TRO Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) He is clearly not the player, we thought we had bought ( to date)and that happens too often for us. I don't profess to know what is wrong with him, maybe he just needs to hang around and find some form without pressure. However, I don't think we can keep doing this IF we have ambitions for better things...players coming in need to show their worth.....sure not every transfer in will be a hit, but a bit better ratio, would be cool. Why, its happening, I am unsure....but other clubs do seem to be having a better effect at blending players, even when they don't pay as much as we do for individual players. We certainly sell cheap and buy expensive on this basis.....with the exception of Jack, but we can't keep dining out on that one.

DCJonah Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Very positive words from Gerrard today. This guy is going to be a big player for us and show that it was a coup to get him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he's a match winner, not had chance to shine yet for us and I'm not sure how fit he really is just yet, I'd hope he's part of our long term plans. Here's the quote.

Sulberto21 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 His injuries with us have definitely had an effect on his acceleration and top speed. I hope he hasn’t lost it. He definitely was a speed merchant but injuries unfortunately can affect a player’s pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still young and hasn’t done significant damage to his body. If he was give the time to properly heal then at this point it should be a mental thing vs a physical thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Can go on his holidays early and his agent can find him a loan move for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 He didn’t fancy that, got the first “injury” because he was fat and slow in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Forced an excellent save from Krul - just think he might be a bit too soft for the league. He's had rotten luck with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Don't like hating on players, but he is such a lightweight from what we've seen. Can't press, never wins the ball and can't hold possession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder why he's being played over Buendia who can do all those things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Really don't see an instance where he's here next season. Edited April 30, 2022 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 He’s made of crisps. Good shout for worst signing ever if this carries on, given he was twice as much as McCormack and 3x as much as other contenders such as N’Zogbia and Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Honestly I think he needs a good preseason and build from there, he does look lightweight though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete101 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 His best game of season against Everton he didn't want to be on pitch at all, think that says it all, fair enough he is picking up knocks but most players play through some type of injury, he believed he was gonna be main man when he arrived here and then realised this is a bit tougher then German football and downed tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
