Pilko Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'd be very, very pleased with Andre Gray and Demairi Gray like. They'd be bloody good signings and anyone who'd be "underwhelmed" by them was probably underwhelmed by Ritchie and Gayle last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Would have kept the little fella: http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/vurnon-anita-and-yoan-gouffran-heading-for-summer-exits-at-newcastle-1-8556313 It's the right decision imo. If we're going to develop the club we need to upgrade on players like Gouff and Anita. Which I'll get on board with once I see Colback somewhere else.

TRon Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Still think Lukaku could backfire for a top club. His linkup play is poor and he's very streaky. Streaky? He scored in 22 games this season. Harry Kane scored in 20. His record against top 6 clubs isn't too good apparently. If you're Chelsea you have to consider that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kane scored in 20. His record against top 6 clubs isn't too good apparently. If you're Chelsea you have to consider that. Very few strikers do have a good record against the top 6 - http://www.football365.com/news/the-nonsense-of-the-flat-track-bully-criticism Pertinent section (correct as of mid-April): The fact that every elite striker in the Premier League this season has endured such criticism at one time or another is enough to deem the accusation itself as nonsense, but let’s prove it so anyway. Judging the six top-scoring strikers in the country on the number of non-penalty goals scored in starts against the top six produces the following results (non-penalty goals is the only fair way of comparing penalty takers against non-penalty takers: Lukaku – 3 non-penalty goals in 9 starts Ibrahimovic – 2 in 5 Aguero – 2 in 6 Costa – 2 in 8 Defoe – 1 in 9 Kane – 0 in 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Pretty harsh to judge a player from a club outside of the top 6 based on his record against clubs that are in that quota. Teams like Everton are always going to be on the backfoot in those games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Lukaku goes through these spells where he just plays lazy and his movement on and off the ball stops. He doesn't exactly fit the 'always on the move' profile that many of the best do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Love when people immediately wikipedia or go on a stats website to review a player linked with us and come straight to a conclusion as to whether or not they'd be a good signing. Totally ignoring their performance, how and where they play for their current club, how Rafa would utilise them etc. etc. Calling a rumour "underwhelming" despite never actually seeing the player play ffs Dennis Wise methodology. Wonder how many would have been upset at us signing Kante because he played for some s*** club in France and didnt have the best pass % or shots on target. Everyone is free to form a judgement but at least go to the effort of watching them play or something first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Only thing that would concern me with Gray is that he struggled to get into a struggling Leicester side this season on a consistent basis. Maybe that is just poor management, or maybe there is something going on in training or behind the scenes. Whenever I've seen him, he's looked really dangerous but often makes the wrong decision (shoots rather than passes). Had similar feedback from Leicester fans, but with a good manager that could potentially be trained out of him. A very similar player to Atsu I think. King I like, but I've not seen a lot of him tbh.

STM Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I like Andre Grays attitude, he seems to have a confidence (arrogance) to his game. It's something thats very much needed at SJP. Once he gets a couple of goals he could fly. He's got pace too, which is vital to us this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
