54 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 For player that player more then a handful of games for us (Excluding the like of Doumbia etc) Riviere and Joselu are probably the worst two strikers for us in recent memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Prior to this recent uptick I'd have said without a moment's hesitation that Joelinton is worse than Joselu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Listing Joelinton as "worst striker" makes no sense since he isn't one. Dubravka would probably do shit there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially the worst striker we've had in my lifetime, and we've had some stinkers. Although it never fails to amaze how some players can revive their careers when leaving our once toxic club. De Jong the Jong-er and Rivs were comfortably worse, imo. Though I recognize the bar is very low. Edited December 15, 2021 by Tomato Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it never fails to amaze how some players can revive their careers when leaving our once toxic club. Starter for 10: Emmanuel Riviere. Seydou Doumbia was pretty ropey and Luuk De Jong offered nothing. I also reckon Adam Campbell was levels below if we're just opening it to anyone. Joselu was a solid target man that wasn't clinical. I think the only drastic difference between him and Gayle in terms of quality is that old Dwight got to tour the territories of the Championship to pad his numbers.

kingxlnc Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I remember seeing Andreas Andersson and think it doesn’t get any worse. the likes of facundo feyrrera, slimani and doumbia im willing to give the benefit of the doubt to as they never got a chance in the team or were injured Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not convinced he was a forward , more a goal scoring winger. I think if he'd still had the pace and a consistent time with Shearer he'd have been grand, like a more refined Bellamy. Instead he was shunted between left wing and forward and didn't have the mobility to be decisive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) I'm personally more than happy to accept someone's opinion of Joselu being that of a player in the same bracket as the likes of Riviere, Andersson, De Jong and Kuqi. But for an objectively average start that exceeded the minimal expectation placed on him, I think he was absolutely dreadful for us, particularly given the number of games he played. He really wasn't a good target man either; nothing stuck to him and he couldn't direct a header. You only had to see how significant an improvement there was across the whole team when Rondon got into his stride - he was a good target man.

Lenny Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 It's relatively unsurprising these days when players move on from us and do well, however Joselu's turnaround is genuinely shocking; he was absolutely dreadful for us. He seems to have been doing well for a couple of years too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
