alexthegreat Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Looks to me that if he comes off the bench when everyone else has been playing for an hour he can get out of the centre and into the space between the centre half and the full back and do a bit of damage. If he's playing from the start then he will only go out there to trip over the ball or give away a free kick. It was 6 years ago that he had the hip injury that nearly ended his career. He hasn't been able to manage 3 games in a row since then (didn't he fail a medical for WBA?) yet we are still rolling him out to play centre forward in the premier league. He looked absolutely shot after about 25 mins on Wednesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malandro Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 It's over 12 years since Shola made his debut for NUFC and he's never been better than distinctly average. It's absurd that he's managed to spend an entire career at SJP. Most players of his ability have to move around the country from club to club to see out a long career, Shola has somehow managed to coast his way through twelve years at NUFC, never had to step outside his comfort zone. I've never heard anybody say a bad word about him as a person and he's struggled with injuries, but I'm sick of the sight of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 You wouldn't get anyone better as a third/fourth choice striker who would be happy being backup for this long, right now he's up the pecking order but as long as we get another forward in by the end of the window it'll be fine.

Guest malandro Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Alternatively you could argue he's been blocking the path of youth team strikers at the club for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 As you can tell from our swathes of youngsters who have had to go on elsewhere then become top strikers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 He's not even good enough as a third choice, he's injured far too often and isn't capable of playing a good 90 minuted. A third choice chould be capable of putting 90 minutes in when needed and he's not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malandro Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 As you can tell from our swathes of youngsters who have had to go on elsewhere then become top strikers Fair point. The utter shitness of our youth system (in all positions) can't be ignored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hoping the next batch go some way to change that. Really have high hopes for Bigi. Sammy and Ferguson have a decent chance. Good?? Then Campbell, Streete, Satka, Inman, Dummett. 2-3 of those actually make it and it's a success for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 He should never start a game for this club again, at any level. Agreed. Not even his own testimonial. Just seen this LMAO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 If football was a standing still sport, he'd be fine. Unfortunately, its the movement that confuses him. He's a non-entity these days.
