SallyCinnamon Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 2 minutes ago, DJMortimer said: That aspect of his transfer is a damning indictment of the ownership team, not the player. But it is an expedient excuse to sweep all the other issues under the rug when looking at what he is accountable for. Truth is, we never needed him in the first place as we already had huge numbers of experienced and talented forwards at the club and other areas of the squad where reinforcements actually were required. When you consider the overall financial situation, this was all the more insane. Absolutely was a daft signing and has caused us a lot of trouble financially. But point stands that’s not his fault. I don’t think he’s ever been given a fair crack at it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored just 3, and that was in a team that finished 4th that first season. From memory You try and debunk him on every single thread with the same bile. I bet those 2 more miracles hurt today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 He’s also just a proper sound guy. Ask anyone in football. I’m buzzing for Jordan tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good win today, scores two and there's negativity about him. What about the revenue he could have cost us by refusing to take a penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evaowl Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 There is no doubt he didn’t deserve a place in the side for a long time but from day 1 THIS season he was clearly the best we had so should have played as first choice striker all season. It is totally irrelevant what we paid for him or his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a drift from the rest... a great escape now with Jordan Rhodes and who cares how much he cost or his past failures to us none of that is important really in 2021. Its about staying in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grandad Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 15 minutes ago, DJMortimer said: Come on now. It's been suggested we've invested somewhere in the region of £14m in him. He is a million miles away from justifying that outlay and not one supporter would have been happy if at the time they would have known how it would turn out. If he keeps playing well and we pull off the unlikely escape this season, he will at least have rescued something from the overall situation. But as I keep saying, much of my criticism has been for the hypocrites who move the goalposts when judging him, rather than the player himself (perhaps best demonstrated by the almost identical minutes per goal compared to the likes of Windass and Nuhiu before today). When we had a wealth of striking talent his place in the stands was absolutely merited. Things have changed and I've agreed many times that he should have had more opportunities this season. The other players in his position are not very good and he is looking more up for the fight. While that's the case he deserves to play and get the plaudits. Nothing to do with a vendetta and it's a shame you have to be so petulant about it. If we don't play him he can't score That's not his fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think loads of people are saying he "so good" tbh. In fact, I think you've just made that up. People are happy cause he's scoring a few goals and it is nice to see after having such a poor time since signing here. No one will have bought him off us because we probably wanted a daft fee for a player we rarely played/the wages he's on with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
