The College Dropout Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Aye but then at Liverpool he signed Torres, at Napoli he signed Higuain, no idea if he signed any at Inter but those 3 are all very different strikers. I think those are the exception though. In terms of overall quality those were the best players he could've signed at those clubs even in terms of reputation. He also signed Robbie Keane and Bellamy after tremendous seasons and used them in different ways to their previous clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but my point is - he can see talent when it's there unlike a Pardew. I don't think Torres or Higuain or his "type" of striker but he realised they are the best he could get.

NUFC Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 First touch is average, can't hold off defenders, doesn't score Why did we buy him again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 He's so far out of his depth it's a fucking joke, like. Grade A pussy with not a clue how to play the striker role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DonaldGrump Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I am afraid this lad is a Serbian Shola and sadly it is this level of striker that will be the main reason we go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Really think he's not the main problem behind his lack of scoring. The movement around him has been horrible all season, even tonight there was very little movement around him when he picked down long balls. If there existed some forward momentum when he pulls them down he could get the ball back in better position and get to finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Must have imagined the umpteen times he won the ball in the air up against two CBs and got it to team mate, granted he never got into positions to score really but tonight isn't really the night where you can say he was bullied.

Hughesy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Actually thought he did relatively well tonight against Huth and Morgan. No idea why he passed that cross to De Jong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just doesn't have a clue to score goals. Obviously the wider problems run far, far deeper and we've discussed them to death - but putting all of our eggs in this basket is one of the main reasons we're at the bottom. Just has absolutely no striker's instinct whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I think people are being way too harsh on this fella. His hold up play was very good but he never looks like scoring. If we signed a goalscorer and not having to rely on hom for goals he could be good. Never thought I would miss cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 When this mug is your main striker it's obvious that you're going to struggle. Graham Carr should be fucked right off for recommending this cunt at £15 mill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, he wins the ball and holds it up it in non-dangerous areas. In the penalty area he doesn't actually create any assists or finish.

NUFC Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 For his height/build his hold up isn't really that good. He gets pushed off the ball by defenders far too easily and seems scared to attack the ball from crosses/corners Shearer was much better at it at his age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Carr should be fucked right off for recommending this cunt at £15 mill. I'm sure you'll get his usual apologia-brigade turning up to defend him, but if he'd simply put away only one or two of the glaring chances he's missed this season, we'd be staying up. Yes, we all know he's young, never should've been made our main striker, blah, blah, but fact remains that his signing by Carr is one of the reason we'll be going down this year. Fucking unbelievable. I feel for the lad, but fucking hopeless in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
