barry'sboots Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 The Fonz is a difficult one. I am not sure he is ready yet but he desperately needs games to see if he can be. 5-5-1/4-3-3/4-2-3-1 makes it very difficult to give games to more than two out and out strikers unless you get injuries or have an Anelka type that can play from a wide position. I think/hope we will play this because (a) most teams do nowadays, and ( its suits our CM'ers better. If he does go out on loan, however, he needs to go to a club that will play him as a striker.

beasley14 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Emile Heskey has 13 goals for AVFC in 81 appearances. Nathan Delfouneso has 8 goals for AVFC in 41 appearances. Heskey has started many games in his AVFC career while Delfouneso has mainly been used off the bench. Delfouneso is 20. Heskey is 33. Delfouneso should be ahead of Heskey in the pecking order. Its about his all round game though not just the goals, the Fonz has got to learn this. SGC of course he needs to go on loan if he isn't going to start here. He won't obviously because we have Bent and Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 he has already had the experience of a loan though, don't see the point of loaning him out again, he can improve our SQUAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 No he needs to go to improve himself so he can be a 1st team player not a squad player at some point. We don't need average squad players. He didn't do well enough on loan either so why should he start here, you don't get given anything you have to earn it. He's got to go on loan and prove himself so he can come back and say look i'm ready to fight for a place in the team here because i proved i could do it last year.

sir_gary_cahill Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 fair enough, you've got your opinion, i've got mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I know and we both agree there is a very good player in their somewhere. Its just he wont get games here no matter what either of us think of him because we have 2 senior strikers. So i want whats going to benefit him best which is playing games, more likely somewhere else in the short term. Thats basically what i meant.

Cracker1234 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 MatKendrick Mat Kendrick It is a new signing, but it's not a new face. It's Nathan Delfouneso signing a new contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Still seen nothing in the kid that makes me think he is going to be anything other than half decent. I hope im proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 To me slightly better than Vassell slightly worse than Agbonlahor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean_allen Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 The kid is a quality player, and given a chance I am sure he would link up well with either Gabby or with Bent. I cant see him being loaned out again as we are too thin on the ground to risk that! Sort of agree with Richard, better than Vassell, but I think he is on a par with Gabby, Fonz has better ball control and reads a game better rather than reacting to it. Just my opinion of course.

villa4europe Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 just hope he's not on "made it" money i think he can do well, IMO he's got more ability than gabby had at that age but i dont think he's got the off field work rate that gabby has, which is what he needs, if heskey goes to leicester he should get around 15-20 appearances this season, hopefully 5-10 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Think he would have broken through by now if he was going to, but I will be happy to concede I was wrong if he gets POTS next May after a 20-goal season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
