It's quite an interesting question that initially I thought no, but when you take the 2 players separately, their goal tally this season is almost identical and they are of a similar age. So why is one going for 1.75 million quid and the other not reaching the asking price of 500k? (I think I saw it quoted)
12 caps and 3 international goals for Iraq proving he can do it at a higher level already? |

Granted but I'm sure Young could score goals against Jordan, India and Indonesia as well. I just don't get why one is worth 600k and the other 1.7m... |

I’ve forgotten now, but how much was Kasim rumoured to be worth when he was performing for us? Also Iraqi international.
Not sure that level of international player increases a player’s value that much. Way too much of a differential between him and Young.
Presume that fee includes add ons and not a flat fee.

True  hopefully we will get a good fee if any of our players move on now rather than them using "closer to home" as an excuse when they move to a club 25 mins closer  25 minutes closer when it’s open road. Closer to an hour when it’s really busy. (assuming Kinsella is midlands based) |

According to Wiki Al-Hamadi has 31 goals in 71 career appearances compared to 32 in 118 for Young.
Better than 1 in 2 over last couple of seasons for Wimbledon.
Gives the club a benchmark if Glatzel goes mad in the next 18 months or so.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Those stats there are a reason why Young isnt worth the same as this other fella.
Before joining us Young hadn't done much all at, some might regard it just as hot streak while with us (i don't). This other fella has come in and hit the ground running.
McKenna at Ipswich seems the real deal and given his previous job he will have done his homework on the Iraq fella.

The kid fled Saddam Hussain's Iraq and ended up in Toxteth, he'll be pretty mentally resilient I imagine!

Young reminds me of James Collins a little bit, I think he will develop slowly into a Championship/upper L1 player.

Al-Hamadi is also an absolute menace and a nuisance, offers so much more than goals and generally respected and valued much higher by those working within the industry. Striker scouting is well beyond the binary nature of goals scored, as we saw ourselves with Ajose.

Exeter sign a player on loan from a League 2 team
Mo Eisa left Franchise to join Exeter City on loan until the end of the season.

One of their other strikers Leko has also gone to Burton in league 1. I remember the first game of the season both of them tore Wrexham a new one. It doesn't appear to have worked out for either of them at all. |

Yeah, on paper Eisa and Leko looked like they should piss on L2 from a great height.

Gills fans convinced they are about to sign Nahki Wells from the Slavers despite him playing 18 of their 29 games so far this season and scoring last night. He would be on mega wages so that as unlikely as us getting Kemp and Young back IMO.
