Too me this shows that if howe had more trust in his young players they can blossom, he was wasted for a couple of years barely getting any time on the pitch.

the club themselves were thinking of flogging him because he never really got the chance to prove himself. 

 

Or perhaps he's just come on a lot in the last few months? Hard to say either way really.

If we keep any of our strikers I think we keep Osula.

I'd keep all three. There is potential for real threat and variety there, plus at the moment 2/3 you'd surely be selling at a loss. So many other positions need filling we'll need that money elsewhere.

I think this is the reality, unless we get an offer for one of them. Talk of another striker coming in will depend on this.

Keep Osula primarily as the hybrid right sided forward
 

Wolte as the SS / no 10
 

Wissa as the back up CF 
 

and get a first choice CF in the summer, the real Isak replacement 
 

With Gordon going we need to box clever with the number of replacements, Elanga potentially can play left wing too

 

 

[Kid Icarus]

Not sure how good he'll end up being but his game has matured a lot this last part of the season

[Astroblack]

Love him. Despite the miss, his hustle is immeasurable and when he gets the ball, he’s looking to take players on. 

[Ikon]

Like an ostrich on meth. I like him though, even if I don’t rate him as much as some on here. 

[Pablo123]

Should have hit it first time on his left and bent it in the far corner. 

[TRC]

Should be someone who comes off the bench against tired legs.

[Ronson333]

Who knew he’s a free kick taker 

[RUHRLYASLEEVESUP]

Starting to feel sorry for him now 

[Newcastle Fan]

Guy can do everything and nothing at the same time. Definetly worth keeping him and giving him more game time as his potential is crazy.

He's a good back up sstriker but he shouldn't be leading the line for a team with top 6 aspirations.

Decent bench option, shouldn’t be starting many games for us though imo.

Who knew he was right footed?

Saw this mentioned in the match thread.

 

Was more surprised that anyone thought he was left footed!

 

He always dribbles the ball with his right foot.

[Mills and Boon]

He's banged in some lovely curlers with his left peg

[The College Dropout]

Yeh those curlers are weak foot shots. Makes them all the better.

I understand, but that's what made them all the more impressive, as they were with his weak foot.

 

He always controls and runs with the ball on his right foot.

[Kanj]

His best goals for us are all his left footed shots ffs  

 

I actually really like him, he's raw asf but he's very skillful and is actually quite good technically. Hindsight glasses on but I'd have saved the 120m on the strikers we signed, given Osula, Gordon and Barnes the striking duties and spent 120m on improving the rest of the squad last summer with a top class GK, CM, Winger.

He almost trips himself to keep the ball in with his left here and it was far easier to use his right. Absolutely bizarre decision considering it's his weaker foot. I feel like player 1 is controlling his right leg and player 2 is controlling his left, and they're both wanting to be the hero

There'd have been hell on if we went into the season with just Osula up top

On that note, it’s funny how a club like Forest have 3 or 4 options for central striker and we are never able to assemble options like that. Similar with Palace.

We do have options they just are not effective as they should be.

 

Osula/big nick/wissa all strikers of which wissa is an ex winger,big nick is a false 9 at best and osula is a maniac. 

 

Gordon/murphy/barnes have all had spells within games playing centrally (Albeit the last 2 not so much) which all 3 are really wingers.

 

We managed nearly all last season with a broken wilson and the rat so we have do much more but feel like we have none due to how many weaknesses they all have in that role.
