Rod Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 We look better with him on the pitch, out wide. He's able to get involved far more and he is good at keeping the ball and passing it to a teammate, unless Hayden falls asleep and cuts off Joelinton's only pass route. We look far better with him off the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I can't fault his attitude, and he's earned his place in the side. But that position of withdrawn striker can make a big difference to how a team functions. Someone with more pace and a better first touch is who we need to look for, long term. And yeah, I know that's difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 was watching him off the ball. honestly, the cunt was just jogging around. no urgency at all. no closing down and putting the opposition under pressure. it's not his fault he's shit, but there's absolutely no excuse for his lack of effort. he should be dropped for that alone. its obvious bruce is either pig thick, or under instructions from upstairs to play him, or both.

Doctor Zaius Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 He's so, so poor like. Decision making amongst the worst ive seen amongst any forward player for us. He's slow to react, doesn't particularly put himself about, doesnt appear to have much technique and has no particular standout qualities that set him apart from the poorest of PL footballers. He occasionally shows the odd neat touch and bit of vision that you'd expect as a basic from an elite level footballer but thats about it. He's been played as a striker, out wide and in the hole and he's never looked natural in any of those positions. Its not a case of bedding in, its not a case of him being young and needing time either. He's had 60 or so games for us and he's only occasionally looked average, maybe once of twice has he looked decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Yep terrible You'd think £40mil they'd have some sort of decent attribute like pace or good strength but he can't even control the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Another nothing player , I see nothing in him to suggest a fee of £50 , hes an utter plank . Yet Anderson wont ever start ahead of him, for a long time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I truly hope the rumours of him not actually being £40m and the fee being exaggerated by the club with lots of add ons is true. I can't think of a worse player in history that has been transferred for such a sum. Sure there's been some shocking transfers over the years but this feels like the most expensive flop if he really cost as much as they said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I truly hope the rumours of him not actually being £40m and the fee being exaggerated by the club with lots of add ons is true. I can't think of a worse player in history that has been transferred for such a sum. Sure there's been some shocking transfers over the years but this feels like the most expensive flop if he really cost as much as they said. He's got to be up there, surely. Really feel like it flies under the radar a bit as well. He's been a fucking horrible signing. I mean there'll always be Torres who'll go down as arguably the worst flop when it comes to transfer fee Vs. return, but even he scored somewhere close to 50 goals for Chelsea including some crucial ones in the Champions League. There's Shevchenko for Chelsea as well but, again, twenty-odd goals in a couple of seasons. Hardly the apocalytpically bad return that big Jeff has for us. Carroll? Kepa, maybe, if we can include non-strikers? Weird ones like Drinkwater, if you can call that a 'flop'? Soldado? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Feels like when West Ham bought Savio Nsereko for a record fee and he was barely a footballer, only inflation adjusted and fee doubled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Aye there's probably others who are more befitting of 'most expensive flop', or whatever you want to call it, in pre-mental-inflation days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
