His touch and control is fantastic really pleased with his performances. He has learnt his role over time - he has hardly scored many goals in England so two is quite good for him, let’s enjoy him helping us as it’s very much similar to what Kuci did for us and I am sure he will be gone by the summer altough under Cocu I thought it would be Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His touch and control is fantastic really pleased with his performances. I wouldn’t want him at 25. What he’s doing, and how he’s playing now comes from those years of experience, of playing in so many different teams and countries. You also get the sense that he’s relishing his last chance to prove some folk wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRam Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 When he arrived, I was thinking the goal tally didn't seem very high, but the truth is that any goals he gets are an added bonus, as he is one of those rare players that can make things happen for everyone around him, apart from ducking up the opposing defense and winning 50% of the headers in our box during corners/free kicks etc.. an absolute man mountain, and we are now seeing the extent of what he brings to the team. Colin - we love you.................? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I think he is doing brilliantly and certainly proving me wrong. His attitude has really stood out for me and has maybe rubbed off on a few. Last night he was a proper centre forward - held the ball, bullied the centre half, strong, got his goal - a real handful. Also brings a little bit of streetwise gamesmanship. I like him. Hats off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From his interviews and his play you know he cares... that’s all I want. His effort is impeccable and he deserves all the plaudits coming his way recently. Kazim... sorry for doubting you, you’ve well and truly proven me wrong ?? My thoughts exactly. His reaction when Jozwiak scored showed how much he cares - great character to have in the team.

BucksRam Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Very astute signing IMO. A goal machine he isn't, which we still need, but he's a proper bullying CF. Great presence, great target man, fantastic attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Ram Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 He was brilliant last night. Some of the extra things he does just made me and my lad laugh. Wasting time by holding the ball away from their player, and their player being scared to try and get it off him!! Some of our other players tried that and got mauled by their players. Conceding a free kick against their defender and then pretending to kick the ball towards him and have him crap his pants!! In the last few minutes helping out at the back to clear the ball and destroying their player he hit the ball so hard at him ? It was those things along with his great all round display both in a attack and at the back for us that made it a brilliant display. Glad we have him when we do, he is very needed right now.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 He was by many accounts a difficult guy to manage when he was younger. I think we are seeing the benefit of his experience and maturity at the minute, which in our situation is really important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 11 hours ago, KBB said: The player he is now is not the player he was 10 years ago. He seemed to be used more as a wide forward for his pace and skills on the ball. Sometimes the intelligence of hold up play and the ability to be a focal point only comes with age and experience. As the body slows down you have to play a different way. I'm thinking Glenn Murray here. He is the new shefki kuqi and thats good enough for me. Interestingly, do we think Nigel Clough would've signed CKR (had he been available for a "Barker like fee")? I like to think he would've done. He'd have been all over the 34 year old CKR as long he'd been at a Scottish club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great presence, great target man, fantastic attitude. I'd love to know who actually signed him, as I get the impression Cocu didn't fancy him at all. When he was still here we were crying out for someone like Col-Kaz to hold the ball up, and bring others in, yet he never got a look in. Maybe if he'd started earlier Phil would still be in a job and we'd be (at least a little) further up the table... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
