The College Dropout Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Holding the ball up should be less of a requirement now the hoof merchants have gone. Arsenal, S'hampton, Chelsea & Bayern all play with target men. It doesn't mean you hoof it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 A no 9 still needs to have good hold up play even with a passing side to allow midfielders and other strikers to get forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 From what I've seen of him he seems far more well rounded than people are giving him credit for. He's strong, has a decent dribble, can play with back to goal and is a good PL goal scorer. Also has that bit of drive and desire from someone who's worked himself up through the league system to get to where he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Thankfully he`s on "England duty" or we`d have to endure endless crap photoshops of him coming out of a Newcastle branch of Nandos / Greggs. Thankful for small mercies! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 We will enquire and we will make an offer which will be turned down...6 months later we will discover our offer was a quater of the price QPR wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Well, fingers crossed with this one. Would be a canny start to the summer to get shot of Carver and Stone, get a full new backroom staff in and then sign a player like Charlie Austin. Like I said though, it's only a start...

He's looked a threat every single time I've put myself through watching a totally shit QPR match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 This guy with Siem De Jong playing off him, and there will be goals for sure. Just need to sign Rapinoe to provide balls into them, and we're having an absolute barrel of laughs out here maaaaaaan!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Also didn't realize he was at Burnley and probably never had the chance to have a partnership with Ings. That would have been fun to see IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
