Dinho lad Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 As a back-up striker, he's done quite well. But I still think he should go in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Lovenkrands is the kind of player you get what you paid for. How much did he cost again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliassenfredrik Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Like the guy. He has been fantastic for us, far surpassing my expectations but both he and Shola have to be moved on and replaced next summer. I have no doubt he former will. Shola we are lumbered with until retirement. http://www.memecenter.com/uploaded/1297a707c22d2bd2cd66a0796e664a757.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I think the main problem with Lovenkrands is he's just not a good footballer. If he's not scoring goals he might as well not be on the pitch, and he generally only scores against Championship standard teams. He contributes nothing, can't hold the ball up and doesn't give defenders any problems whatsoever. He's a poor man's version of Michael Owen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 How will we cope with the loss of such influential personalities? Linchpins, in fact. Hope they all end up at Stevenage, and take them into The Conference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 And Guthrie As well? Would be content having him to fight it out with our youngsters for a place on the bench. In the long term probably not good enough but atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Guthrie is the only one with a chance of staying, due to his wage being the equivalent of ten Mars Bars per week. He's still got to be struggling, though, if Abeid and Vuckic continue to push-on and Cabaye/Tiote don't look like leaving come June. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Isn't Guthrie's 2013? I thought it was those three only from the senior squad this summer - just checked and .com have him down as 2012. They're not infallible by any means, but tend to be pretty decent on this stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Probably right, come to think about it I've heard it mentioned- think we were "set to" offer him a new contract last year with him being out next summer. Would have thought it was a 5 year contract in the style of Colo and Jonas though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I think the main problem with Lovenkrands is he's just not a good footballer. If he's not scoring goals he might as well not be on the pitch, and he generally only scores against Championship standard teams. This. Can't fault the guy for his efforts tbf. Seems like he loves playing for the club and always gives 100% when he plays (unlike another one of our strikers). But just doesn't contribute anything if he isn't scoring.

Tiresias Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I've always found him weirdly likeable even if he's obviously not quite good enough, but not for want of trying really. Our squad is thin so really any backup is welcome for now, but once we've got some reinforcements in should be let go to some championship squad, how long is left on his contract? I don't like letting such players languish on a bench, seems a bit cruel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
