Callum Marshall has signed for rest of season

Now that one has a lot of promise, hat trick against the Dingles would be a great start, especially with Dike out again 

Awh Gawd..... what's the latest with Dike? Can't find anything, but I bet it's catastrophic - ffs, he's already played 30 odd minutes this season ?‍?

Papers say "Abada has had a better goal-scoring record in Scotland compared to West Brom's Grady Diangana, and his potential arrival could provide a fresh and exciting attacking option for the team"

I don't recall Grady ever playing in Scotland 

I can't say this story has me brimming with excitement, reading most of the pundits it does sound unlikely to happen.  It also reading between the lines, sounds a little as if he 'may' be feeling some effects of the situation in his homeland with Rogers saying he has had "to put his arm around him a bit".  I would also ask is one goal and two assists in eight games in the Scottish leagues anything to write home about.

"A better goal scoring record then Grady"
That's not worth mentioning - Grady averages 3 a season which IMO is a joke.

Sorry that is incorrect in the 4 seasons Grady has been with us he has averaged 6.47 a season, which could be worse when technically he is not a striker, he has 5 already this season.

Just check his games for west ham, when he never scored and then check his record since and you will find he has played for 6.5 seasons and has managed 15 goals. Not 25.

Injured again. Apparently the coach trip back from Aldershot was too much for him. (Newsnow West Brom)

I did not include his West Ham days as I don't see them as relevant as he was still a kid and the vast majority of his appearances were bit parts, he did score a couple in the EFL when he actually started.  But lets remember he is not a striker. I was calculating on a West Brom 'Championship' career average over the past 4 seasons I did make the error of working out the goal/game ratio rather than goal/season, but still of the period I looked at, the past 4 seasons using your goal/season criteria, he is 4 seasons 19 goals or 4.75 goals per season. I think perhaps we need a set criteria to judge by, do we include cup games, how would you account for minutes played. If a player only plays 10 minutes of a game, it still counts as a appearance, so is it fair to judge some ones goal return as if they played the full game? .

Callum Marshall stats are very impressive. I play golf with a West Ham fan and he says the goal score goals for fun and is very impressive.

Google Callum Marshall stats and it looks impressive to me

I just look on Wiki, were debating over a few goals over a few seasons. Wiki shows 15 goals in his whole career. Now this maybe right or wrong as I know wiki is not 100% but it's close enough.
IMO his return for the money he cost is poor. I think we all expected 10 goals a season when he signed.

19 goals in 16 games for West Ham U21’s so far this season and also a N Ireland U21

Final day and at least one if not two loans in could happen (Striker and Winger). Maybe we will also keep ll of our players.........
