He always struck me as being really flukey for the season he was in the Championship which judging by his Premiership record was probably the case, maybe he would score consistantly at this level but i'm not convinced!

[qprsouth]

robert on a 2 year deal + chopra=30 goals between them...cost including wages over 2 years 7 million...that gets us up...7 million to earn 90 million..no brainer...

Think he is better than what we've got, although I really think we have one of the poorest forward lines in the division.

None of them are remotely dangerous.

[BennyBoyRs]

I don't think Scotland is as good as some feel, but he's a massive improvement in what we've got, and that's what we need.

Sign him up.

[ZANNEYQPR]

he reminds me of kenweyne jones strong scores very good in the air imo with with the right severs he'll score loads he was playing for swansea ffs they don't really score many goals.

[norfolk ranger]

think scotland would be a very good signing,hope there is some truth in this as we desperately need some goalscorers & he is one.

[hogbag]

Scotland had a fantastic record for Swansea - averaged 1 goal in 2. Hope its true.

I suspect he'd do very well for us. Over the last few seasons creating chances hasn't been an issue, putting them in the net has. 45 goals in 90 games for Swansea is a phenomenal return even if half of those were in League 1. From seeing him when he was at Swansea, he didn't seem to have that much pace, but get the ball to him in the box and he had the knack of creating space to score. Its all dried up at Wigan, but maybe like a lot of top Championship strikers he's not good enough to cut it against Premiership defenders.

The game is getting us out of the Championship, I'm not sure that investing £5M or whatever ridiculous figure Cardiff would want for Chopra would represent any sort of value, for a striker who has proved he can't cut it in the Premiership. The only sort of striker we will get who might also make it in the Premiership is a young unproven one with potential. Better picking up old lags who have proved their worth in the Championship at reasonable fees to try to get us up.

Meanwhile...

Marlon King is still available.....

Jason Scotland is 31. Likely on similar wages to Jason Roberts. I think we would be much better off buying someone younger with upside. he's also only 5 ft 8, so once his pace goes, what's he got left?

Luke Varney has a fair record at this level, is 27, and will command lower wages that someone stepping down from the prem.

Jay Simpson, based on last year's form, looks a good bet, and still has some upside. if he got 12 goals last year, surely one could expect 15+ this year.

[nuffieldranger]

he will be playing for glasgow rangers next week then
