Displayname Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 14 minutes ago, Jack14Bojangles said: I was really excited about Wissa. Many people on the forum said he was a fully-fledged striker who had scored lots of goals. So far, I haven't seen any of that. Woltemade played very well for the first few months. Since Wissa joined the squad and is now usually in the starting eleven, Nick's form has plummeted. It could be a coincidence, I don't know. The signs were clearly there before Wissa started playing.

I want my centre forward demanding it. He was second penalty taker behind Gordan or so we were told… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Cardigan Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 5 minutes ago, Jack14Bojangles said: Did he give up the ball voluntarily, or did Bruno make it happen? On TV, it looked like Nick was going to shoot, didn't it? I must have missed something... Perhaps. I saw a guy afraid to shoot when he came on. I remain a fan of his, but if I’m striker without a goal in this many games I’m demanding it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked to me like Nick wanted to take the penalty. I can't imagine he didn't. Goals are the only way out of a slump. And I don't get the impression that Nick is afraid to take responsibility. Think about his penalty goal. You need guts to take one like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but to me, it looks like his confidence is on the floor and I doubt he put up much of a fight to take it. He missed in the shootout, I wonder if that has damaged him too.

So far Wissa has strolled about the pitch and not been very good at all, so that's a worry. He was genuinely good last season though, so I still hold out hope, but he's been very, very poor for us so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 We all knew that 55m was way too much for a 29 year old with only one very good season as a striker and not much else to write home about, but given the pickle we got ourselves into by the end of the window it was very much a case of "That's way too steep for him but fuck it, needs must! At least he'll hit the ground running" I know he got injured straight away but his lack of effort has nothing to do with with a stop-start pre season or an injury, he looks like a guy who's chucked it. A real throwback to the sort of shite who kitted up for us in the 'wonga era' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bruno has the ball, a young striker who has only been in the team for a few months will not refuse it. 2 minutes ago, Crimson Cardigan said: Perhaps, but to me, it looks like his confidence is on the floor and I doubt he put up much of a fight to take it. He missed in the shootout, I wonder if that has damaged him too. Perhaps, that's certainly possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 3 hours ago, KaKa said: Brentford taking a step forward after losing him, Mbeumo and Frank is a humbling. Hope the club is paying attention and we don't start hearing about a small pool of players to pick from in the summer again. His replacement was actually the Toney replacement and had an ACL coming from 1 year in Belgium and 1 year in Bulgaria (and the year at Brentford injured). Dango is 5 years younger, bought from another PL Club for less money, also a winger who can play as a 9 - looks a way better player than Wissa. There’s so much quality out there when clubs know what to look for. It’s painful because we used to be one of those clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutching at straws a bit, but I just don’t believe he is this bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just saying it after the event but I wouldn’t have. He’s fucking hopeless. Genuinely. Cunt has 72 year old knees. The only race he’s in danger of winning is ‘quickest way to waste £55m of all time’. The worst use of funds in many a long year this prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
