Alph Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I sometimes wonder how much they want to win a header. With the exception of Green is often looks like the players are putting in a token effort of a jump. TBH, i used to do it in Sunday League. Would "jump" and unfortunatley get beaten in the air......... i was 6ft 2 though. Remember Kevin Harper? He could bloody jump! like he had springs under his boots!! I think we under-estimate the importance of being physical. This isn't Spain. I wouldn't like to see us turn into Stoke, but it would be nice to have that tough side to our game. Not sure what everyone else thinks about Eustace, but i'm hoping we sign him. Just a decent bog standard Championship midfielder really. That's what i like about him. No nonesense. Hope we get him. We need a something to compliment Cywka, Ward, B Davies etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 12 goals in the spl is hardly great, i will reserve judgement but i have heard about his attitude. I will only be happy if we sign a proven championship striker as well. This is a punt but we need to make sure we get some likely prolific signings first for me.

p.shilton Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Not convinced with this, if he was free ie no compensation then maybe would be happier. Seems a lot to pay for an unproven youngster with an attitude problem. 7 League goals in 35 appearances in a teribble league? I reckon most of our players would manage that, even the defenders. If he signs I'll support him but not the kind of signing we have been promised or expect. Love the commentator on the goal clip "Woweeee!"- classic:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Lee Johnson seemed to make more of a positive impact on our midfield. He's shorter than Frodo Baggins!! He looked a tidy player though. Good at corners too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 £7,000 a week sounds a lot for an unproven player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 God I really hope he proves you all wrong. Let's sign some 30 year old Premiership striker for £3mil and then you will all love it because you have heard of him, despite the fact it's a fortune for an over the hill player.

Leeds Ram Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 srg i want him to prove me wrong and i bet so does everyone else, but one has to question the signings capability and how much we are paying for him, tbh this looks like a bad move if we can't get a proven striker in.

SillyBilly Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Anyone know if he takes the penos for Aberdeen? Pretty poor goal scoring record, just imagine how many goals a player like Earnshaw would score up north and that is the sort of conversion we need.

Srg Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 If. People jumping to conclusions so early in the summer. You forget prolific strikers for some teams aren't for others and everyone has to start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 srg the evidence suggests that he won't be prolific this season, 12 goals in the spl, that is very poor tbh. Kris boyd scored the most goals in spl history and look how well he has done in the championship, how many goals and assists does commons have already?

Srg Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 He is 22. If you sign him now for less than £400,000 and iron him out and play him with better players you will be trebling your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 i am sorry but where is the evidence for that? that is simply conjecture, 12 goals simply is not that good at all, boyd and other players who have done brilliant in scotland haven't cut the mustard in the championship this season so why should he? weren't we buying proven championship players this season? not bog standard spl players.

Where would Blackpool be if they had taken that attitude regarding Charlie Adam? The other half is a Rangers fan and I get subjected to a lot of Scottish football. Chris Mcguire is a talent and for £400K wouldn't be a bad deal. He is also by no mean an out and out CF...... and no he didn't take pens for Aberdeen this year, Paul Hartley did.

He has scored 12 goals in all in a very poor league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All nations have players who fail when they come to this country, dismissing a talented young player because he's Scottish is ridiculous. Players are not to be judged on where they have come from it is where they are going that is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
