KeelansGlove 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Well I guess the title says it all really, do you remember that striker we used to have that scored 9 goals on the way to Cardiff and 15 the year after ? Probably not playing up front most of the time either, why hasnt paul been given a chance upfront ? just because he can if neccesary play on the wing ?Give him a chance upfront I say where he belongs, maybe him and Svensson could be the partnership to keep us going till January.

Old Boy 0 Posted October 26, 2004 What happened to him? Well, he got a new long term contract, then...I hope he hasn''t entered the "twilight comfort zone". He''s too young and too talented for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Iwan got too old and we got promoted! That 15 goal lad was left behind years ago I''m afraid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Good question KG, we seem to see eye to eye on this! I think you contributed when i raised this one before while we were still umming and ahhing about the right strike partnership.I''m amazed that that DD and Old Boy have been so harsh and cynical on the lad. Everyone should know what happened to 15 goal WLY. He got stuck out on the wing, that''s what!!The guy arguably has a keener eye for goal than anyone else at the club but because he''s got two feet and can cross and run with the ball a bit he got stuck out there to make way for big name misfits like Cottee, Libbra, Nielsen (maybe harsh) and the like.I remember others wheeling out the "too small to be a prem striker" argument when i raised the WLY up front debate earlier in the month. I''ve got four words for that argument:Defoe, Dickov, Owen, BellamyPAUL McVEIGH IS A STRIKER! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
