Remember when a LOT of Leeds fans were gutted Cellino wouldn`t splash a few million on him, good scoring record in the lower league in France, signed for Wigan for a reported near £2.8m, now being loaned back after failing to find the net.
Bullet dodged.
"Wigan's Andy Delort is closing in on a loan move back to former club Tours FC of Ligue 2. Delort has yet to score a goal in the Championship for Wigan this season"

I supported the notion of going for him, as you say he had a decent record of scoring in the lower leagues in France. I even put out a thread about him.
A reason he went to Wigan funnily enough was because he always wanted to play in London...? This particular comment made me reconsider my position, because if he couldn't find somewhere the size of London I rather doubted he would find a small net attached to a couple of posts and a crossbar..!
At least Wigan have realised quickly and rectified the problem. We keep our 'bullet' because he can run down channels and trap a ball whilst working hard...!
I have no problem with Cani coming in like some have. I have more of a problem with us going into a third year of keeping a striker that cannot score.
And I happily hold my hands up and say I championed him. At the time he was a reasonable call.
Would you be so kind as to show us a thread where you have suggested a player that may be a reasonable acquisition to potentially enhance our squad.
Good to see LUFC H'GATE has already written off Cani.
Now't like making a player welcome eh..?
I'd really like to see the thread where anyone wet themselves over Delort Jonty, can you please identify that thread and those comments.

I see humour is alive and well in the States. Nowhere near you sadly, but hey, you have the weather don't you..?
I'm still trying to rack my brain to find a post of yours that folk remember.

My comment was tongue in cheek really, I'll be at Elland Rd Saturday supporting him.

You say bullet dodged, we still ended up with
Bianchi
Doukara
Beradi
Bellucsi
Ajose
Silvestri
We certainly got rewarded for our patience then, now all we need is a good coach.
Cani, can't he.......we're going to have to wait and see.

We usually go in the Paddock, but a pal of mine is buying the tickets and I've not heard where we're seated this week as yet.
I'm hoping to go in the Kop so I can listen to the earthy language.
I am also waiting with bated breath for all the applause whenever a striker traps a ball and the bawdy song when he runs down a channel.
I shall be looking out for Jonty, as he's such a regular.
I'll know him if I sit near him, he'll be the one with the Massimo Cellino effigy and the knitting needle

Whats wrong with Silvestri OK hes not Scnmichael but remember when DE gea first played at MU he had some poor performances now look at him .No for me Silvestri will do well
The rest I agree particularly Ajose and Doukara should be shipped out

I'm not there Saturday, unless there's a late snow flurry in Middleton. A shame as reckon it will be a good game, us with a bit of confidence, and Brentford looking to bounce back from a supposed unfortunate defeat against Boro.
