His ball retention is exceptional, he is fast, reasonably tall and offers a threat in the air and he also offers the capability to win turnover ball in very dangerous places. This is a player whom Farke could improve. He would be an upgrade on Hugill, has more positional nous than Idah and if we are interested then we would have scouted him properly and know about a weak foot (if he even has one) from having watched him for a lot more than 2 minutes on a YouTube video. He could be a very good fit for us as he can play anywhere in the front 4 positions in a 4231 Sounds like an excellent player, I'm guessing the flaw is that we don't play a 4231?

I'm guessing his failure to square the ball to Pukki a few weeks back has suitably demonstrated why I think idah lacks scruples? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But he doesn't look the sophisticated striker we needed this season to compete with, and eventually succeed, Teemu Pukki. That said, at least we are finding a place on the pitch for this one, I'm more concerned about the £25m of talent we've got wasting away on the bench.

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted October 24, 2021 To be fair some of Sargent’s touches yesterday made me think that rather than being really one footed like TVB said he’s actually no footed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgncfc 1,228 Posted October 24, 2021 To be fair to TVB, quite a lot of the time he says the right thing in what people seem to think is the wrong way. We've had our run ins too, but in this case (Sargent) I see nothing to criticise him for. That first piece of abject control in yesterday's match almost set the tone - it was like a wall pass; almost like Sargent had never played before, and reminded me of the RVW ghost ball, it was so bad. If Sargent starts against Leeds I will be utterly astonished. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I admit that I had reservations too, but Camp was never an upgrade on McGovern. Rhodes scored more than Hugill but that's because he played more. Hugill's four goals were at a rate of one every 169 minutes, whereas Rhodes' seven were one every 213. Wilshere was never a goer for many reasons, mainly because we didn't need him, even during our injury crisis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
