He was genuinely worse than any option we have tried up front this season. An absolute abomination of a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute abomination of a player Apart from all the goals he’s scored that ours haven’t. Really bad technically and wouldn’t link thinks up but in terms of brute force and power he was unstoppable when he got going. Pulis wants someone quick and powerful in any case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.. Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Every answer so far is wrong, correct answer is: Marouane Chamakh, Pulis said himself how highly he rated him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteG_1984 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Should have kept Dave Always a good option off the bench to terrify opposition defenders and would have fit into Pulis’s style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Any strikers would be an improvement on what we currently have. To think Gary Monk told half the squad in January 2020 that they were goners then spent the next 9 months assembling a striker force of Jordan Rhodes, Josh Windass, Callum Paterson and Elis Kachunga who in 12 games have managed 2 goals between them. He allowed Steven Fletcher, Fernando Forestieri, Sam Winnall and Atty Nuihu all to leave on frees. If Gary Monk gets another job in football again, I will be surprised even with cash issues you don't let players 4 strikers leave then replace them with 3 midfielders and 1 striker who used to score goals 4 season ago. Our spectacular striker force is the reason that we have only scored 1 goal in open play in the last 8 league games. (+1 penalty) If the club can learn one thing from that it is strikers score goals, midfielders playing up front being called strikers don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems what you've done here is blame Monk for having to clear out players on massive massive wages that were making us breach FFP and forgotten (deliberately?) that we needed to shed these wages and get spending right down Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have central midfielders who sit too deep and winger who never cross the ball into the box, instead they cut in field and shoot off target but we will continue to play a right footer on the left and a left footer on the right. I though modern footballers were meant to be two footed not in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We then proceeded to sign midfielders that we didn't need and call them strikers and that has worked out so well as we can see by the league.

Indeed but Joao at Reading has scored 12 goals because he gets good service. How many assist has Bannan, Harris, Loungo, Reach got this season, it might answer your question why we currently sit 23rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher went to a better team by choice . Forestieri has been garbage for years and we couldn’t afford him. Winnall is no better or worse than what we have and Nuihu chose to go , probably sick of our muppet fans . All obviously monks fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
