Is ugbo good? Is this a loan or a perm do you know?

[roverandout]

Underwhelming 

[Tom]

If Ike Ugbo signs have we ever had a player with a shorter name (only counting those with at least a first and surname)

Never seen him play — I’ve asked if it’s loan or perm.

never seen him play,he`s had a lot of clubs considering he`s only 24😏

[islander200]

If it is Ugbo him hope he can improve on his 1 goal in 14 games this season.Think it was a penalty aswell 

Scraping the barrel....we can't land any of our targets so feeding off the bones agents are offering to us

Il have to have a quick watch on the old YouTube haha  

[CambridgeRover]

He only moved to Troyes last August so unless they need to move him on it is almost certainly a loan

Agree this has come from inside the club

Good to see us moving for a striker. Don't know anything about him, his goal scoring record (purely looking at numbers) looks a tad underwhelming but hopefully he has more about him than Gallagher.

To be fair the last time he had consistent minutes he has 16 in 32 and 13 in 28. Seems to have had a torrid time at Troyes

Comes across as another desperation signing. Similar to hirst.  This window has been worse than last January's window

He has to be better than Gally & Vale so it will do for now.

Wait ugbo played for scunny? I'm from here and I didn't even know that 😂

From YT (yes I know) he seems to have a bit of pace coupled with decent looking strength, hopefully he picks up form while here.

Went to the world cup with Canada didn't he? Apparently highly thought of or was 

[AllRoverAsia]

Let's hope this one passes his medical

For now isn't the right time. For now would be if we were a midtable team with no hope of going up or down not a side that's in and around the play offs having effed up the same position last season.  That's also on the slide in need of better fire power.

According to Google he’s likely to land at Manchester at 11:50 tomorrow… so we should know by 4pm!

People love to say this sort of thing, but no, he doesn't have to be better than them.

Considering We are 2 days away from the window closing then it’s probably the best we can do. Other championship clubs were looking at him so he must have something in him. I see more potential than hirst but of course we will see.

Truly desperate Stuff . Age 24, never played for parent Club Chelsea - been to seven different Clubs on loan throughout his career. One goal in thirteen in Ligue 1 this season. Career total of 4 In 46 in England.

That would be two strikers brought in this season who have no idea where the back of the net is at this level. Is that Greg's key criteria for bringing someone in?
