AlwaysAVFC Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) I think when he was sold, there was a compulsory buy back if they get relegated. What do we reckon that means? I presume it's not the full buy back, so what we paid or a bit more? It certainly made sense at the time and covers us losing a potential loss of a chunk of money depending on that situation. Still no better off on how good he is. Not many strikers would have much success at Sheffield Utd. Still not convinced he's got a good enough off the ball game but still hard to tell. How does his value hold after this season? And where will that leave us with FFP?

Villatillidie95 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I don’t think the buyback clause is mandatory, the ball is in our court, it will be mandatory if we want it to be, however if we don’t exercise it then that’s fine too. Fwiw I think Sheffield United aren’t quite “streetwise” enough. Stick him in a dyche team or moyes team at the current Everton or West Ham and he would do better because these teams would be able to get the ball to him and create chances in a way that Sheffield United just can’t. He has to do quite a lot of defensive work coming off the flank for them too, so it’s not been ideal. put him in a team that can play the gritty style well and he will look a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will play a proper 442 aswell with a big beast like Beto or Antonio winning knockdowns that enable him to run in behind. At Sheffield United he has to do everything alone as mcburnie is always suspended lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think of those teams, it's either deep crosses or players effective off the dribble. Doucore, McNeil, Harrison can all carry the ball and deliver the finall ball/shot and Calvert-Lewin is a much better hold up player than Archer. Same for Bowen, Paqueta, and Kudus at West Ham. I like Archer, but he was made for a team like Boro in the championship that can play decent football so he gets a lot of chances at it without doing too much of the ball carrying and holding up. He plays best in a 2 but Sheffield are just too poor even when they play him with McBurnie up top. Ironically enough, he could have probably done a better job at Burnley where they're desperate for a forward that can take a chance with Foster having been unavailable.

I agree he wouid have been a much better signing for a possession based team like Burnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I take it back - I was very annoyed when he scored and it looked like he was going to rub it in our faces a bit and the players held him back but clearly I was seeing things! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rodders Posted December 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2023 He should celebrate. He's their player. Goals should be celebrated always. **** old clubs. If you've been somewhere 15 years then score against them then OK but Cameron owes us nothing. Pl 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Nothing wrong with celebration. Game showed us everything about him. Limited in open play but works hard and is lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Good good player. Could have done with him the box today. His runs are very good and he’s got quick feet and good balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
