Guest neesy111 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Not being able to run is as big a deficiency as his poor finishing IMO Whoever on our scouting team that thought he'd be a good fit for the PL needs shooting at dawn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 He's not an athlete, like. That's his biggest weakness and it'll always prevent him for being a top player. That and the fact he couldn't hit a barn door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 He's not shite, far from it, but he's not we need then or at any time since unfortunately, just like the vast majority of our recent signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the fact he couldn't hit a barn door. Two pretty big deficiencies for a striker. He does do a mean chest pass though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 all this bullshit on her about "at least he tries" fucking hell man all of us on here would try wed still be shite this lad is now where he belongs in the championship with the likes of daryl murphy, danny graham, matt derbyshire, chris martin etc etc what a fucking plank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I don't get all this "he'll tear up the championship" stuff either. If you can't hit the target the result is still no goals. He should do his learning elsewhere if he stays. He's nowhere near what we need yet. Or ever, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 21 year old 'target man' striker brought in from abroad with the expectation of instantly hitting 20 goals to keep a team up. Not one player brought in who specialises in crossing and no other player at the club who works well from flick on's / knock downs. Blame 21 year old striker for being shit.

TRon Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 His main asset is his strength and size, but unless the championship teams are all buying midget defenders I don't really see why that would bother them much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but if you miss chance after chance in front of goal, it shows your finishing isn't good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosses went in to him today. He fluffed the chances. No team has a constant supply of crosses whipped into the box. You need someone who can take chances. He had at least 3 today which he failed with. He is not good in the air anyway. His headers are rarely on target. I'm not blaming him for being NUFC's main striker. I'm saying he's a crap striker.

As shit as we are collectively, there's not really anyone else to blame in those situations where he should almost certainly score but can't even hit the target. Of course I blame the club for bringing in a player that's not good enough, but that doesn't mean that I can't get pissed off at him when he doesn't do something that I would still expect a player to do.

Tsunami Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 His mobility is very limited; awful signing for what we needed. Then again I think we all knew that we needed a proven goal scorer before a ball was kicked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 thats the difference maces have Defoe we have this plank. i firmly believe we wouldn't be in this position if wed signed charlie Austin. but oh no we can't sign a guy over 26 can we rip this stupid fucking transfer policy up you bunch of clueless cretins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I wouldn't wanna see this lad made a scapegoat, but him being a cult hero is probably one of the most annoying things about our fans. Some genuinely think he's a very good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's BS. 20 goals? 10 would have been nice. Or at least hits the target whenever he gets a chance. We were hoping for a useful striker. Instead we got a donkey!

Some genuinely think he's a very good player. WE got promoted from the championship last time because the other teams didn't have finishers and we did. If he's our striker next season, we might well be the other team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
