None of these are strikers. yes they all strike me as a similar type of player. Not a midfielder but not a striker. We need some strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watto Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 2 hours ago, 0114 said: Not sure he’s quite a striker. 30 appearances last season were from RW compared to 3 as a striker. Happy with the signing though, he was outstanding for Huddersfield in 16/17 when playing RW and scored 12 goals. Tbf forestieri and reach were good in 16/17 it's 2020 now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Free transfer on a one year deal, a risk worth taking IMO. He's got something to prove and if he produces the goods I'm sure DC will reward him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I think the -12 has people worried and the form of the second half of last season have people worried. Dunkley Brown Kachunga Widnass All solid championship signings. Without the -12 I'd expect this squad with a couple of more additions to easily be midtable.

bigthinrob Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 1 hour ago, @owlstalk said: It's pure narcicissm I was listening to Five Live yesterday and there was an expert on discussing why people do things like that It's purely a narcissistic exercise to make themselves feel better by projecting an image that they know more than anyone else on the subject By putting themselves forward as an expert they get an intoxicating rush, and this gets addictive to the point where they'll post anything just to appear the expert again That was one reason. The other reason is that they're just scared of something and unhappy with their own lives That may be the expert's prognosis (& probably correct) but sure as hell continues to damage us & our prospects. Any of these player's that 'fan's' automatically don't rate are automatically put under more pressure from day one and are forced to perform above average just to stand still & get grudging acceptance. People say they are overpaid & therefore should be able to live with the criticism or probably don't read it anyway, but it has been proved numerous times that it does ACTUAL damage. Think Morgan Fox who we could have desperately done with right now. Nuhui endured it during all his tenure here & what did it achieve? Nothing except a fracture between fans & players. Our supporter's get all defensive & precious when criticised and are almost like a protected species if any criticism comes their way. You read the negative comments on here regarding a new signing who hasn't kicked a ball in anger yet & are forced to question whether they are more in it for their own ego's which is basically what your article was saying, or the good of the club in a very difficult situation. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 How is poster after poster claiming he looks a great signing (despite 4 goals in 75 games) any less narcissistic, then somebody claiming they don't like the thoughts of him signing because of the very same stats? It is still somebody expressing their opinion, whether people agree with it or not. Forum's are by design narcissistic, it is how they work, for people to spout their opinions, for others to digest and respond to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Can’t help but think Jutkiewicz would be perfect as our centre forward. Would love us to go and get him in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 It makes me laugh. The same folk who point to our smelly neighbours and their King Pig as a shining light example, complain about us wasting money on expensive hasbeens on long contracts yet would have been in absolute total meltdown at some of those he signed and turned around in the past few seasons. Free transfer, one year deal, proven at this level, good relationship with another new recruit on loan from a top Premier League club but yes, MOAN, MOAN, MOAN fuckingMOAN!!!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I’ll be honest I’ve never really rated him but beggars can’t be choosers and we most certainly are beggars. I’m starting to think our season is going to hinge on Jordan Rhodes rediscovering his goal scoring touch which doesn’t bode well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
