Rich Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Anichebe is shaping up nicely with 21 in 147, he was the first that sprung to mind. Not sure there's anyone on Shola's level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Can anyone name a 1 in 7ish striker that has managed to get to nearly 300 Premier League appearances? Shola Ameobi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that Anichebe was that bad like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 How many of those 147 appearances are as sub though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 How many of Shola's near-300 are? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 half of Shola's are as sub, which would make him a 1 in 3.5 if you were a massive liar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 53% of total career appearances for Anichebe, if Soccerway is right. Very similar records at the top level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Anichebe will have more assists and generally looks mildly useful. He is basically a younger Ameobi, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 http://www.nufc.com/2013-14html/2014-04-19swansea-h.html Shola Ameobi's goal was the 78th of his SJP career and the 42nd in the Premier League - the 41st arriving way back in December 2012 against QPR at the Leazes end. This latest goal moved him up to fourth in the club's all-time Premier League goalscorers list: 1. Alan Shearer 148 2. Peter Beardsley 46 3. Andy Cole 43 4. Shola Ameobi 42 5. Les Ferdinand 41 Laughable, that. 42 in ~290 games. 4 less than Beardsley, a second striker then midfielder who got 46 in ~130 games 1 less than Cole who got 42 in 58 games 1 more than Ferdinand who got 41 in 68 games As a professional he's a joke, but the jokes on us and he's the only one laughing. Clearly not a good record... but how many of those are sub appearances? That must skew the stats a fair bit. EDIT - just seen this has been answered..

bovineblue Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Can't believe the stick this club legend gets on here. Last game he scored more goals than the rest of the team put together. If we had 11 Shola's we would have (theoretically) won comfortably 11-2. Clearly deserves more game time and a new 5 year contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 That article says absolutely nowt tbf. Pretty confident he won't be a member of our playing staff next season. Wouldn't be averse to him staying at the club in some capacity like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 “There's a lot going on at the moment, and things are pretty tense. We have to make sure we don't let this season fizzle out" Fizzle out? We've lost 12 of the last 17 (?), scored 3 goals at home this year and are competing with Stoke and Crystal Palace for 9th or 10th place. It's dead already.

LRD Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Cisse's injury, Remy's impending departure and de Jong's non-performances have increased his chances of staying like. Prepare yourselves mentally, lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think it's dead certain he will get a new one year deal. No way will we be able to bring in suffcient replacements for Remy and De Jong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think it's dead certain he will get a new one year deal. No way will we be able to bring in suffcient replacements for Remy and De Jong. There's no reason why we wouldn't be able. We stand to post a bumper profit, taking our cumulative profit for the past 4 years close to 100m. We won't however, by choice, which is entirely different.
