BrettNUFC Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Cisse's scored 22 goals in 55 games in the Prem since arriving. Long has scored 19 goals in 81 games in Prem for West Brom. Massive difference really. Especially when you consider Long had previous experience with Reading in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Not bothered about him leaving as long as we replace him with someone who is at least a threat. My opinion of him as a football went down very quickly, his decline has been shocking and I think change is best for both parties now. Shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's often been used a substitute too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 60 starts out of the 81...i know he's not known for his goalscoring, i just think he's overrated on this board. He's average, he'll work hard for the team, has pace and will chip in with a few goals. Around 6 million pound for him? Not for me, I'd take Cisse everytime.

Unbelievable Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Not sure how Shane Long came up, but whilst I like him as a player, there's nothing he can do that someone like Gouffran can't. We need a better long term solution than both Cisse and Long to lead the line for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just described Craig Bellamy before he signed for us I was never a Bellamy fan, even back when he played for us. However i can't deny what a huge impact he had on us, was a perfect fold for Shearer. Saying this Long is nowhere near as good as Bellamy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Key differences..... 1. Bellamy was 22 when he signed for us and Long is 27. 2. Long has never been the all round player Bellamy was. Another reason why goals is such an important point is we don't have Shearer to score 20+ without blinking anymore, so its much more important to score at least double figures now than it was then. ( not to mention the midfield shits all over the current one) Long is an average mid table player, which is why he's gone to Hull. If you want to improve above 8th place you don't buy players from the bottom half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellamy and Dyer in 2001/02 Don't get me wrong i appreciated what a huge player he was in our side and how much he aided Shearer. I was just never fan of his overall ability. He used to miss chance and chance, his finishing really pissed me off but the amount of goals Shearer scored on the back of Bellamy's pace was brilliant. Was an excellent partnership. What mainly got me more was the fact I loved Robert the most in our side whilst my mate I went with hated Robert but then Bellamy was he favourite. So we used to always wind each other up over Robert/Bellamy. Fantastic side, great memories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 And the fact at Ewood Park he walked past the Newcastle fans in his cocky manner then kissed the Blackburn badge at us. c***. I was never his biggest fan but appreciated what he had done here then he does stuff like that which make me think he's an even bigger c*** than i first thought.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Would have fitted right in with this current mindset of the club. Remember losing at Wolves in the FA Cup 3rd Round and him walking off grinning pointing to the Premier League badge, "that's what it's about".
