BONTEMPI Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 He's more Na than Ba at the moment. Seemed better when he pulled out wide left for a bit, but only briefly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Not comparing them AT ALL, however Torres for Chelsea was also shite and he also wasn't settling in to a new league. Just saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 On 25/08/2011 at 20:16, Dave said: Very early days, but considering he already has a headstart regarding adapting to football in this country and has had a full pre-season under his belt I'd have expected much more, free transfer or otherwise. Poor service from teammates is one thing, but there's little excuse for a wank touch, lack of awareness, bad passing and little to no goal threat, culminating in Pardew hauling him off early in two games and not even playing him in the other. Replacement for Carroll? Unconvinced to say the least so far. Hope things pick up very soon considering our ongoing striker 'search'. He's got more chance of replacing Carol in Eastenders. he's been guff so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 People payed top notch money to be in top form shouldn't put religion on top of their career. Ramadan is no excuse to not beeing able to run at all. He was shit, had no speed, nor work rate. What's up with him? He was a much better player at West Ham, bet he has been better wherever he has been... When does ramadan end anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Really hoping this fasting for Ramadan thing is a factor, otherwise it's a real worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Looking like it's all a bit much for him, at the moment. Hope he pulls through, needs to find it mentally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I thought he linked up alright, it was his first touch and lack of sharpness in front of goal that let him down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Would try him off the bench in the next few games. Doesnt look like the Ba who played for West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ramadan ends on September 1 lads. And by the way, I doubt Ramadan had an effect on his performance today since it was well past the hour where you can break your fast (you can eat and drink) when the match started. Not too worried just yet, early days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
