Assuming that ratio of goals to appearances is the only measure of a striker.
For reference see Emile Heskey. The most valued strike partner of a ballon d'or winner.

You're right, it's a wildly incomplete metric for the vast majority of forwards. Still, I'm not convinced that Keinan's window to become a star isn't rapidly closing, and that he hasn't found his true level.
Mind you, we might have said the same thing about Chuba Akpom a couple of years ago when he was the same age as Keinan is now.

Good luck to them. Unless we have been remarkably unlucky, Manure are a total nightmare to do business with - even their own fans admit that they have previous when it comes to jerking clubs on their chain for weeks. qv our experience with Jimmy Garner (the only one of our Champ loans who I really regret) and now Henderson.

There's a wild assumption that the 'best' players inevitably rise to the top.....but the reality is a bit more complicated than that. There a lot of players whose career is made, or broken, on whether a manager at a particular time fancies them or not, opportunities give, injuries, and to a degree luck.
The eye test tells you that Keinan can do things at a top level. Can he also fit into how a manager wants to play, and keep his fitness. Will he keep his appetite and sharpness after a number of years without it coming together for him?
There are more players with top ability, that have taken the foot off the gas and settled for comfortable professional livings down the pyramid, after disappointment, not being fancied, injury, or a bit of all the above, than there are players with top ability actually at the top. Loads more.

I would still take Keinan. He would do a job. Just got to stay fit.... Which is where it gets sticky...
But if the price is right.. See also Spence (Djed).

Arvin Appiah joins Rotherham on loan.
Jamaal Lascelles may be going to Besiktas. He's still only 29, I wouldn't hate the idea of signing him.
-
Jack Colback scores for QPR at Southampton.
-
Agree re Lascelles.
We really took the pants of that Spanish club down when we got all that dosh for Appiah!

I went to Harborough Town v Walsall Wood yesterday. Lee Tomlin got booked for shouting that the ref was a twat.

Was listening to an old episode of Undr The Cosh today, with Danny Collins. Was quite surprised to hear him talking about his time at Forest, including a spell as club captain, as I have absolutely no recollection of him. Looked him up this evening to remind myself what he looked like. Nope. Nothing. 3 years, 71 appearances with us. No idea.

It’s a defence mechanism to prevent undue psychological damage. My brain refuses to accept that Eugene Dadi or Gary Jones actually existed outside my deranged nightmares
-
Lascelles keeping himself busy
-
Maybe not then.
-
Sounds like it wasn't his fault, a group of lads attacked Jamaal who was out with his brother and a friend, the friend is the one getting his head kicked while on the ground and is still in hospital. Looks like Jamaal tried to stop the fight, got sucker punched, threw one back. Still not a good look for him though.

Bouchalakis has gone to Herta.

They come, they go.
