Millenniumram Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I thought some of our newspapers were desperate for a story... these Turkish journos are even worse! Clearly there’s rumours that he wants to return to England, so some lazy arse just links him to the team he left England from... top quality stuff, no wonder the DET have rehashed it? Why on earth would we want him back, he wasn’t good enough when he left, let alone now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit harsh, the 5 goals in 4 games at the end under Rowett showed that he could still feasibly be a 10-15 goal a season striker at this level, in the right team. We'd certainly have been far better off keeping him on than keeping Nugent, at least he'd have given us a different option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd certainly have been far better off keeping him on than keeping Nugent, at least he'd have given us a different option. I’m not convinced it was anything more than a purple patch in a team suited to him to be honest. In fairness, I didn’t think he was quite as bad as others make out - he was no Leon Best or Conor Sammon. But the point is, we sold him for a reason - and he’s unlikely to have improved having gotten a couple of years older. I see your point with the Nugent comparison as he wasn’t good enough anymore either - he had nothing left in the locker last season really. But the more pertinent point is a comparison with our current playing staff. He’s nowhere near as good as Martin, and we have plenty of options in Waghorn, Marriott and Whittaker.

It’s true, but that was in a Rowett side - much more suited to him than our current style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealhantsram Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 He's the sort of player I think Cocu likes as a CF, so you can see why he has been linked. But I would hope we could also find someone with better with the ball at their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheron85 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I think in a side where we seem to be playing tight, passing football I can see Jerome's complete lack of first, second or third touch and ability to toe-punt and run after it to be a real asset... The guy is fast and strong and has shown an ability to finish - But he's a 'last man' kinda player who you don't want to be involved in team link-up play - Cocu seems to want all his players involved in all areas (which I like) - Jerome is great is your tactic is a Rowett-esque soak up the pressure and then pounce - We play more possession football and he'd be a liability in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustOneBiblicalKazim Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hahahahaha I actually really liked him when we had him but his goals were very much hoof it and let big Cameron ducking run after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
