This is the Best thread, I've ever been in, dududu dududu

[Guest BooBoo]

I'd like to see Best given a go, even off the bench. He was a whipping boy last year but I saw enough in him to suggest he'll be no worse than the out of form version of Shola that's performing at the moment.

If that shot against Plymouth was an inch lower he'd have scored a fantastic first goal. Why write a player off who's still on the wage bill?

Personally just not pinning my hopes on the guy, only to be enraged two weeks later if he misses game winning sitters.

[Liam Liam Liam O]

We probably could have got Beckford and Moses for a combined 6 million quid and sold Carroll to Wolves/Stoke for 4 million quid.

 

Net outlay of 2 million..................................chicken feed in this day and age, even for Ashley

 

We have made soooooooooooooooooo many mistakes here.

 

Reckon we could still do this?

An inch lower and he'd have bagged a winner at Bristol City. Twas a tremendous header.

[Ronaldo]

Aye, from a Carroll cross. Would've been a lovely goal.

[Mick]

If you're talking about Raylor's goals against Coventry and Preston, you need to rewatch or purchase a new pair of specs.

 

Not that i'm saying he's a good finisher, because i've seen no real evidence of that.

 

I think you need the glasses. 

[Foluwashola]

Absolute shower of shit.

 

Always has been, always will be.

Keeper saved that one didn't he? Did the keeper get a touch on the raker at plymouth as well?

 

Kid needs a run in the team and desperately needs a goal. One in off his knee or his arse to get him up and running and he'll do a job for us and you can bookmark this.

We should get him Andreas Andersson's top 4 goals for the Toon video!

top?

[Guest ObiChrisKenobi]

Shhh you'll shatter his confidence, they were all 'quality goals', even the one that bounced in off his arse.

Top 1 being the goal he scored at Old Trafford against man united.

[Pilko]

He fluffed a really easy header on his debut against Cardiff at home. I think that may have been the start of his confidence being shot. Guy in the Gallowgate jokingly shouted "geddim sold!" after the headed miss (think we were 2-0 up) and we all laughed.

 

Oh, I feel silly for laughing now. Still, would like to see the guy get a chance ahead of Lovenkrands and probably Shola who looks about 80% fit and off the boil.

What you've said could be true, it could be true about ony of our players, I haven't seen anything in Best to make me think it'll happen and he's done nothing to deserve getting a game ahead of anybody else.

That the one that turned out to be offside? That was the worst header I've EVER seen

[Pilko]

It was one of those when you expected the net to bulge and he ended up heading it closer to corner flag than goal. Dunno about it being offside like, it was the other end of the ground to me. Even if it was offside and it went in, I reckon he might have scored last season at some point.

[Cajun]

He was written off before he even started by a few.

 

I don't think he is ever going to be anything more than decent, at best (excuse the pun) but he could do with a chance. He was nowhere near as bad as some made out, got in some good positions and as others said was really unlucky with a couple of quality efforts.

 

Was looking much better in pre season, was scoring and looking dangerous. Very unlucky to get the injury.

 

Also I am still not of the belief that just because you have already been playing in the same country you will instantly settle at a new club and I also don't believe going to a club that is dominating guarantees to make it easier, especially when one of the strikers is just starting to look a real star.

 

Honest opinion, probably won't make it but his chance should start this season and anything before isn't really valid. As said this is just my opinion and I realise others will want to rely on what they have seen at Coventry and the limited showings for us last season.

Me, he was never going to be good enough.

 

But if he's fit i'd rather see ihm start over Ameobi who's offering nothing ATM.

[Alberto2005]

I think the one you can say is that you can always releon on him doing his Best.

 

 

[Dave]

He's absolutely shite.

 

Just a terrible, terrible signing if this is true.

 

I'd easily rate every one of our current strikers above him.

Quite a lot of people were also more than prepared to give him a chance, but it was obvious fairly quickly once he'd made a few appearances that he simply wasn't very good. 

 

A bit like Perch, a lower league gamble that hasn't paid off.  No fault of his own, but he just doesn't look good enough.

[Ronaldo]

As opposed to Shola and Lovenkrands, who've proved over a decade that they're not good enough for this level of football.

Conclusion

 

We need a centre forward.
