Guest neesy111 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Getting rid of Shola should be the least of our priorities. He's a good backup for Carroll, we know need to fill the 2nd striker hole which we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I've come to terms with the fact he'll be here forever. You all should too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Lövenkrands and Best needs to go way before Shola goals. I'm sorry but Lovenkrands is awful and Best just look like a one-game wonder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 He's been pretty rubbish for the most part. Are we going to spend the money it would cost to bring in a significantly better forward though? The sort of budget Pardew seems to be working with I don't see it happening. We'll just end up with another Best or Lovenkrands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkhead Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 yep, Lové should go.. You can see he's a determined guy and he's trying very hard but his overall game leaves a lot to be desired and he's not clinical enough for that role.. we must try to cash in before his value drops completely.

TRon Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Lovenkrands is the only quick (sort of) striker we have though. It might have been worth giving Routledge a run up front in light of Richardson's goals for the mackems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see him getting in behind defenders like you would expect a pacey striker to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Shola is f***ing crap but, unfortunately, so are the rest of them apart from Carroll and Ranger. Ranger is significantly worse than Shola in all honesty. Best and Xisco have never really gotten started here, but Lovenkrands is definitely a nothing footballer.

In what ways exactly? Shola effectively offers negative contribution every time he touches the ball. Xisco is as good as dead. Granted, we don't know much about Best. Even if we disregard the 'potential' factor of Ranger I'd rather he played than Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Shola's general intelligence, movement, and understanding of this game places him far above whatever Ranger has to offer at this time. Ameobi is an experienced campaigner who can and will score goals for this club long into the future. Ranger is a child who specialises in chasing lost causes and rarely scoring. He has potential, but he is not the better player in January 2011. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the ball he randomly pinged into the air towards Spurs goal near the end of the game is very good evidence of him lacking these qualities. In fact, are you joking?

johnnypd Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Shola is the better player atm, he knows where the goal is, has physical presence and generally makes decent decisions when on the ball. on the downside his touch and finishing are both haphazard at the best of times and he fucks up as many attacks as he helps. he also has around half a dozen good games a season and is crap for the rest. Ranger is still a few years away from being a premiership player and it is only our lack of quality up-front that seems to have prevented him from going out on loan.

What's so controversial? Baba never said he possesses any of those qualities to a particularly high level, but he does all of them more successfully than Ranger, which is true.
