Not sure why we're looking at David Browne's goalscoring stats. He's just a good player worth taking a look at, not a 'Krishna replacement'.
I'll play. If you are analysing whether a player can step up to the next level then you should look and see if he has the same impact at the highest level he has played at rather than just having an impact vs the also rans (sorry Special One).
I think I agree with News here. From what I understand he is a forward so its fair you would look at the stats that are expected as a forward and then to analyse you need to look at context behind the stats. Goals is a great stat but Goals against opposition provides context to analyse the potential there, the fact he was not scoring against top opposition does not indicate he is ready for a step up (As the opposition would be a higher standard), I dont think anyone is saying he is a Krishna replacement but is it worth an import slot to us when we have already signed a better squad forward from the Prem (McCowatt) and a Better squad forward from the league (Sotirio)??
If Browne was McCowatt level fair to be looking at him but from what I understand he isnt there
Better than McCowatt - his role at ACFC was far more creative and he was never the one putting the goals in the back of the net (barely took any shots at all, and played very wide most games, hugging the sideline and taking it upon himself to start attacks). His playstyle reminds me of Hazard, it's clear he has a technical talent above anyone else in the league. There's a reason he made Eredivisie matchday squads at 20 years old.
But then again he'd be an import... worth a trial and not an immediate import slot, because as you say there's no telling how well he'd step up against bigger opposition, and he was shut down rather easily in games against better opposition like TW. Personally wouldn't sign him unless we were in a pickle
