Roko Simic - potential signing

Bit of an overreaction. Where have I had a go at the club?

I just happen to think Wilson has been signed to play on the left, where he seems to be most effective. If we’ve signed him as a CF and get nobody else in I’ll be disappointed but not that much because the current squad is going well.

I think we’ll end up with at least one of the three ‘proper’ CFs in the frame by the time the window shuts.


No, not sure how many times it needs to be repeated but it’s because fans of Russian and French football who have seen him play say he’s not been effective as a striker, but has been as a left winger.

We’ve signed an exciting player who potentially fills a gap left by one of our main men in Jack Clarke. It’s possible to be happy about this whilst also thinking he’s not the answer to our striker problem.

Sorry pal I don't sit on here all day.

Basically every source that’s seen him play has said he’s not a CF. He might like to think he can do it but he’s rarely been effective there.

First Russians then the French have basically said he’s a left winger.

If Transfermarkt is to be believed, he's only played on the left twice since he moved to Zenit. Nee idea where he'll play for us but it seems he's capable of both.
 
Rusyn probably described himself as a striker whereas it’s as clear as day he’s a wide forward.

We need a PROPER number 9. Not some one who can’t win a header against a centre back or hold up play (as observers of Isidor report). A proper 9 that we haven’t had since January 23 at Fulham away.

I have no doubt Isidor will be useful signing on the left hand side but he isn’t the number 9 were after.

It's obviously not clear as day as Le Bris says he's not a wide forward he's a CF. I'll believe Le Bris over the know nowt experts on here
