( albeit the usual WO quoting someone then someone else quoting them and WO re quoting them etc) that we're on the verge of signing this guy, but he's no use to us at all as far as I can see. I hope it's baseless

Scroll down to the poster "jimrv" ...it sounds a bit familiar with some of our past and current strikers.
