In reverse, everyone he touches turns to poo. Sure this is the man that had Darren Bent in his prime and sold him and got no replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was Craig Gardner for 6m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there’s numerous factors to be considered on where a player would prefer playing, a few of which we might have little clue about, but they’re sure to include: living reasonably close to family and friends; being able to speak the local language; being close friends with one or more of the new work colleagues; hoping to have more game time in front of watching England selectors. Bordeaux don’t score so well after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Basically just a taller Hogan. Lumping it in the air to him every time is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It is another baffling thing to add to the list that under Bruce he has never gone and got a big hairy ar**d targetman. If you are going to play direct football then at least get a striker to suit it- or instead spend millions on signing Hogan and loaning Abraham instead. Gestede was/is crap but at least you could lump it up to him if that is your plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Yep. Another striker that Bruce has absolutely no idea how to utilise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt he sell Gestede and replaced him in squad with Hogan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Have been pleasantly impressed with Abraham. Has a bit of spark about him and the skill to go with it. With him Kodjia, Grealish and any one of our wingers in the starting lineup we should be outscoring teams more often than not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I thought he was decent last night, some of his build play surprised me. I thought he was just a goalscorer and had no more to his game than that but last night proved otherwise. With service, he will score goals at this level, I have no doubt about that. I think we have the players to get the best out of him going forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bordeaux don’t score so well after all. He would learn a new style of play, new culture and would develop more as a player abroad than under Steve Bruce. He also wouldn't have a neck strain from looking up for the ball every few minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in guessing why, but the only person with the full facts and opinion that mattered was Abraham who decided the advantages of joining us exceeded any other offer he received. Perhaps he isn’t all that enamoured by Bordeaux’s style of play and local culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big problem we have is a lack of desire and will to win, at least Abraham has it. Edited September 30, 2018 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
