You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

I suspect that will be in both their biographies. But at the minute, neither of them being called N'gog, I might have a punt.TKIZ! wrote:Bendtner and Ameobi are still doing nowt.
We could probably do something with a 5 in mf, with 4 of them hitting 8/9 goals. At the mo, I don't see that MF. We would still need one upfront bagging a good few too. Not sure we have that person either.

Mark Davies if he's as good as is made out should be able to bag 8/9/10 goals. Chungy too, but then we know he probably won't.Prufrock wrote:Yup.

We're short of goals though that is for sure.
Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread
I've not seen a single person saying Mark Davies provides much in the way of goal threat himself. You might as well say Bogdan, if he's as good as is made out should be able to bag 8/9/10 goals.
Chungy, Hall, Feeney all about 5 each. Cravies might get a couple if he's got to play.

Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread
People have described Mark Davies as "the best in the division". Not that I agree, but an attacking midfield player talked about in those terms should be able to bag 8/9 goals at least surely?Prufrock wrote:I've not seen a single person saying Mark Davies provides much in the way of goal threat himself.

Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread
Not only not signing amyone for a month but also no seroous rumours either we have decended to squabbling about the merits of a player we DO have. This thread has turned into a load of shite. The Arab needs to sort it out.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Zidane didn't once score ten league goals for Real Madrid in a season, managing it only once in his entire career, and he was all right. It isn't Mavies' game.BWFC_Insane wrote:People have described Mark Davies as "the best in the division".

Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread
It has the potential to be, but Mark Davies has to show that he can influence games over a long period not just here and there. Clearly injuries have not helped and I think he's a good player but he has to prove he can be the main man, dictating play in there.thebish wrote:hmmmm.... back in April last year you said that a midfield with Mavis in front of Spearing and Medo would be "miles ahead of owt else in this division."BWFC_Insane wrote:People have described Mark Davies as "the best in the division".

I know what you're saying but I think in this league if you play 1 up your attacking midfield player needs to chip in.Prufrock wrote:Zidane didn't once score ten league goals for Real Madrid in a season, managing it only once in his entire career, and he was all right.

I agree it isn't really his game but if he stays fit and plays I expect him to get 8/9/10 goals this season playing there. I think he can do that personally.

Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread
I think he can. If he plays 35 games, I'd expect 8 goals at least, like BWFCI says

Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread
Said to have wanted £40k pw plus £30k for every point they get. Every point! So in a two-win week he'd be bagging £220k.danardif1 wrote:Eintracht Frankfurt offered him £57000 a week plus performance bonuses, but he wanted more than that...Vertigo wrote:I can't imagine the "best player in the world" would want to play for us?

Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread
Ameobi is worth a punt, but for me we should now be blooding our youth or looking at League One/Scandinavia for strikers who can step up and make a name for themselves a la Ricketts.

Trouble with that is League One clubs now want millions for their strikers.Bijou Bob wrote:Ameobi is worth a punt, but for me we should now be blooding our youth or looking at League One/Scandinavia for strikers who can step up and make a name for themselves a la Ricketts.
Game has changed - players who are most likely to make it are already in premiership reserve/youth squads.
The rest is one huge needle in a haystack search. And not a cheap one either.

Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread
I'd back Kevin Phillips to score more than our deadly duo. Prove me wrong lads, I'll be delighted.

Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread
Trouble is, TD, he can't play as lone striker - not got the legs now to do anything but penalty-area predator. So it restricts you to two up front at all times, which might not be for the best. And we've already got Beckford filling that role, even if he does occasionally run about a bit.TANGODANCER wrote:I'd back Kevin Phillips to score more than our deadly duo.
