Agreed, his holdup play is easily the best of any of our strikers, but DS likes 1 up top and you can only accommodate a Davis type striker if your midfielders are chipping in with 8-10 goals each.

villalad21 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Looked a much better player than Samatta today although none of them looked particularly great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an opinion based on the fact that he has never scored regulars goal at this level or the championship. Hold up play, touch??? How old is he?! He is a non threatening attacker... pointless. I think he's a poor version of a young Heskey without goals.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not top class though, he plays well so sporadically and you then add that he can’t score means he’s not top class with or without goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so...23 and done nothing to suggest he deserves to be at this level in anyway shape or form. It's an opinion....you don't have to agree.

If he’s 23 and only started 3 Premiership games, it doesn’t say very much about his ability level does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will concede he is not a goal threat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an opinion....you don't have to agree. I don't think he's amazing. He wouldn't be starting for probably any other team in the league. I think he has some good qualities but unless he becomes more of a threat he won't play much at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would either of samatta or Davis be starting for the teams around us? Yet its all smiths fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Smith made the decison not to sign Maupay by his own admission. Not saying i particularly wanted Maupay, but that shows that he has a degree of responsibility for our striking options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
