MrMiyagi 0 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 You're wasting your time Gregg, mate. Facts mean nothing in the face of an OMG HES SHIT1111 argument. What facts? That he did nothing for 5 years then OMG HE SCORED 2 GOALS IN 4 GAMES THATZ A 1 IN 2 RATIO SHOLA 4 ENGLAND!!!! If you want to give ratios of such short periods and use them as facts to manipulate the fact that he is actually not good enough then that kind of fan fickleness is a contributing factor as to why this club underachieves.

TheInspiration 1 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) All this whining people have at Shola is pathetic really. He played really well last year, until his injury really kicked in but we can accept that. People can't accept he's improving and has done nothing at all to warrant all this hate. I persoanlly don't think he's a particularly gifted player but he has his merits and he proved that he CAN score goals last year. I think he would be a fine fourth choice striker and hope he'll be better than before when he returns. Whenever I've seen people whining about him they have always referred to him being crap for his first five years, and forgetting that's getting less and less relevant now.

Shearergol 0 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Ameobi never played well with Shearer alongside him. With all other partners he's looked a lot better. It's going to be hard to attract a new striker of any quality to this club when they know full well they're only 3rd choice. EDIT: I've just read the story. Does that mean that Sibierski got his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Name me who you would want to see us sign who is better than Ameobi and who we can get for a very small fee so not to dent our budget that must be used to sign defenders. Our talent scouts are paid thousands so I don't see why I should have to provide a response. If they do their job properly they'll be able to find cheap players that are better than Shola. Benni McCarthy and Mpenza are just a couple of this season's examples that half-decent strikers can be picked up on the cheap. Jason Roberts, he's wanting away from Blackburn. Shola is fucking pony and thats the end of it. He would have been gone a long time ago if he wasn't a local lad - factamondo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's now dropped form 3rd to 4th Shola has been playing at the top level for years alongside some world class strikers and he still doesn't know when to head the ball down i.e Charlton game a while back, Nobby had to tell him.

If its the same Leazes that is also NE5 then I wouldn't worry, he is under the impression that full backs are only there to defend and have no responsibility to get forward and help out with the attack.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) He's a boo boy, so it doesn't matter what he does. My feelings on him are well known, but I'll just add what really boils my piss is the pathetic stick he gets from his own fans both home and away, especially as ceratin people are just waiting to jump on his back. He's used as the scape goat, and I bet Stephen Carr can't wait for him to come back. EDIT: As for Roeder, I heard a bit of Mick Quinn on Talksport today (I know, I was channel switching) who reckons he's heard stuff from hois 'newcastle connections' that moves are definately underway to replace Roeder at the end of the season.

Why doubt him when he hasn't had the chance to prove he's still a "thick, lazy donkey"? Some of the stick he gets is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 FFS Shola is a joke. Answer me this, when was the last time you saw shola strike the ball cleanly and with power?, and don't come back pointing out some fucking grass cutter he's amaged to prod in. I can remember the exact game and my memory is like a sieve, thats how good he is. He's meant to be a striker. That means striking the ball accurately, powerfully into the back of the net on a regular basis, he doesn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen him strike the ball powerfully, but I admit he fluffs his shots up way too much. Similarly he's done some fine headers, but also some awful headers. So yeah, he's not a brilliant player and I've already stated he shouldn't be above fourth-choice. That however does nothing to argue with the fact he had an excellent 2006, so why not just build on that instead of assuming he's crap because he was five years ago etc?

Why should we accept having worse back up strikers than all the other top clubs? Even as 4th choice he'd inevitably play a lot of games and when injuries start he becomes 1st choice from 4th, and as he is too poor for that role!

It's not about judging him purely on how he was five years ago, but how he has progressed. And he hasn't progressed a lot. You can give him his goals recently, fair enough. And yes, he might get a bit too much stick (it's not his fault that he gets still picked despite not being good enough ). But I still think that his overall performances weren't anything to rave about and that make you optimistic that he really will add something to the team in the future. And he's not 21 year old any more. So, I'd rather cash in on him and try something else with more chances that it is going to pay off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jock 0 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) Build on! Whats there to build on? He has barely got the basic skills you need to play at this level. The only reason he should be kept is because he's a good championship player and thats where we'll be playing the season after next with roeder steering the ship.
