Guest Cheesy Beans Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Following on from the previous, ‘best number 9’ thread. I thought this would be mildly amusing whilst we have nothing else to do or enjoy. Below is a list of the strikers signed under Mike Ashley’s fantastic tenureship. Players coming through the academy (Carroll, Shola etc) or those signed as youth players (Toney, Ranger, Zamblera, Edmundsson) aren’t included. Facundo Ferreya Shefki Kuqi Luuk de Jong Seydou Doumbia Islam Slimani Emmanuel Rivière Yoshinori Muto Marlon Harewood Xisco Joelinton Yoan Gouffran Joselu Leon Best Daryl Murphy Aleksandar Mitrović Peter Løvenkrands Loïc Rémy Dwight Gayle Salomon Rondon Ayoze Pérez Papiss Cissé Demba Ba Please make three nominations for the below categories: 1. Best overall striker (whole career i.e, Luuk De Jong may have been shit for us, but has had a decent career since leaving) 2. Best NUFC striker 3. Best value 4. Worst overall striker (whole career) 5. Worst NUFC striker 6. Worst value I’ll then tot up the nominations at some point in the future and we can crown our champions. You can only nominate one striker for each award. Discussions welcome. Mine: 1. Best overall striker - Demba Ba 2. Best NUFC striker - Papiss Cisse 3. Best value - Ayoze Perez 4. Worst overall striker (whole career) - Xisco 5. Worst NUFC striker - Emmanuel Rivière 6. Worst value - Joelinton You might find there is tougher competition for the worst spaces Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Actually don't know. None of them seem great. Loic Remy Demba Ba Xisco Also Xisco Joelinton as he's the only one that was expensive. The best/worst for value is unfair on loan players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I like Rondon and Ayoze much more than Ba. Guess it’s because he was signed during the ‘do well and we’ll sell you to someone better’ mercenary era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling a footballer a mercenary for wanting to play at a higher level is such nonsense He can and should do what he wants, I’m just saying I could never get attached to him. And it wasn’t as simple as wanting to play at a a higher level, people literally signed for us because we promised to sell them on. Depressing strategy.
