Guest Heneage Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 He's the one player that if I saw on the street I would actually be tempted to hurl abuse at, he just doesn't even try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 He's the one player that if I saw on the street I would actually be tempted to hurl abuse at, he just doesn't even try. Exactly. Look at Kuyt at Liverpool. OK, he's miles better than Shola but for someone like Dirk Kuyt to be playing for Liverpool is ridiculous, imo, he's way out of his depth. But to compensate for his lack of ability he run himself into the ground. For that, you can forgive someone for their lack of talent. This is not the case with Shola.

Cajun Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Scary as it is I think Shola gives his all, as shown by playing whilst injured numerous times. He just isn't clever enough to know what he should be doing and when therefore looks like he isn't trying. In short, he is shit but has his (slow beating) heart in the right place.

midds Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Just a waste of a shirt. Does nothing (other than stays fit) to justify his place in the team. There's far more players deserving of a start than he does. Absolute dogshit almost every single time he plays. Even in his 'good' games he's still poor.

Nah, on the pitch he clearly doesn't. Indeed you can't knock his professionalism in being willing to play even when injured and I'm sure he thinks he's going to do all he can. But once he's out there he seems to just become fed up or something and in some phases of play doesn't even try. He certainly loves to have a moan too. Add to that the fact he is footballingly mentally deficient... not good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Not sticking up for Shola or the "management" (f***ing morons) but if Carroll was only half fit I don't think we should have gambled. Lovenkrands could and should have played through the middle and LuaLua should have started on the wing. LuaLua is a kid but I'd rather have a kid in his proper position than Shola anywhere near our starting 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Put in a couple of passable shifts, got his new contract and now looks like he couldn't give a fuck. His life is set up for the next 3 years and probably many years after that if he's been looking after his money, he doesn't have to push himself just do the bare minimum.

chicago_shearer Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 At the end of this season can someone please just tear up his contract. Forget trying to sell him, just sack him. Pay the money, do whatever it takes. Don't give him a choice. We could sign 4 or 5 of the world's greatest strikers this summer, but so long as Shola Ameobi is on the books he will find a way to get in the team. If he is here, he will play. An outbreak of polio affecting all strikers but him, something, some cruel joke will occur that forces us to fall back on Shola. The man is a bad habit, the packet of cigarettes in the kitchen drawer that you will always return to when times are hard unless you flush them down the toilet. That is what needs to happen. Shola needs to be flushed from the club, association ended, gone, free to score against us as all former players do when we have an FA Cup tie against Yeovil or Swindon - wherever he ends up next.

Exactly. It is a cliche thats easy to use, but he clearly dosetn give a crap. It is NOT a 'style of play'. It is a total lack of application & effort. I defended him after 3, 4 years when people were starting to get on his back then, but this crossed the line a long time ago. Its really like some kind of sick joke. If he had any ambition he'd have left long before now & got first team football in the Championship or whenever. And its a total, utter disgrace & shambles the management keep on playing him. Words dont do it justice, they really dont. They do not compound how shambolic it is to keep playing him, and his attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
