Tetteys Jig 830 Posted May 23, 2014 Act fast Neil! Would be a top signing! 2 year deal to help get us promoted and help Loza and Morris into mens football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted May 23, 2014 [quote user="Herman "]We really have regressed back to the bad old days if this is the best we can attract.[/quote]Hahahahaha. An experienced PL striker, who scored 10 in 18 in his last stint in the Championship.He''d be a top signing for ANY championship team. He''ll be going to another PL team and he''d be a decent signing for most bottom half sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,585 Posted May 23, 2014 He''s 32 and scored 15 in the last four seasons. I''d welcome him with open arms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St Georgey 0 Posted May 23, 2014 Would be a perfect fit for our team. Bet he goes elsewhere. I could see Hull even making a move for him. Maybe even Palace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted May 23, 2014 Herman surely you know not to judge a player based on just goals scored?If we signed him as our main goal scorer then yes, it''d be a poor signing. But thats not what he is. Never has been. Like Elmander. And like Elmander he''d be able to create chances for Hooper. Hooper only managed one goal all season without Elmander playing with him. Its not a coincidence.Don''t know why some people can''t see the importance of a player like Ameobi, Elmander etc. If you can get one like Holt that scores the goals too, Ashton to an extent, Roberts. Great. But they aren''t exactly common. We got every so lucky with Holt, before we signed him he was on a downward spiral, i''m sure before the start of that season he was quite possibly thinking he may never even make it back to the Championship, let alone have a 15 goal season in the Premiership.Ameobi is a decent player, i''d be shocked if we do sign him as he''ll more than likely be off to another PL side, Derby maybe if they win the PO Final, or Hull as suggested, WBA might even take punt. This is a player with almost 300 PL appearances, over 400 in all comps, played 7 seasons in Europe. Maybe would have been a fairly regular international if he''d declared for Nigeria earlier than he did. Would be a fantastic addition for many reasons.

Herman 9,585 Posted May 23, 2014 I know. But this reminds me too much of the seasons pre-league 1, when his name would crop up on a regular basis. Add the fact that I''ve never rated him and I hope you might understand why I am nonplussed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted May 23, 2014 But he was never going to come then, he''s always been near the first team with Newcastle. Fair enough you''ve never rated him, no point going over everything again but his ability and experience could be a great addition if (when) we can''t find another Grant Holt.
