Do those stats suggest that he struggles at the very highest level or perhaps that he thrives more as a big fish in a smaller pond rather than the other way round? If so we could be just the right level for him to get back to his best.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Give me Slimani over Ramos but time will tell i guess.

If we're going to be spending this amount i'd rather us just get Austin (or Rhodes).

In Parish we trust !

There are an equal number of examples who prove the opposite (Oscar, Diego Costa, Alexis Sanchez.) One thing I would say is that for a lesser-known player, I am much more comfortable with them coming from success in the Bundesliga than Italy or Spain, which is the case with Ramos, as the pace and style of the football there is more similar to ours than the more languid, laconic pace of the Mediterranean leagues and the Prem is therefore less of an adjustment. And last season aside, when there were extenuating circumstances at Dortmund, Ramos' record in Germany is impressive (the simple fact that Dortmund felt he COULD replace Lewandowski speaks volumes.)

If Parish and Pards think he's the man that's good enough for me. TBH, I shudder at the number of people here who'd be prepared to spunk 14 million quid on Jordan Rhodes, a Championship footballer not a single other Premier League team has seen fit to make a serious bid for over the past two years (does no one else think there's not a reason for that?) If you learn nothing else from the Dwight Gayle experience, it's surely just how difficult a leap it is to make. To spend over 10 million quid on any Championship player is both laughable and idiotic.
