KBB Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm going to stick my neck firmly on the block here. I think he would be a fantastic signing at this level.he has power, strength, aggression, athleticism and bravery. Everything I want in a striker to take the pressure off Martin and fit in the existing style of play with players buzzing in an around a focal point striker who is good with his back to goal.players who haven't banged in goals in the premiership have stepped down a level and looked real handfuls. Cameron jerome last season is a prime example of this.ever since we had kuqi on loan we have needed a big strong hold up player who can play with his back to goal and bring others into play and cause problems. How much did heskey change the game and cause problems when he came on for Bolton?i will say this. I would rather have him in our team or our bench then any other opposition team we will face this season. He is the type of play who always causes us problems every single season. If he signs I for one think it is a good bit of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool As Custard Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Just a higher paid over rated more injury prone version of Connor Sammon i'd have the fish back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano180 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm sure big bad brave Jeremy Peace won't let us have him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 My West Brom mate rates him. He's really strong and has enough pace about him. Could, in theory, really improve his scoring record in this league. £3m sounds a little steep though for someone who won't automatically start.

StringerBell Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 bit of a sweeping statement? I'm sure many people with some amount of knowledge of the premiership would know who he is It was a reference that regular readers of the website dcfcfans and particularly the thread 'Jacob Butterfield' might have got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColchesterRam Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Would be decent back up for sure but for 3 million I think we could land someone proven at Championship level like Vydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 To be honest he would be a very good replacement for Martin BUT he would only play when Martin doesn't.So to spend £3mil and get a player to drop down a league to not make many appearances at all may be a bit wasteful.

KBB Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Just a higher paid over rated more injury prone version of Connor Sammon i'd have the fish back!!do you really believe a player who has never played at a lower level than the premiership for the entirety of his career, as well as scoring goals in the Europa league for everton is comparable, if not worse as you say, to Connor Sammon?

May Contain Nuts Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 He may have some desirable attributes, but they're no use if he's never fit."At 27, the powerful forward has made just 80 league starts in his career after a series of niggling injuries and only 22 for Albion" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 This guy get's injured more often than our CM's. I don't want to waste 3 million on someone who I don't have much faith in not being injured. They can loan him to us instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take him from WBA quite happily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 With all the facilities and investment at Moor Farm i'm sure we'd be too professional and thorough to sign a crock.Looked a prospect as a youngster at Everton but has started fewer games than Will Hughes so a bit of a gamble at £3m.And apart from fish puns based on Anichebe sounding very slightly like Anchovy, it seems a pun desert although older members may find his first name rather comic.

Guest Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I always thought he was a cracking player when I have seen him play. People who question the 3m should remember last season, and how much we lost as the result of not having a back up for Chris Martin. These type of players are rare, and could be the best 3M spent....if true of course :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 that shocks me. Steer well clear. Loan onlySod that, look at George Thornes appearances before we brought him from WBA and he's played all season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
