Quoted from 123614
I don't know who the researcher was for FM 23 re Pyke, but they have him at 6' 2" and weight as 10st 3lbs!


He's way taller than that, he's bigger than the Findus Stand if you look at his announcement photo on Towns website.

"Pyke in the net."










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

No issue with the signing as I haven't seen him play, however with his record I think we need to be careful with 2 year contracts for players with a fair bit to prove. I think this one perhaps should have been a year, I recall the reason we started giving shorter contracts because we spent a fortune paying players off to leave on far too many occasions

Cotterill praised Pyke for adapting to the wing-back role

So although usually a striker seems he adapted to a situation and did well as a wing back for a short period of time.

Under the radar signing. I trust Hurst so welcome to the club Pyke.

I will go on the Shrewsbury fans view and they seem sad he's leaving .

Another league 1 player , that fans of the club wanted to keep .

That will do me

We are constructing a very good squad for league 2 ,and i might even alter my expectations .

What now needed
2 keepers
A CB
A midfielder
?
Probably all completed with a month before the start of the season .

Excellent preperation and recruitment so far .
Well done to everyone involved .

I'd agree if he was regarded as male masturbation, but the reviews are all positive from fans of clubs he's played for. They recognise he's a very good footballer just being played out of position. Seems to be a player that if he doesn't score, he still leaves his mark on the game.

very mixed reviews here - sounds like they're talking about 2 completely different players!

As I said I welcome the signing, all I said was he perhaps has unfulfilled potential and his career shows that. Just worried about the length of the contract which I think is a pretty valid concern.
