I'd say he should be doing better based because his last 3 seasons suggest he should. I wouldn't say he's doing about what he should be doing because, 4 years ago, he only scored 4 times in a season. Ridiculous to class last season equal to 4 years ago because they're both "in the past". Why is it? What possible difference does it make or what bearing does it have on today? We won the European Cup, we still sing about winning the European Cup, does it matter that it was 34 years ago?

Our European Cup win from 34 years ago is completely irrelevant to being a Championship team now. If we were Champions League winners last season, we may be expecting a bit more from the side.

ermie123 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 A striker who doesn't score goals is as useful as a hammer made from wool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean he's more of a specialist? Pretty useless at banging in a nail, but fundamental material for the felt on a piano hammer........ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermie123 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Well i suppose that is a use of some sort, so is a career change on the cards for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Folski Posted January 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2017 From watching the Wolves match the last day I've a theory on Ross, he is getting in some great positions but our players are not good enough to pick him out. Improve the midfield and he'll start scoring. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a quality player, who will thrive with a midfield behind him I am pretty sure a lot of us believe this, but with the personnel we have at the moment, Ross just doesn't fit because as you mentioned, our midfield is shit. We need someone like Ayew and Kodjia who can make chances out of nothing. Until we sign some midfield talent, Ross is absolutely wasted. It was the same thing with Bent after his first season. Bent didn't suddenly become awful, but rather we lost Young and Downing who were constantly serving him quality chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 He's not very quick is he? Nor very physical (tall), which would pose a problem if we get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We arent talking about one of the best strikers in the world we are talking about one of the best strikers in the championship recently, the poor guy has had no service. If he had been given say 3 chances and missed them then fair to have a go at him but he got one......looked like he should've scored but he didn't, I'm not going to have a go at him for that as you arent going to score with every chance you get, not even the best players in the world do that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Ronaldo has missed some sitters this season. Benzema just fired 10 yards over the bar when 5 yards out. Everybody misses them. The past is the past but the further you go back in the past the less relevant it becomes. Edited January 18, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowlersrs Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 He's probably our most smart player when he's on. Unfortunately I think he's not surrounded by enough talent. I am too optimistic that if we bolster midfield his goals will come. No one at our club seems to be on his wavelength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So far he's been a massive waste of money and a huge disappointment . Considering his age, what we paid and where we are he's IMO one of our worst ever signings. Still has time to become a important signing for us, but half the season is gone now and our chances to reach play off is fading fast. Obviously loads of reasons why he hasn't worked out so far, but all in all he's been a very expensive flop. If we need money to buy midfielders and another striker I would rather sell him if possible than gamble on him finding his form here. Then again as other have said I'm sure he like every other player in the team would perform better if he had a midfield worth the name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'd give him to the summer but like some have said very little has been created for him so it's very hard to judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted January 19, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2017 Fulham fan at work reckons Ross is going back there on loan! Reckons it's all over their message boards. Can't see it myself as we would be left with Gabby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan_007 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Thought bruce laughed it off and said 100% no. Strikers need to be feed. The lad has been given nothing. If kodja could pass he'd have a few more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Sun's saying some thing. No way under any circumstances should be loaning him off. Buy him back for what we paid or he stays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
