TRon Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 there's got to be a public inquiry into this transfer. Yes, no doubt our local press boys will be leading the demand for an inquiry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Doesn't matter who's up top the way the team is set up. When the ball is hoofed up to the striker the central midfield is usually right outside our own box. The wingers are a bit further up, but almost hugging the touch line. The striker will have 3 or more opposition players to fend off. We'd need a striker that possesses the strength and hold up play of Shearer combined with the dribling of Messi and pace of Vardy to make it work.

Kanji Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 He doesn’t strike a ball with any conviction or proper technique in any match I’ve seen bar Spurs. He’s leaning back in probably every single shot. There’s no determination from his body language that he’s got a hunger to score or smack it on frame either. Shot of confidence.

Yorkie Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Aye, that goal is a total aberration so far. Miracle that Spurs afforded him so much time on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 there's got to be a public inquiry into this transfer. Douglas was taking the piss out of people last night on Twitter for suggesting the transfer is bent as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I like him but we need him scoring or he has to be dropped because 1 goal up front this season is woeful. We'll be lucky to get £5m for him in a year or two if he doesn't change his scoring record and soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I like him and wish him no ill-fortune. But i'm delighting in watching Ashley's £40m investment turn to shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 He was left isolated again. ASM and Almirón play too wide to support him. He needs support from more central positions. Shelvey just lumping the ball forward for him won’t do much when he has 2 CB’s and a CDM around him. He actually came to collect the ball from deep a few times, especially in the 2nd half. He does have that about him, but still lacks the support he needs afterwards. His shot in the first half summed up how the lack of support does not help him. He held the ball up for ages, managed to get past 3 defenders, and still had no one helping him. Such an important point you made here. It's why he's so much more islolated than Rondon was in the same setup. Under Rafa the width came from the wingbacks, while the Perez and Almiron played more as supporting attacking midfielders, as they were more tucked in. Someone tell that muppet Bruce please.

geordiedean Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Plays like Rivierre. People said I was nuts when I said hes worse than the Hoss. To think we paid FORTY FUCKING MILLION for this absolute chump. Him Almiron and ASM wont score combined what the hoss does this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 That through ball and shot at goal before he went off must mean he gets a few weeks off starting this weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I'd love to know the truth behind the transfer, like. Certainly nowt to do with football. It's difficult to know if there's a player in there because, like ASM and Miggy: that triumvirate is a non-starter, the whole system is non-existent and there's nothing on the training ground to help him refine whatever talent he has. But he's basically looked like Shola so far. He can hold it up and takes some knocking off the ball; there's even some wild skills thrown in there on occasion. But his touch is heavy and he doesn't score much. It's Shola all over. Take my £40m and not a penny less! Whatever. Lying cunts. One of the local constituents needs to write to Chi Onwurah and have her raise it in parliament. She loves to give Ashley a kicking, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The transfer fee is the only reason he hasnt been, or can't be, dropped. Nickson must be shitting himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Never a centre-forward, no movement, awareness, anticipation or threat inside the box at all. Not much better outside the box either. 40m (aye right) on this donkey? He makes Joselu look like a world beater. A very very dodgy transfer this one, no mistakes about it. Better than Rondon though hey Mike, just like Bruce is better than Rafa. Fucking hell man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think there is a lot of potential in Joelinton, it was bat shit crazy to buy him and throw him in the deep end at the price we had. Rondon and Joelinton would have made sense, Rondon as the lead and Joelinton to learn from him and ease in to the league, or play off him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 There is clearly potential in him in other ways but he's never gonna be much of a scorer. See his touch before that horrible through ball to Almiron in Monday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he's got good feet to me, although without goals it's still not enough. That said, I'd still be starting him ahead of whatever else we've got up front.

Ankles Bennett Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Watched this guy playing for Hoffenhiem in the Bundesleague last season and he looked very average to me. No way was he ever going to be worth £41m. Danny Ings would have bee a much better option. At least he knows how to finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
