Taximark Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Are we missing him or someone like him? scored 4 or 5 for us didn't he? Interesting that he's yet to score for Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yep. A striker who will pop up with a goal, only needs half a chance. Dare I say it a bit like Leon Clarke. Stevie May works hard but he's not a natural finisher, he missed way too many chances today. He's not instinctive enough. Same for Nuhiu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hasn't really been given a chance at Derby. Wonder if he will be available in January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'd take the old Drake look alikey back. Has an arrogance about him that I like. Seems to strut through games but will still pick up plenty of goals. He was fantastic in that game against QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat blondeau Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Explain. We're missing a striker.... but not Leon Best. Why go back for Best? How many goals has he scored in the last 2 or 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored 5 in 13.14 games for us when he was with us, but read the first post again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat blondeau Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 He scored 5 in 13.14 games for us when he was with us, but read the first post again. Did he score as many as that? I'd rather see Afobe come back than Best. Or Madine or Lavery given a run. There must be someone,somewhere we can pick up better than Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be someone,somewhere we can pick up better than Best Afobe/Madine - League one at this point in time, Laverys been out injured and has yet to find his feet, I'd love to see a strong brute like Best or someone similar, Wickham would be Ideal but we can dream.

Stoop Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Weird player is best. He looks useless most of the time but kept popping up with important goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I would have best back . Like how people are now saying afobe is great after serious slating of him last season from a large chunk of the owls talk no it alls. Said last year we should retain him was obviously a decent player if not a bit raw. We stuck with old favourite Niuhu though . Excellent decision that was !

Wednesday_Jack Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Leon best would have been a good signing...the only people who think other wise are the people that rate nuhiu!! Best is a major improvement on big Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yes, Leon Best would have been very handy this season - but we probably couldn't afford him. Derby effectively bought a year of his meaty Blackburn contract. Our loan striker recruitment last window was a total clusterfuck. When you don't get the Fryatts and Wickhams, you must go for the Litas and Bests. We didn't do that until 11th hour bids for Maynard and Mackail-Smith. We spent too long holding out for the Woods and Vaz Tes in Sept/Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Owl Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'd just like to say I was one of the very few fans wanting Best back before the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 At least he scores goals. Can't believe we haven't got a viable alternative to Nuhiu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefdave Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 He scored 5 in 13.14 games for us when he was with us, but read the first post again. That is a very precise amount of game time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sheff Owl Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Tell you what i was against Best coming back but i'll certainly admit i would have him back now, infact i would probably would even have taken Lita. It's an utter shambles the way we are in the striking department, every summer we have known we have needed a striker and still haven't really sorted it out. If money is that tight it's nonsense to keep Westwood and Kirkland on the books, i would rather have had Westwood and try to sign someone like Martinez back on loan (if he was willing) or there is Dawson, Wildsmith to fill the bench. Then use some funds to bring in a striker, we wasted money on GTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
