Ok, I’m going to use another tactic.
Please can someone tell me what they feel Pigott adds and how the fuck someone can put a value of half a million (bearing in mind the fee paid for Bishop) on a player who has a one in ten goals to games ratio over the last two seasons. He joined Ipswich on a free and then failed dismally and apart from a recent competent bit part role, has failed at Pompey too.
I really am interested to know what he does, apart from add a bit of height in a two man attack. An attack that leaves Bishop trying to do all the running around instead of doing what he does best.
He hasn't done much yet for us admittedly, although his goals per minutes on the pitch return is actually quite good.
Buying him would be a gamble that he can return to being the very good player we all saw at Wimbledon. That is the player who is worth 500k. And there's absolutely no reason why he can't become that player again givent he opportunity that he has not had since signing for Ipswich.
I remember Whittingham's commentary of one of our games at Wimbledon when despairing at the bad positioning of Marquis he said we needed a player with the intelligence being shown by Pigott.
