Strikers

1st, odejayi DOES NOT look like a footballer, i went to nearly all the pre season games (morecambe, bury etc) and he looked a world beater, every time ive seen him in the league he is shocking, no 1st touch, cant get the ball out of his feet, head always down, darent shoot, doesnt use his pace, too weak, looks really scared, doesnt win much in the air and takes too many touches. i want him to do well but for me he has got to go in january, i like the lad but we cant carry passangers if we want to be a force to be reckoned with.
2nd, mostto, not seen a lot of him and can has shown flashes of brilliance, BUT 90% of the time hes like a headless chicken, no confidence, too weak, shootings abysmal (didnt see his goal at buxton). For me these 2 have to go in january, mostto will end up back in peru and odejayi will end up at a league 1 club. Sign macken up, looks good but not a out and out goal scorer, keep hold of stan and cristensen AND GET A PROVEN GOALSCORER in the ranks, if we had some fire power up front, some real fire power we would have won last night and would be higher in the league (nothing wrong with where we are now, above my expectations) so desperatley need a 15 - 20 goal a season striker, macken and ferenczi hustle and bustle centre forwards who can hold the ball up and pass well, christensen provides something a bit different, but with no goal scorer, where are the goals gunna come from when they dry up from the midfield.

only my opinions

 

Agreed about Odejayi. He looked great in pre season and especially at Morecambe on his debut. I know Mostto only scored against Buxton, but it was such a cracking goal that it gave me hope of him doing it in the league. We need a proven goalscorer. Anyone from Michael Boulding to come back who's knocking them in for Mansfield

 

Ridiculous to rule Mostto out now, aside from the fact that hes barely had a chance to shoot. Put him in the same team as Anderson Silva regularly and see what happens. I'd predict goals.

 

tbh sick of hearing "let him settle in" "ridiculous to rule him out. how long we supposed to give him? and if he dont get no better and we end up selling him 1 or 2 maybe even 3 years on, we wont get anything near we payed for him + we have wasted our time in trying to find a decent striker. Also, strikers have to take their chances, even if its 1 chance in 2 games. im not ruling him out completley, but things dont seem to be getting better with him. i would LOVE for odejayi and mostto to prove me wrong, i would love it

 

I reckon you're spot on. Couldn't agree more. Finding (and affording) a proven goalscorer in Jan however could prove difficult!!

 

I don't mean that - I mean that nobody's created him any chances for him to miss! Put him in the same team as Anderson, regularly, and Mostto will score goals. He got to play upfront with Odejayi and basically receive hoofball.

 

DaleTyke are you retarded? Put it like this, your still at school arn't you? right well say if you moved over to peru on your own no family or anybody, had to move schools etc, you think that after not even 6 months there you would be entirely comfortable, got used to the language, do you think you'd be doing quality pieces of work at school all the time.

Everybody has an opinion and mine is that Mostto over time will come good, you don't go from being top scorer in peru etc to doing **** all in the english second tier just like that give him time! Tevez is a good example, he never really looked anything like the sort of player he is now until well into the season for west ham.

 

Your Opinion is flawed

Tevez was actually a player of vast worth and was a regular in the Argentina side, Mostto is a bit part player for Peru and he only cost £400k, very big difference between them. If I had to make a comparison between Tevez and a Peruvian Striker, then surely I would use the Celsea striker Pizarro, cost a lot more and a Regula in the Peru team.

 

I don't see how Mostto can be judged - we havent created a single chance for him. He was playing upfront with Odejayi who it seems to me would be very very difficult to strike any sort of understanding with. Now that Andersons back, I think Mostto will come good. I know I've been told by people who went to training that he looks electric there - its about understanding and service. When he gets it, he'll score goals. Just my opinion - and by all means you guys are entitled to yours.

 

RE: Your Opinion is flawed

Yes and we are a championship team, not going for the premiership title and champions league.

(doh)

 

Is he back from Peru?

 

So were West Ham a Championship team last season then

(kissmyass) (kissmyass) (kissmyass)

 

No, thats what I'm saying.

You'd expect West Ham to be signing a better quality player than us with them being a league above.

(kissmyass) (kissmyass)

 

I'd like to see Macken and Mossto

I know it was mentioned earlier but I think the idea has merit

particularly now that the ball is moved up through midfield

Macken has shown why he has not been a prolific scorer, needs someone to play off and I still think Mossto will be a goal machine with the right service

however, SD will probably have to be forced into trying other combinations (through first choice players being absent), and he doesnt have the luxury of 'easy' games to experiment

 

Strikers are only as good as the service they get

And at present ours are getting very little service. The 'lump the ball up the middle' is not working and we have to learn to play on the ground a bit and pass the ball around accurately. Its not rocket science it works with successful teams, why not us, When this happens then Mossto will be a good buy.

 

rotherham tyke........

did i not say it wo my opinion like

different thing, if i went to live over ther, no1 would have payed 400 grand for me to do a job + i wouldnt be payed a damn good wage.
end of day...SO FAR he isnt doing the job he is payed for (all excuses aside) i would love him to prove me wrong, absolutley love it, at times he looks quality

 

And now for a translation...

Please?

 

Then why are we comparing the two then? nt

 

Stuart Fleetwood

I was surprised that Hereford released him, especially after he scored a hat trick in the cup against Coventry City. I am not surprised that he is scoring for fun in non-League with Forest Green. As a former Cardiff City player and Welsh Under 18international, I would think that he knows Nyatanga. I think he would cost the same as Odejayi (say £200k), but would be one worth bringing on. Stoke and Plymouth also interested.

 

200k??
