RamLad1884 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Two questions 1. Has there been any suggestion from the club/management that he's here for the long term 2. Hypothetically if we were in a position to sign him but chose not to, who would you have instead? FFP means realistically we cannot sign anyone expensive For what its worth I'd sign him, even as a back up/long term replacement to nuge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irobinson Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 do we need to make a decision yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 No....I don't see the point of him whilst we have the strikers we already have I have no idea why we took him on loan in the first place....great player that he is....he's surplus and has just caused unnecessary selection issues. Bizarre decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanRam Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 His positioning is brilliant. Proper striker. Fits well in a 4-2-3-1. Keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not my point really....we know he's good. But all three of our current squad can do that if they are playing. We needed midfield players in not strikers.

Very grown up...sigh However,in answer,he's not really blocking Martin,he's needlessly blocking all three intermittently....pointlessly so. Now,I've heard if your put some sugar on that dummy it might be nice....coochy coo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Willow Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Keep him, he's got talent and he's the third best striker in the club at the moment. He's scoring goals and winning points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really blame Rowett for swapping an underperforming midfielder with a proven goalscorer. We basically have two players fighting for the number 10 role and two for the main striker, nothing wrong with that. Ledley has improved the midfield, hopefully we'll see him and Thorne together soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 2 hours ago, coneheadjohn said: I don’t know the answer,depends on the way forward? Don't know yet but 1. Maybe as Bent replacement once Bent contract expires? 2. Would he be able to be happy as a back up if we are in Premier League next season for example? He's OK but to me he's a 3rd choice striker tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Nah, I'd prefer someone with better pedigree. PL is a tough league. To avoid relegation, I'd prefer to have someone who has scored/is scoring regularly in PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I’m happy he’s here. It’s the one area of the pitch we have a real genuine competition for places, each one experienced and capable of leading the line in the Championship. Wasn’t long ago we were pretty much reliant on one striker. If I had to choose today, I’d sign him if finances allow. Problem we have is the more he scores the bigger the fee, with Butterfield impressing there could be an option of no money changing hands. He’s here until May though, plenty of time to wait and see. January and the midfield is top of the list to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre decision. If he is surplus (which I don't tend to agree on) it could all easily change in the next game if we pick up injuries to one or more forwards.

I suppose there could be a freak yachting accident which takes out the other 3..... How often have we had four active strikers on our hands in the past I wonder...and that's not including Russell who can also play the role and bent who is on the mend.

Look at the Reading game Vydra and Bent injured. Winnall, Nugent starting with Martin on the bench. Weimann our only wide option who isn’t a wide man on the bench. Take Winnall away as well you have had just one fit attacker on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I sort of understand your rationale, but what message does it send out to your u23 squad that you never really have a chance of breaking though to the first team. When Bent is fit, we also have Martin, Russell, nugent, Winall, Vydra, Lawrence, Weimann, and Bennet, that’s 9 not including Anya, it’s only possible to make 3 subs a game, so even taking Reading, we have more than enough cover, not taking into account using U23s in exceptional circumstances like Reading.

RoyMac5 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 He's a goal scorer they go for big money if they're any good. So we should sign him, if the price is right. If we go up and he can't cut it *rolls eyes* we'd easy get our money back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
