Sifu Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 What's his goalscoring record like? 1 goal in 4 games for us... canny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 What's his goalscoring record like? Is this one of the questions you ask where you already know the answer? No. Ah right, fair enough It's not good FWIW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 If we are playing 4-3-3 than Ba would be the lone striker so the expectation of goals in quantity would be on him. The other forwards would be expected to chip in and HBA would get his share I would think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I don't think there's a record of his goals to games stats playing as a second striker tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Mimi says he could do it (10 goals) and more, so that's good enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 What Baggio said, what was Bellamy's like foe us (honest question) it wasn't all that impressive was it? HBA as the main man given the freedom to do what he likes as the '10' I reckon although not prolific he will get his fair share with his pace, movement and that left peg.

Definitely, if I ever get into a bookies and ask for a price.. what do you reckon it might be 10-1, 8-1? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Reckon Ben Arfa could quite easily get double figures. He's got a decent amount of goals taking into consideration his infrequent starting and being played on the wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Why do people keep ignoring Ben Arfa when talking about our forwards? Because he is not a traditional forward and for the most part, in this context, people are thinking 'strikers'. But yeah, Barfa is going to be immense for us I am sure. Cabaye, Tiote, Barton, Ben Arfa & Ba, plus one of Marveaux & Jonas will make up out first-choice front 6 going by Pardew's comments. Could probably see us go for Long ahead of Erding anyway now because I reckon Long would be more inclined to wait for his chance in the first-team, plus lower wages, than Erding who would no doubt expect first-team football from the start in which case I can't see a role.

I keep wondering if Jonas is being considered for a switch to the right, or at least considered as a versatile option. Could never understand the papers keep coming out with us looking at left mids when we have so many for that position, but right mid is thin as fuck.

Ronaldo Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Said it before but Jonas's work rate would be good for Simpson. You'd have two players on one side who can't go outside and whip a cross in. Our standards should be way higher than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
