IslandExile Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Just a shout-out for Colin Kazim-Richards. The slating he received in the Transfer Forum was quite incredible. Anyhow, I know he's only had a couple of cameo appearances so far but I think he's shown some nice touches. He's held the ball up well and flicked a few on nicely. He's also not been afraid to throw his weight around. I am looking forward to seeing more of him. Fair play to the lad ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I was sceptical of what he could offer from the beginning that being said, I have been pleasantly surprised by what I’ve seen of him so far. Keep up the good work & keep on clattering the opposition. We have needed that edge for a long time, give em hell ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to the baying crowd, we were promised Serdar, son of Zlatan. And we got quite excited. Then we thought we'd found £25m and was buying the Brazillian Raphina. And we got quite excited. When you end up with a 'Colin', any 'Colin', after dreaming of the son of Zlatan and Raphina and getting quite excited... even Colin would concede that's a bit of a downer.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 He could be just what we are missing at the moment... Getting the ball to stick up top a little would be a good thing and help to slow those counter attacks we are so prone to conceding from. His distribution around the box (from the little we have seen of him yet) could also help to get our midfield to run onto the ball and start creating goals from open play. He may be an inspired purchase from Cocu once fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Not worthy of a shout out yet, whether positive or negative. He’s hardly touched the ball. I can’t be far behind him in contributions on the pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The guy's an honest pro. He will sit up top and be a nuisance. He will provide the odd lay off. But we need goals. We've got plenty of players who can create chances but precious few who can take them. That's where the disappointment lies. We wanted a goals man and got another assists man.

We wanted a goals man and got another assists man. True but a good assists man can increase our goals tally (any increase at all would be welcome). We know that knight and shinny are two of our midfielders who can score from good lay offs (see both from them last season) and we had plenty of goals in the past from that source. I'm not sure if ckr has the fitness and consistency to excel in this area though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t be far behind him in contributions on the pitch! I'd just like to give a shout out to Emmanuel Idem. The lad came in at short notice, he turned up on time, he had a nice clean face, and he didn't leave any litter around his seat on the subs bench. I've seen enough that I'm confident in predicting a bright future for this young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I mean personally I was as annoyed as anyone regarding our transfer dealings in the striker department. I do think the stick thrown at CKR was a little over the line. The way I see it even if he’s the worst player to ever grace the club he’s only on a 1 year deal and I doubt he’s on too much money. Not his fault in the slightest, as long as he gives his all when called upon then he’s fulfilled his side of the deal. Not sure he’s worthy of a shout out. But taking away the hysteria of deadline day and accepting where we are as a club, then it’s worth noting he’s not as bad as some would make out.

Millenniumram Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 To be fair, I don’t think any of the outcry was particularly directed toward him as a player. If we were just replacing Marriott with CKR then I’d say that’s a decent move, he certainly has his uses in terms of strength and hold up play. It’s the fact we didn’t sign another first choice striker as well that caused the uproar. If we had, I doubt anyone would have been that bothered giving CKR a one year deal.
