He's also played up front and failed to score .......... whatever the stats say, or whether he's played out of his 'best' position, I just don't like him as a player.
He shoots way too often when he has no chance of scoring and doesn't put himself in the right places to receive the ball.

I can think of some memorable goals he's scored but none that are brilliant or spectacular, I just don't think he has it in him.

Thats fair enough, i just think its ridiculous to knock him for his goal scoring record. It doesn't tell the whole story.
 


Think he has been debated for 4 years and people expected improvement. He hasnt done that. Poor touch, weak, erratic shooting, questionable shooting and poor decision making. Pro's, works hard, pace and still young.

Had to be sold.

And a piss poor attitude from what I've heard. Dick won't stand for that side of it.

It's interesting that not one of the local journalists (I know) have questioned the sale as being bad business. They all seem to agree that it was the best thing all round.
I know we take the piss out of them for knowing nowt but I really wouldn't be surprised if they heard bits and pieces about players from managers/coaches or even other players.

These transfer negotiations take varying lengths of time and therefore conclude at various times.
It's pot luck as to when they fall.

It's not a case of compiling a bullet point list and working your way through it in order.

Ah, I get it! There is no underlying rationale. You sell whoever you can, when you can. Is that like a fire sale? :)

Who buys shite? You couldnt give some of our players away.....and if you did theyd refuse to go so they can keep the huge wages we pay compared to the club that would accept them for free.

OK. The team never gets better. I get it. :)

People acting like their happy need to have a long look at themselves, proves how lowdown the food chain we are when palace can poach our best players.

And for everyone saying he isnt worth 9m etc, he is cause they payed it. How many of our other players would command that sort of fee? Very few.

Didn't have to be sold at all man, In my opinion he was our best Striker. Either way he's the only one that anyone would buy that tells its own story.
 
Cant blame the lad for moving tbf, imagine not being preferred to Fletcher and Graham in the middle :lol: :lol:

He is much better than both, I'd be jumping at a move as well. Better team, much nicer place to live, probably more money.
