Cajun Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Him scoring 15 the season beforehand id imagine. They obviously think theyll get the best out of him by fitting a player of his nature in the system theyre imagining, so are probably hoping he'll better that also. only done it once though. losing nolan and carrolls goals and replacing them with Ba and Erdinc. not saying they cant replace them, but neither have as good strikerates as those 2, and even with Carroll and Nolan we needed further striking options. The loss of oNolan is looking worse every day How does Ba not have as good a strike rate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Mainly because he only joined the PL in January, of course.) Could be the next Amr Zaki for all we know. (Hopefully not! ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I know what you mean but he has done it at every club he has been at. I don't he is much less proven than Carroll in the premier league. He scored all sorts of goals too so that's a good sign imo. But yeah, the statement was neither have as good strike rates as Carroll and Nolan which isn't correct, it's not Ba's fault he only had 11 games in the premier league so far but even that short spell and his previus clubs says his strike rate is as good as theirs.

The loss of oNolan is looking worse every day Erdincs strike rate for his last 4 seasons in the top flight is much better than Nolans. Carroll will be hard to replace, but we're probably replacing him with two good strikers in Ba and Erdinc if we get him also. Nolan is being covered by Cabaye really & Ben Arfa if people will stop tryna cripple the poor fella. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Ba's a very good player, he'll surprise many. Very talented and very versatile in that he has a lot of assets in all areas of attack. Tall, quick, strong, intelligent, good finisher and will add a lot to general play both on and off the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 If we do sign him, hopefully we can get some decent pre-season into him as he and Ba will need to hit the ground running giving the HBA injury, still doubtful (although I've not seen him) if he is the type of player we need mind.

ujpest doza Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Not that I think Shola is behind Best in the striking order, but either way Shola will get plenty of minutes on the pitch over the course of the season I am sure.

TRon Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Why is Luke being such a pain in the arse? wasn't it yesterday that Douglas was tweeting about unbelievable stuff going on in the unhappy NUFC camp in the States on the basis of what Brenner from the Sun was leaking?

It's all relative ffs, if we were genuinely on the bare bones of our arse then that would be absolutely outstanding. We've brought in £39m worth of fees since January and spent £4.6m, roughly £10m should we get Erding. That's shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Until they're sold, we're stuck with them. Can you see Ashley justifying signing more players and having the likes of Smith and Perch on the books but not registered? Harper, Krul, Forster R.Taylor, S.Taylor, Coloccini, Enrique, Williamson, Simpson, Perch Ben Arfa, Jonas, Marveaux, Cabaye, Barton, Guthrie, Tiote, Routledge, Smith Ba, Erding, Ameobi, Xisco, Lovenkrands, Best Unfortunately until the likes of Routledge, Smith & Xisco definitely leave, we have no space.
