Cajun Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Like a Darren Bent but one who can work with a partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 He will spend some of the season injured, we knew this when we purchased him (hence the contract he's on), but completely worth the risk at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniatmoko Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 yep has quality of Darren Bent.... but he was free... real bargain... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Never a bargain, we all know that with agent fees, signing-on fees, goal bonuses, appearance fees, he's already cost the club £43.5m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Horrible finish for the goal today like! I disagree, if he'd gone for the corner the keeper would have saved it. He scored because the keeper was already diving and Ba put the ball where the keeper couldn't make a clean save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Really happy he seems to have found his feet a bit with us, looking better and better now. Long may it continue! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Took his goal very well, and general play was great. Very impressed. Yup. Seems to have really found his form now. Everything about him impresses me. I know it's early days, but I think I'd rather have him than Carroll, simply because his movement's better and he's got more pace about him. Also, he scores goals. Five times as many as Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'm sure (hope) Ian W was being sarcastic. Anyway we really have a goalscorer on our hands. There were fears at the start of the season that we needed to put them on a plate for him but if West Ham could I was confident we would be able to. 5 in 5 is a great start and I really think he will get fucking loads for us, I just feel confident when he is on the pitch we have a goal in us. He has absolutely brilliant movement in the box, today was just a simple tap in but that's ignoring his anticipation to make the space and get into a position the defence weren't covering, a lot of that stuff goes ignored imo. Played a good part before the goal too which a lot mentioned here. We really have picked up someone who should have been out of our price range based on an apparent exploding knee, can't be arsed to look it up again but his game per season ratio was actually not bad of his career, something like 32 games a season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Was great today,got out wide and dropped deep too,caused them problems all over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I wasn't being sarcastic, it was a horrible finish, he miss hit it and hit it straight at the keeper. Obviously it didn't make any difference, and it was almost impossible to miss, that's why I thought it was OK to point it out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Great performance yesterday. Looking a lot more confident - I think 15 league goals is certainly a realistic target for him the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 He was sliding in trying to get anything on it, did and the keeper couldn't keep it out. A horrible finish would be putting it wide or over which better players have some how managed to do from positions like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant he didn't strike it cleanly - obviously he did what he needed to do. I wasn't criticising him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnson293 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Funniest bit about the goal for me, was Friedels reaction. The ball gets stuck between his knees and he slides in the net with it, then he sits holding the ball, very clearly inside the net, but then he appears to think no-one might have seen it and then moves the ball back outside/over the line, almost in some vein attempt to claim it hadn't gone in.

Yorkie Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I've just got a daft feeling he's gonna score absolutely fucking shitloads for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Six goals from his next 14 games and he's justifying a £35m bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
