Still 55m for a 29 year old that looks like a washed up championship striker at this point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC91 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 He's started 3 or 4 games in the league for us and now he's wrote off as not good enough. Similar to Woldemade now just branded as "not a striker" There has to of been a big bust up as he scored 19 for Brentford yet we are favouring Osula. Eddie but he's got to try and get them to in the team somehow as their stock will just fall more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one poster on here, at any point, thought that the Wissa signing was anything but overpaid, until this season he has averaged a 1 in 3 career and last season was better than 1 in 2, not even Baba Vanga would have seen what was going to happen this season.

Agreed - we all knew we’d massively overpaid. So I’m assuming Howe knew that too - but he’s still here, not performing. Scouting a player isn’t just about looking at stats - it’s about character as much as anything; something Howe himself has said before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Howe is wrong in not playing him tbf - if the manager thought he had something to offer there’s no chance he’d be sat on the bench.

Still 55m for a 29 year old that looks like a washed up championship striker at this point It seemed like he was desperate to join and very positive with all his media stuff when he signed. But he was barely a step down from what Isak did in the summer. So I’d say there could be an attitude problem or a character flaw there. Plenty said as much in the summer. Not me, mind. I agreed we overpaid by £15-20m. But in hindsight, I was ignoring the fact he went on strike a bit and using excuses for him. We’ve actually overpaid by about £50m. Par the PSV game, against a terrible side on the night. He looks like a competition winner. Although a competition winner might work a bit harder and act with more professionalism.

TheEntertainer Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 As has been mentioned hindsight is 20/20. I was very excited about this signing despite not agreeing with the way he downed tools. We massively overpaid, but I still expected him to be a great signing. He was probably actually worth around £30M given his age, but we had money and were over a barrel. If he'd have done what was expected I think the fee would have been quickly forgotten. He's obviously shown that he should probably be paying us to play for us so it's actually about £60M overspent, but I don't think anyone thought it was going to be quite this bad. He'd had two really good seasons for Brentford (only one as the main striker so less goals the season before but he still looked really good) so the signing seemed guaranteed success, I'm still not convinced he hasn't done lasting damage with the injury he got just after the signed, or maybe he is just a massive wanker who just wanted one last payday but that seems unlikely at 29.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 He hasn't really had the chance to try and prove himself when you think about it, mainly due to Howes obsession with Gordon, and obviously now Osula getting minutes too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might work again for a different manager who sets his teams up in a different way. Managers need strikers to perform certain duties. Rafa with Mitro being a prime example. Didn't mean Mitro was a bad striker, just Rafa wanted more work rate going the other way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact Osula started ahead him at the weekend has to tell you he's not even performing in training. Eddie wouldn't be leaving him on the bench for any other reason.

Moose Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) He shouldn't get a chance just because he was expensive, he has to earn his game time like everyone else. The fact that he's gone from what looked like a plug in and play, tap in of a signing to 4th choice behind a inconsistent winger, an unpolished chaos merchant and a physically weak and slow square peg in a round hole tells it's own story. He's a bum, get him to fuck. Edited April 16 by Moose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
