RobJames 891 Posted January 29 (edited) Pinkun says we are interested in Mikey Unlike Idah, he knows where the goal is and can hit the target. Both Barnes and Sargeant are more the 'tap in' type forwards. We need another like Sainz who will run at defenders, and score. Whether Celtic will see how Sainz and Rowe have improved massively with us and sanction a loan, maybe even a sale, is yet to be seen. And like so much, it is dependent upon the chain/logjam being broken. Here's hoping, because this is the one area we need to strengthen Edited January 29 by RobJames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has fewer career goals, at a worse goals-per-game and goals-per-minute rate than Idah. Yes, I know he's predominantly a wide player, and he'd probably be more useful than Placheta and Hernandez, but this is the second time this evening you've made a statement that completely contradicts facts in an attempt to criticise Idah. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobJames 891 Posted January 30 And this is the umpteenth time youn have made up stuff, I have not said. The numbers you quote are not the be all and end all of a player. Idah's goal tally include 2 penalties, one of which he nearly missed. And " you've made a statement that completely contradicts facts ". No, I posted an opinion on Idah's ability. Not the same. No facts stated, just an opinion. If you are going to reply, then reply to what I actually said. Those with mild Asperger might excite themselves over numbers. Others watch the game and Idah's ability and contribution. Idah has very limited ability on the ball and his contribution is all too often useless, hence him not being first choice. He is not the 'wunderkind'. He is 23 in a fortnight. He has failed to live up to that earlier promise. Something I suspect most other on here, and elsewhere, can see. Time for us to move him on, as his reported move to Verona suggests. And time for you to recognise that any talk of a 'possible' signing of a striker will undoubtedly focus on those he will replace.

Feedthewolf 4,882 Posted January 30 Sadly the fact that he's predominantly a left winger suggests that he's more likely to be a replacement for Rowe than for Idah. Here's hoping this report is actually 'wide of the mark'... #nocircus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B Not sure why you are comparing the goalscoring ability of a right winger with a striker. But 1 goal in 25 games in the Portuguese league last season doesn't really support your story, and this is clearly the Jonny Rowe replacement if true, and we've then got to compare his 10 goals in 85 career league games with Jonny Rowe's 12 goals in a little over half a season. Completely uninspiring and I find it very difficult to put a positive spin on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its like the 2005-2009 period all over again, continual downgrading of players to fit a shrinking playing budget until we hit a rock bottom. Hopefully this time the rock bottom coincides with Mark A taking full control of the club and a new era. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
