With all due respect but what on earth are you on about?

With all due respect but what on earth are you on about?

He'd be an unbelievable futsal player

Isak looked pretty good in our system like

In general play he can't win headers against defenders. He's scored what 2 goals for us with his head? Probably the same as Bruno this season If you can show me scenes of him holding the ball up front in the Prem against 3 or 4 defenders I'd like to see it

Missed his pen against Bournemouth like

So which of those qualities does he have?

What do you disagree with in my post?

If only football was that simple

Bit of a strawman but I'll bite Because when you're a striker not every ball is played perfectly at your feet. Which is why you need something else to your game. Whether it's good movement, strength, pace, a good leap. Nick doesn't have any of those

I think people have selective memories. He couldn't win a header playing up front If the ball is played perfectly to his feet he's good. If it's not then he's pretty useless at holding the ball up or providing any threat in behind

The two goals from his pressing when he was playing in midfield rather than up front? Pressing up front on your own is miles different to being in a midfield unit

If he's playing up front and got no pace he's going to be spending the majority of his time with his back to goal and fighting off defenders, which doesn't look like his game at all

He made that pass on Saturday from the number 10 position though. If he's playing as a striker he's not in that position to play that pass Osula and Gordon are so much better at pressing than Nick and provide a threat in behind the defenders with their pace at the very least Unless the ball is directly at Nick's feet then he's not much use as he can't run beyond players and can't win headers

The crosses dried up is nonsense, he was never in the box to get on the end of the crosses We literally bring Murphy on and his only job is to cross at every opportunity and Nick was nowhere near them, he'd be hanging back somewhere The other strengths you've mentioned are valuable for a number 10 but not so much as a striker

What are his strengths as a striker?

Agreed he's not an Isak level talent that we're wasting

What's his patter about him? All i can see on his twitter is that we've got 3 strikers who can't score

Now there's a name I've not heard of for a long time. We were definitely linked about 15 years ago

Is this even true? The fans were singing his name last week when he was on the bench. The fans have even tried to serenade Elanga to get him some confidence but he's just shite

And famously didn't know Newcastle had any beaches

He was here for nearly 10 years

What do you mean he was only here for 7 months?

I'm always amazed that people have the time to stalk people's social media and notice any slight changes

Brings a rare bit of control to our play that no one else does. Going to be a sad day when he goes
