It's in black and white print. I'm not his biggest fan but we can't ignore facts just to suit an argument. Fair comment! Still think we need an upgrade on him and I'd be more than happy to see him on the bench.Rowett tried to sign him for Birmingham,though, so I suspect he'll be a regular this season.

I thought ignoring facts was a condition of joining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Incidentally I looked at Jota over 3 seasons 11 goals 3 assists 0 goals and 0 assists (only 18 games played) 12 goals 5 assists. its funny how we cream our pants over other teams players and want to spend millions on them even though statistically they are worse then the players we actually have that have been consistently better. funny old game in it!

I'd be happy to see an upgrade on him - However I'd also like to see someone better brought in AND Russell still play I thought we were at our best last season when Ince and Russell were playing well - They added something a little different each and if we can get Russell back to 15/16 goalscoring levels he'll prove to be one of the better wingers in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Johnny Russell Rather have Johnny 5 from short circuit, might actually be able to take his chances at goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny 5 - Legendary. A new Rams attacking unit scores a lot of goals and creates a high amount of chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyram Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Johnny himself would agree last season was not at the level he expects but if you go by chances created for himself I.e by getting into the right areas, if he had been better at finishing or making better choices with crosses / passes to colleagues (for which he was poor) then it could have been a totally different story. Yes he has to up his game this season but I believe he has it in him. Add work rate to his capability then you can see why Rowett may persevere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 2 goals and 4 assist, absolute beast mode that. People living off his form from two-three years ago rather than realise he's become very scale and absolutely dire in front of goal. Six games he's on fire, the rest he's absolutely garbage. The miss on Saturday summed him up, absolute s**t nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It didn't go in? that's not going to change my mind; his finishing for an attacking player is appalling. Plenty of effort, very little quality. Russell and Weimann are too similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier I'm not a Johnny happy clapper but nobody so far has better consistent stats over the last 3 seasons. So who should we get in that's better?

Was available for under a million. How many goals did he contribute to last season? Absolute bargain to be had there Gareth McCearly another one who's IMO a better attacking player than JR Then the obvious like Tom Lawrence.

Hope you're right but he's not had the best of starts in the pre-season matches. Same failings as last season - total lack of composure when a goal-scoring opportunity comes along.

Aiden McGeady 10 goals 15 assists in 3 seasons and 4 years older. gareth McCleary 17 goals 15 assists in 3 seasons and 3 years older johnny Russell 21 goals 30 assists in 3 seasons and 27 years old so Johnny Russell is better then those you mentioned. Already done Lawrence. anymore? Or shall we start appreciating some of our own players instead of everyone else's?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
