Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Madine is poor. Doesnt attack balls in the box., his movement is poor in and out of the box . Looks like he lacks desire. Owlstalks resident fool knows best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez3942 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 this is the thing we wont just have 2 strikers!!! we will have Antonio, Maghoma and JJ who could all play up front if needed. Plus the new lad and Maguire. I would like to see Madine given another season and a run in the team to prove himself and I also believe Maguire has potential too. i would love to see Lita come in but if we sign zayatte I doubt we will be able to afford another striker unless we shift someone out which judging by the squad numbers would be maguire first...

SWFC_Liam Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 If Madine isn't getting the game time early this season I hope he gets loaned out and we don't stunt his development like last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevdi9 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Madine as any striker needs quality service until he gets that he will be under pressure look at who is supplying the strikers as your main fault ,you can't score if you have nothing to work with ,strikers will thrive on quality balls into the box ,or will struggle if the opposite happens there in lies the main problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidioso Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'd love to see Madine given a real chance. But I fear he may be down the pecking order, and on his way out. We only played one up front half the time last season, so 4 strikers might not be written in stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 If Madine isn't getting the game time early this season I hope he gets loaned out and we don't stunt his development like last season. Didnt he get offered to go out on loan last season and turned it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I thought Madine looked well up for it last night. Iv been a critic in the past but if he sticks his nut down he's worth havin in the squad. If he got a chance and bagged a couple I think we could see a proper striker emerge. Obviously lacking confidence but its no wonder if he spends his time reading owlstalk. He got another chance against Rangers didn't he? Had some good chances to score. One thing he's not lacking in is confidence. Do you not think that he could be suffering from over-confidence in his own ability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Lita didn't do too bad. lita has a number of things to his game madine doesn't have... better pace, better workrate, appears to have a better understanding of the game, far better finisher, proven at the present level...

THE REF Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 i actually think Mcguire is a better ball playing footballer then Mad dog.. not sure on Wednesday night if Madine had been told to hang back a bit when we were bombing down the wings but for me his positioning for crosses and ability to sprint for the ball is diddly squat..

Professor Erno Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'd keep him for the moment, but the fact he's still here doesn't mean he will be come the start of the season though. DJ would be foolish to let him leave, be it on loan or permanent, with so few replacements at the ready. As soon as we have better, I'd let him move on. If his attitude and application on the pitch hasn't improved over the summer, it'll be another season of 'Oh ffs Madine' from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFC_Liam Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Didnt he get offered to go out on loan last season and turned it down? He did, but he wanted to fight for his place in the team during that last month or two I suspect, a longer term loan deal would be more beneficial than a couple of months in my opinion.

Guest TonyOwl88 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Why is it that people winge endlessly if we sign players over the age of 25, but also complain and engineer stories about our U25 players leaving. Can we not develop talents like Madine? He scored 18 goals in a season where we gained promotion largely due to his goals. He has it in him. Looked like a real player against Barnsley last season.... and if we're honest, he didn't have a massive run of games to get himself acustomed to the league. Does anyone remember Grant Holt? The only way I'd like to see Madine leave, is on loan to a Championship/League One club if he is not in DJ's immediate first-team plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 This is his make or break season in the championship. I believe DJ sees something in him lets just hope it happens for him this season, If he gets the service he has to start putting them away.

Dan™ Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 The thing with Madine is that fans treat him as a target man, mainly because of his size. He's not a target man, he's a finisher who can use both his head and feet to score goals. I'd love to see him playing alongside Nuhiu, who actually is a target man to sit deeper and link up play before bursting into the box. For me Madine would be in competition with Lita (if we get him) as our poacher, using Madine as a target man isn't playing to his strengths as a very good quality finisher.
